Its combat radius was only about a hundred miles.

The Hornet proved to be effective but limited in combat radius.

The aircraft had limited range, under 300 miles combat radius, which made it marginal as an escort.

They were to carry sufficient fuel and ammunition for a combat radius of 200 km.

However, the very short combat radius and need for long runways limited its operational usefulness.

I mean, this lessened combat radius doesn't even come into existence until near the end of their rampages.

An aircraft with drop tanks will have a greater combat radius than the same one without, due to the extra amount of fuel carried.

The combat radius can be increased to 1,300 kilometers with 3 underwing fuel drop tanks.

Its top speed and combat radius superiority to the Soviet fighter jets were the deciding factors.

Load-out inventory for the F-22s had been calculated against the mission objectives, combat radius, and other factors.

Supporting firefields, meshing together to sweep across nearly a 360-degree combat radius.

That gives that aircraft a total combat radius exceeding 700 nautical miles.

Despite its speed, it was inferior to the Tu-16 with respect to combat radius, weapon load, and serviceability.

The Brezhnev remains at the very edge of the Nimitz's effective combat radius.

The combat radius of an aircraft is often given with its mission profile (without in-air refueling).

The HH-43B's combat radius of only 75 miles was increased with added fuel drums strapped in the cabin.

The new JH-7B also added aerial refueling capabilities which greatly increases its combat radius.

If these fighter-bombers were all transferred to the Wendeng military airport, most of Japan's Kyushu Island would be within their combat radius.

Combined, they carry 3,500 lb of extra fuel, while adding extra lift and expanding combat radius by 260 nmi with a small transonic acceleration penalty.

The likelihood that F-16 fighters would attack the Three Gorges Dam varies with respect to their combat radius, flight altitude and external fuel capacity.

The F-35A model is currently estimated to have a combat radius, without in-flight refueling, of 584 nautical miles instead of the anticipated 690 nautical miles.
