F-15EX is best F-15 variant and best overall conventional fighter in terms of reliability, durability, practicality, combat radius, avionics, armaments. The Air Force prefers the F-15EX today because it's supposed 5th generation fighter replacement failed to perform all the sorties required by F-15EX. F-22 failed reliability durability, long term maintenance and it's more of just an air superiority fighter and not a multi-role fighter. F-35A is too small to be the fighter bomber. F-23 is supposed to be the ideal replacement but it didn't enter active service.

"The Air Force prefers the F-15EX today " That is completely incorrect. The USAF never wanted the F-15EX and it still doesn't since the jet cannot survive in contested airspace. Your claims about 5th Generation aircraft not performing the soties required is just utter rubbish, as is your claim about the F-22A. The F-35 too small to be a fighter bomber? Just what planet are you on? This comment shows a fundamental misunderstanding of how modern combat has worked since the introduction of mass produced GPS guided weapons, not to mention the laser guided weapons before them. No fighter flies with the huge loads your idiotic comment implies, they fly with at most four 2000lb class weapons. The huge war loads you fanboys love to point at were never realistic load outs in the past and are not now. The more I read your comment the more stupid it is.

@kwonekstrom2138 День назад

We don't "wild weasel" anymore. The role is SEAD. Instead of a wild weasel we throw out a MALD and met Magnum do the work. But this would definitely be one hell of an EW platform.

@skiahh День назад

No F-15 will replace the -18. One landing on a carrier would squash those spindly little landing gear. Now perhaps they'll create an EA-15EX or something and fly in concert with the Growler, from AF Expeditionary wings, but the Navy isn't giving up its EA capability in the carrier air wing. Then again, the EW/EA mission isn't really cool enough for the air force, so they'll probably just leave it to the Navy.

@ArthurDeckbar День назад

what about the new engines and fly by wire?

@hollowpoint1057 День назад

You missed the actual mission that the EX will perform. As indicated the EX is a missile truck. With new generation missiles that are much longer range, the EX will fly behind F35s. The F35 will acquire targets, and relay the targeting to its EX missile truck. The F35 can even take control of the missile guidance (if necessary) after they have fired.

@guyb7995 День назад

I am sure I have seen other reputable sources detailing the EX being in the range of $115 mill+ so much more expensive than a 35, but because its a different mission capability it is still highly desired (missile truck etc).

Um, the MIG-25 was NEVER designed to be a fighter, it was a high altitude, high speed interceptor designed SPECIFICALLY to counter the XB-70. The MIG-31 is also a high altitude high speed interceptor but with look down/shoot down radar designed to counter B-1B and B52's on low altitude penetration missions. While it is true the F-15 was designed to counter the mythical superfighter that western analysists thought the MIG-25 was going to be. Fighting each other is not in the MIG-25 or 31's mission profile.

the F-15EX can carry extended range new generation air-to-air missiles, making kills at around 200 miles. This will make stealth much less of an issue. With the new AF data link, they can hit ground targets using F-35/F-22 information, extending the effectiveness still further, not to mention the ability to use loyal wingman uavs. All this is a significant enhancement of AF capability. especially in the Pacific ocean.

I'm partial to 2 seaters from my experience... @MaxAfterburnerusa Ryan, you missed out on a possible future capability. I can envision a scenario where the F-15EX is loaded to bear with the next gen of BVRAAM missiles (AIM 260, etc) acts as a quarterback in launching the missiles well outside the range of enemy IADs or fighters and 5th/6th gen fighters provide terminal guidance. In other words, the F-15EX calls "Eagle 11, YOLO 1" over the net and an F-35 is providing terminal guidance without the enemy knowing it's there. And yes, I'm advocating that YOLO be added to NATO brevity for BVRAAM missile launches in place of a new FOX category.

@Erik-um1zn 17 часов назад

More F-22s is not an option. The production line was shut down early during the War on Terror: it would be almost as expensive to start it up again as to produce a brand new aircraft. The F-35 does not have the payload, speed and range that the F-15 EX has. It can serve as a missile truck for forward deployed F-35s/F-22s. All in all, it is an economical Fighter/bomber and Missile Truck that can bring the hurt when stealth isn't a priority; and can fire off stand-off weapons to be guided by stealth aircraft in the vicinity.

@loneirregular1280 20 часов назад

I think its an overpriced mule that will fall victim to modern SAM systems, even if it stays somewhat back. With that much dakka the plane will be a Christmas tree with all lights on, in the dark sky. Yeah it stays back I get it, but it would still have to be in WEZ which might compromise its safety. Could potentially work as a bait aircraft, but i feel sorry for the crew already. Better use that money on drones, that are linked together with the F-35s and F-22s, with the capabilities of the EX (Missile Bus, bait aircraft), could potentially be cheaper and safer for pilots. US weapon acquisition programmes are just plain idiotic at the moment (from an outsider perspective)

The F-15EX is based upon the F-15E Strike Eagle variant. The EX has an empty weight of 15,694 kg (34,600 lb) while the F-15C has an empty weight of 12,701 kg (28,000 lb). The Strike Eagle and EX being optimized for air ground ordinance payloads while the F-15C is optimized for air-superiority. The Airforce has placed an initial order for 12 F-15CX (often shortened to F-15X) which is based upon the lighter F-15C. The Airforce, mostly for the Air Guard component and some active wings, is said to be ordering between 150 to 250 of the CX variant.

@jerrybrown6169 День назад

I wonder how useful it would be to have 12 AMRAMMs hanging off a fighter. Tomcats could carry 6 AIM 54 missiles but rarely ever did as the aerodynamic penalties are huge and missiles are expensive. IF you want to shoot down drones you would need a much less expensive weapon. Nice plane though.

@NathanDean79 День назад

Why are we building it? Because they can serve as missile trucks. The F-15 EX 1 of them can carry up to 22 air to air missiles. AMRAM 120’s and Sidewinders. That’s more than even The F-15 C or E could Carry. It has extra hard points and it has more powerful engines to offset the weight increase.

@Elthenar 7 часов назад

Spoken like a former Eagle driver. It's definitely the best 4th gen fighter ever made. Even in a world with stealth fighters, that counts for an awful lot.

@TK199999 День назад

The simplest answer is probably because the F-15EX can carrier AIM-174B ultra long range (based om SM6 SAM) air to air missile and in large numbers. While also being able to network with stealth fighters around it or ahead of it making it an effective missile truck that can hold its own with its own flight capability and new AESA long range air to air radar.

Plus having an airframe designed for 20,000 HOURS, the much more powerful GE F110-129 turbofans and an open architect for future upgrades contribute to the awesome performance of the EX. I can’t wait to see what it can do.

Excellent Analogy Ryan, coming from a true professional ... and I did not see any favoring during this analogy because of you being partial to the F15. Excellent non-biased perspectives.

Wowza. I toured all the hangars, was completely blown away. Had the opportunity to sign up for an incentive flight due to the work I had been doing, but I regret to say that I did not sign up.

@mennnok День назад

It can carry 5x JASSM, push hypersonic weapons from higher and faster. Probably will have a role in SEAD/DEAD together with the F-35, as a big visible target for the S400. The F-35 is so expensive and so limited that in a real war in Europe the numbers are too small and we’ll need some F-15EXs as a replacement for strategic bombers because no European country has those. IMHO the only thing the F-35 has going for it are the sensors and the sensor fusion.

@simongeorge2505 23 часа назад

one of its biggest unsung advantages is its legs which is something the F35 does not have. You have FAST packs on the Eagle, you can hang additional tanks on the wings (and centreline) none of which is available on the F35. That allows you to go further (key in the Pacific or stay longer)

@rudyyarbrough5122 День назад

I think the number one reason for the EX is money. Then it is useful because it will be used with stealth aircraft. It needs the 200-mile missile because it will be on the enemy's radar 200 miles out. Also, ROE makes that range highly unlikely if it is an allied fight. The Gulf War proved that. The stealth aircraft won't even be seen at 200 miles and not at 10 miles. The F-15 is a great platform but cannot operate in a theater of sophisticated radar sites without the aid of Gen 5 aircraft and jammers.

@bariman223 День назад

I thought the number of F15EX fighters being purchased were reduced? That's not to say the air force doesn't want more, but projects like the Sentinel program is taking up the budget. Also, the F15 has the best W to L ratio among fighter jets but is no-where close to having the best W to L ratio if all time for aerial combat. Come on dude, you're a combat pilot. You should know that people are going to call you out on that one.

@ray32245mv День назад

I think it comes down to range and payload, especially large/heavy payloads. Having a dedicated WSO also helps with the long flights, and I really think that's what the EX is optimized for; being able to get a little farther away from the tankers because of some of the longer-range A2A coming online.

Clearly the 15EX is superior to all adversary jets out there. The “stealth” jets of China/Russia are NOT. They may have lower cross sections than those same sized jets in non-stealth configuration, but not F-22/F-35 peers. Considering that Russia has fewer than 20, and China is only in a very small (relative) theater, the 15EX is a VERY good purchase. The 15EX as a missile truck for the F-35 is a great plan also. The F-35s identify and target the J-20s (unseen) and the F-15EX unloads its missiles LONG before it is in range of the J-20 missiles, a great plan. We need 400 15EXs. The “stealth war” will be over in less than a month of any “near peer” war. The radar based air defenses (SAMs, and other stealth jets) will be eliminated by then. Keep in mind, the U.S. has no need to “invade” either Russia or China. Their war making infrastructure can be eliminated and removed without an invasion, and they both can EASILY be blockaded, starving them in about 6 months. And Both are very ripe for internal revolutions.

We should make a shitload of these things and use them with all of the advanced stealth jets we have and the future ones that come out.

I am waiting for the certification of the -132 engines so that the US will have the higher performance over the other exports.

The Eagle is a radar billboard, but is certainly good for launching standoff weapons, and for air to ground sorties in secure airspace.

What happened to the triple racks that were making so much noise a few years ago that would allow the F-15 to carry 24 missiles?

If the F35 takes out the S400's then the F15EX comes in a cleans house.

The Airforce is not really choosing it, they are being FORCED to buy it from Congress.

over engineering is an issue because diminishing returns on standard thinking. once you see diminishing returns it's time for new thinking.

Is it probably our fav plane ever for every generation that love planes, but better that f35 ?

@lawrenceralph7481 День назад

Gotta do something to protect from long-range anti air missiles or these become expensive targets.
