Interestingly looking at an international briefing set of slides about the F15SE it seems to have it's navigation, IRST and Sniper pods all hanging off the bottom of the plane. I'm not sure how all of this qualifies as VLO/LO from the front aspect? It also does not appear to employ any RAM coatings, just a somewhat vague statement about stealth from the frontal aspect?
The weapon bay appears to be the conformal fuel tanks and can only fit the same amount as the F35B, is there any fuel capability left in the tanks, which seems slightly unlikely looking at the design of the 'tanks'.
It all looks like a bit of a management driven lash up to be honest, which I'm slightly suprised at given you would have thought there might be some crossover from the X32.
