lj - landing distance is not an issue. The OEU trialled MOS ops years ago, averaging around ~X000ft stopping distance, which is a small number, believe me.

Take-off is another thing however, as you allude to. Fortunately, DMS, PWIV & Litening III don't weigh that much, so a light fuel load may see a relatively short take-off distance. But someone would need to type in the figues and I suspect the output would be a little classified (Restricted, possibly Confidential).

Why do we keep up this pi$$ing contest? It is a little childish.
