Like they told us, "you aren't adding material back into the hole as you run the drill bit through it a second time." And the ever popular, "The customer is buying a new product, not a repaired one."

[@cecilmessi6972]

[@brodieboy3]

Why do you 'need' A single seater? Having the 2nd seat means that every plane has the option for a second operator if the mission calls for it .. and lots of A2G missions do as evidenced by the Strike Eagle. There's also a benefit to having a few command/control, navigation, & communication guys and some planes may get.optimized for EW operations by adding Growler jamming pods. I also see UCAVs/ loyal wingmen becoming a bigger part of most every mission. EXs accompanied by stealthy ucavs will likely become the norm for 1st day strikes and taking out enemy air defenses where you don't want to risk losing pilots and even stealthy F35s will become more vulnerable and they don't have sufficient on-board fire power by themselves to take on enemy fighters reacting to the initial attacks. F35s will, however, be valuable as they silently lay in wait along side EXs to attack any fighters that do respond .. at which point more EXs loaded up with cruise missiles and other A2G weapons can proceed further forward to take and command & control, air base, infrastructure & enemy troop concentration targets.

The military side of Boeing has had nothing but success after success. The latest variant of the F15 is continues that legacy of success.

The F-15 legacy fighter is the stuff of legend, the F-15EX is only the Legacy F-15 in appearance , it is closer to an F-22 in performance and avionics without the stealth, but it will dominate the skies in WVR dogfight ( within visual range), and even prevail in most BVR fights because of it's incredible AESA Radar

Those conformal fuel cells on the sides of the intakes really do look awesome and they really blend in to the overall design of the aircraft. And the new avionics and weapons system make it very useful along side the F-22 and F-35. All three linked together electronically and acquirering and targeting for each other thru data link makes for one heck of a punch when all three are used together. With a little help from India and their electronic expertise makes this an unbeatable trio.

The F-15E Super Eagle, is what I would have named it. Even the F-18 upgraded to the Super Hornet.

The BEST pilots deserve the BEST fighters in the known galaxy! Period!

With the added computer flight controls that is a big improvement.

I'm glad the USAF is purchasing the F15EX. I suspect its going to be a sucsess and they will replace all the existing F-15's with the EX. I certainly hope they do. Imo we need a mix of stealth fighters and fast, reliable fighters like the EX which can carry a variety of weapons the F35 and F22 cannot.

That jet looks super cool. Cant wait till it drops some missiles. That will be a cool sight

Looks awesome. I wonder whether the additional FBW allows it to manoeuvre closer to the limit than before. 22 missiles..... man!!!
