Armed Conflict · 2026-10-04 08:10:14 UTC · US, United States

While we have a likely-temporary gap in Coronet East movements, here's an update to the US Order of Battle for Fast-Jets in CENTCOM that so many of you have been asking for. As previously, please note that 2x F-15Es shot down by Kuwait have not yet been 100% identified (although I am now 80% certain on the identity of one), and are therefore still included in the overall figure:

F-15E "Strike Eagle" (39 - 2 shot down unidentified)

Coronet East 007 - 4th FW (SJ) - 11 jets (January 2026)

Coronet East 045 - 4th FW (SJ) - 1 jet (March 2026)

Unknown Coronet - 494th FS (LN) - 9 jets remain (January 2026, 1 shot down)

Unknown Coronet - 494th FS (LN) - 12 jets (July 2026)

*Note: Additional jets from RAF Lakenheath can be deployed forward to CENTCOM if required, and some have been deployed previously but are not at present, so are not included in the total.*
