I personally like Brash's suggestion of the F-15s. Lease them of the
Yanks with a clause that states if the JSF is late, we keep the F-15s
for free until the JSF turns up. Fat chance but. Expensive purchase of
munitions to begin with, unless what we've got in store are
compatible?

I'm no expert on air weapons, but I'm fairly sure that since every thing is
digitised these days its only a matter of software changes to use different
ordnance. Our current stocks of F111 weapons are most probably compatible
with the F15E (or K).

If the weapon uses a -1750 interface then it can be launched from
a -1750 compatible platform, with the usual caveats.
