Why the US Air Force Is Buying New F-15EX Fighter Jets 

If you ignore stealth the F15EX might be the best multi-role fighter jet in the world. It's also more affordable than some other options. Yes, stealth is important but you don't need every aircraft to have stealth. As long as you have enough of that capability within the fleet to carry out stealth missions. For example, you don't need stealth to defend Andersen Air Force Base. The F15EX with its 12 AMRAAMs at Mach 2.5 will do a better job than F35A with it's 4 AAMRAMs at Mach 1.6. But going into contested airspace to carry out a mission a F35A will outperform a F15EX. It's having the right tool for the job.

The air frame between the two platforms is also a factor.. The F15EX has roughly three times allow permitted flight hours verse the f35... so during the operational life span of the F15EX platform the USAF will retire and buy two additional F35 in comparison to the a single f15ex... Lastly the F15EX being procured to replace the current National Guard squadrons.

You can compare the F-15 to the F-22, the F-16/F18 to the F-35, but not the F-15 to the F-35.

Like the B-52, it is for different mission requirements. It is faster and can carry heavier load. Wouldn't exist if the original F-22 requirement were fulfilled.

Using them in tandem is definitely the best if you see a 15s and you're the enemy you probably won't see the f-35s who are the quarterbacks of the sky and can feed information which is like two snipers aiming at each other but one has a scope that is way way more powerful

I had been read that Japan want to upgrade their F-15J to F-15EX likely. And South Kores also want to upgrade their F-15K to have a AESA and other upgraded epuipments. How many years they can use F-15s longer?

Simple The F-15EX gives the ANG capable platform and frees up the F-35s for combat units

Boeing greatly reduced the RCS of the F-18 Super Hornet; you would think they would have done so with the F-15EX, they were offering previously the F-15 Silent Eagle.

I hear it was to spend their funds for physical year to ensure that appropriate funds would be available for the next year?

Mach 2.5 equals 1918 MPH! Not 1650 MPH in the video! As an United States Air Force fighter pilot, I've had the privilege to see some of the capabilities of the new F-15EX and it will blow your mind and the guy doing this video and the rest of you out there have no idea what the new F-15EX can do and it's not a fourth generation fighter, it's a 4.5 generation fighter, with whole new radar system that is mind-boggling and I can't say more than that! So for all you jealous naysayers out there, the new F-15 will be with us for approximately another 50 years, for a grand total of 100 years and that says something about this aircraft and now you know why they're building brand new ones! The F-15 first flew on July 27th, 1972 and just celebrated it's 50th anniversary on July 27th, 2022! Unbelievable! The F-15 was purposely designed like an Indian Arrowhead to make it extremely fast and it worked! Mach 2.5 and you can thank the Indians for the F-15! 104 kills 0 losses in air-to-air combat! Incredible! No other jet fight in the world has that record and now you know why it's called the greatest air superiority fighter in the world! I would like to take this opportunity to thank Boeing and Fairchild Republic for giving me the opportunity to fly the most magnificent aircraft in the world, and that's the F-15 Eagle and A-10 Thunderbolt 2! If any of you are thinking about joining the military, look no further than the United States Air Force! Great people, great opportunities, great benefits and great pay, what more could you ask for!

Video didn't really comment on F15EX gen 4.5 features(better radar, helmet displays, situational awareness) and also the need to carry vast more missiles into combat. The F35 and F22 can't hold the high number of missiles and larger missiles(hypersonic). Also ask, what if stealth becomes obsolete? The EX will compliment the stealth fighters.

Maybe I’m just a bit thick, but I can’t see a particular reason to buy the F-15EX when it will be essentially obsolete in 5 years. Sure, I guess you could still use it for some things some of the time, but it won’t do anything the F-35 can’t. Basically, the F-15 can fulfill some of the roles the -35 can, but not all. The F-35 can do everything the EX can, and do it without the rcs. Buy the airframes that will still be relevant in 6 years.

Missions are what is fought. An aircraft going on a mission requires support. Many times the support comes from other aircraft. So when figuring out a per hour cost and comparing the two you need to add in all the other support aircraft for that mission. With that in mind 4 F-35s by themselves do what a 4.5 Gen aircraft does with a total of 24 planes. For each F-35 you need 6 other aircraft for the same mission. So your single f-15 model whatever needs 5 more other aircraft for the same mission add in the extra 5 hours for every 1 hour of the F-15, F16, F-not 35 nor 22 but all the other ones and you will see just how much cheaper it is to operate the F-35 compared to the airplane it directly replaces and also the ones no longer needed when doing this kind of mission discussed. So your cheap F-15 on a per mission bases is hugely more expensive to operate per hour than the F-35. Other benefits are airspace deconfliction (traffic jams), reduced maintenance personnel, and material for the other 20 aircraft not needed for the F 35 four man ship.

Sehr Gutes Video !! Weiter so ! Grüße vom Sammelplatz !

Since they screwed up by getting rid of the F22 line, why not make something that will better the F-22 and buy a "new" cheap option like a modern F-16 program. Cut F35 buys as well.

US was supposed to buy, 174 new F15s but lowered it to the 80. Which isn't enough to replace the aging and over flown current F15C and Ds. US needs the 174 to replace the F15C and Ds

min 7:09 different missions: air superiority vs quarterback in the field

The F-15EX is more value for money compared to the F-35A.

The F-15 is the same approximate cost. The savings over the F-35 is infrastructure, training and parts availability. The F-15 ex is an incredibly fast machine. 2000 F-35's is a world-beating force. You decide. I'm sitting this one out. ☮️ = No War.

As there is no contested air space in home land security...F 15EX can be used ...

Title is misleading as the USAF has already cut back on F-15EX orders from 144 to just 80. With Rumors suggesting they would like to cancel it outright...

How about restarting the F-22 line? Has there been a cost assessment done with an updated version?

The Mig31 performance in Ukraine is probably a lot to do with this. F35s up front as a sensor platform relaying data back to missiles lobbed from high altitude Mach 2.5 F15s. Stealth and tech are extremely powerful, but there is no substitute for kinetic performance. It has all the subtlety of a howitzer, but if we regard it as aerial artillery then it makes a lot of sense. It is like asking if you need special forces or artillery crew. Special forces probably could man artillery pieces, but they are unlikely to do as good a job as dedicated personnel, even if they are objectively more talented. Stealth is wasted if you are planning on doing some of the more clever radar tricks. A datalinked F35 to distant F15 could illuminate a track with the F15 radar, and use the F35 radar to processes the signals without any active emissions. The F15 will be broadcasting it's location anyway. Stealth also has limited utility for airspace patrol. If you lose contact with an airliner you want to sent jets to it as fast as possible. Speed matters for this mission, stealth does not. I think the F35 fleet is not going to get as large as that, simply because that number is overkill for non peer threats, and the J20 will need a different aircraft to answer it.

So basically the only reason using F15EX is to house the hypersonics and pentegon didn't want to spend money to train individuals or spend the money to put engineers to load it onto the F35. F35 only house 4 missles... while adversaries house 6 to 12. Eagle houses 12 to upwards of 18 (and some say 21) if fully loaded. Twin engine allows Mach 2.4 which is better than Mach 1.6 with F35. F15EX is already fully upgraded

F15EX is basically a missile boat. Packing enough standoff missiles that is close to 2-3 F-16 vipers. It doesn't need stealth if some stealth fighter is ahead of it locking onto targets while it stays at stand off distance and start spamming AMRAMs.

As an ex Air Force guy, I think today's Air Force has its head up its butt. First they scrap the F-22 program prematurely, and invest heavily in the F-35, which in my opinion and the opinion of others, is a super expensive boondoggle and a plane whose performance as a dogfighter is severely limited. And in spite of what they're telling us about beyond visual range combat being the thing going forward, these planes will get sucked into dogfights just like the F-4 Phantom did in Vietnam (they were using the same " dogfighting is over" rationale about the Phantom too, and then it got sucked into dogfights and got its ass handed to it until modifications were made to make it more capable in that area). Then they decide that the F-35 is too expensive and not mission rate capable enough, and decide on a heavily upgraded new version of the F-15, which I at least believe still has a legitimate function for the USAF. Now they're making noises about halving the roughly 180 aircraft originally envisioned to concentrate on the F-35 again. Decide on an aircraft and buy the damn thing for crying out loud.

F-15EX is perfect for Europe. USAF does not need much technology to deal with Russian low budget Air force. But in Asia, F-35 is the perfect tools. Since PLAAF is getting better and more capable.

They are developing large hypersonic weapons. They need a fighter that can carry them for stand-off strikes.

I can see the logic in having a fast missile truck that stays in the sky for ages. Same reason you have slow twitch muscle fibres that don't produce the most force but just don't fatigue

Seems rather lax in keeping information secure, to prevent potential adversaries from collecting information on our airspace security abilities. But I'm just a civ, so what do I know...

So, the USAF is saying... quantity has a quality of it's own.

F-15 EX sales are because of the F-22 contract being cut short, not because of the F-35.

The F-15EX doesn't ever fly at Mach 2.5 Nor, does is really carry a heavier payload under most combat scenarios.

The F-35A has a range of ~2200km tho? Plus the F-15EX and F-35A aren't competing, it needs both for different goals. F-35A for deep strikec CAS, SEAD and more with a secondary CAP role (Even tho it is great at CAP) and the F-15EX for primarily CAP and ground strike as a secondary role. Plus the F-15C is outdated and the F-15E gets most of the flight hours nowadays as far as I know, and even the F-15E is becoming old so it would need a refresher. It is always good to diversify your airforce. The F-35A is currently sitting at about 77 million dollars, and one of it's main advantages over any other jet is that it can make any friendly jet around it that has datalink way deadlier and more effective than before

Buy as many F-35s as possible. In Beast Mode, they can carry a boatload of ordnance while having the versatility to be configured for stealth.

The F-15 is a fighter with a spotless career upgrades will do it well and it’s practical. The F-22 needs attention too it’s a great fighter too. The F-35 is new but is it really needed? The US have great designs and my older brother flew the F-15CJ for the JASDF for his time in the military and he will still sing it’s phrase. Like i said the F-15 is a wonderful multirole fighter and with its next evolutionary step it will still hold the record of being one of the greats.

As much as I dislike the F-35 and it's problems. It's the only jet worth selling. I'm with the US in not selling the F-22 to anyone, seeing as though it's too advanced. I think all US F-35 need to be consolidated into the F-35C. As for the F-15 there still isn't anything that can shoot it down easy in air to air combat. Additionally keep the F-16 in service would help tame cost. My suggestion, especially for the Airforce is to withdraw from the F-35 program and work toward replacing the F-22 or reducing it's cost.

Now I'm wondering if they're going to have a single seat version of the F-15EX.

It might be worth mentioning that If the US airforce wanted a cost effective machine but without sacrificing state of the art equipment they could order a combination fighter design. reducing the radar cross section is something the Navy and airforce both want to stay off enemy radar, but you can't have a state of the art machine without the corresponding costs that reflect the complexity of the aircraft. You want a more stealthy aircraft, sure ok hows about another $100 million sound. When you invest to much in stealth technology it is going to get expensive the price for the first F-22 was approximately $143,000,000 per plane which went up even more due to advancing and upgrading technologies to bring the cost to $228,000,000. The cost of the F-35A and F-35C are both around $75 million while its VTOL variant the F-35B is a whopping $80 million dollars. The price tag for the new F-15EX is around $80 million dollars but it will have the capability of both the F-15C Air superiority fighter and the F-15E Strike Eagle the ground attack variant and may even have the radar reducing paint of the F-35s to help reduce its radar cross section, as well as being more cost effective to operate compared to the F-35s which is sad to say is about $42,000 per flight hour.... while the new F-15EX can be flown for about $29,000 per flight hour. All and all while the F-35 is very nice to have its much to expensive to use for anything besides its initial mission which is data gathering and first strike capability while remaining undetected even until egress, but the F-15EX will be much cheaper to use and use more often to do the nitty gritty dirty stuff that the Airforce needs done. At least until the 6th Generation air superiority fighter has been designed and built.

You know, they should have developed like a twin-engined F35 optimized for air-to-air combat like 20 years ago. They could have called it something like the F20-something, Rapier maybe? Or wait maybe they should have named it after a bird of prey or something...oh well, I guess nobody thought to do that.

Wait what? They are behind on delivery? What if we were at war and we were losing planes by the day? How would they be able to keep up with replacing them?

The newest 6th gen fighter is on track to be flying pretty soon, and replace the f-22 and 35 (not entirely sure for the 35) so I mean I believe they’re tryna make do until that pops out soon; also they see that in a near peer conflict we will require many more aircraft than we anticipated prior.

It's gonna be expensive to smash those cans, to recycle, into my aircraft.

It is NOT ONLY air to air. Spin zone

Political issue 90% Professional concern 10%

As a Veteran I believe if we are going to put them up in some really bad areas they would have to be able to shoot down 30 or more and more put something hot under the hood and give it variable exhaust and the best of everything like partial stealth to let them start and finish engagement with anything else on the battlefield or over the water you have waited on FX and what are you waiting on exactly I know that new shit keeps getting made but let's pick one and run with it and arm naval forces first with new jets all the way around for super carriers now you can't wait any longer for two years we should be doubling our military spending to put American naval forces the punch they need for the mission at hand there is no way we could war on two fronts for very long and that's not a good idea 💡 because the only thing they respect is your ability to destroy anything else that's put on the table being the oceans

By making a few modifications to the F-15 fuseloge and canopy the radar image would shrink dramaticly. Perhaps the radar image would go below 1 square meter. Currently, the total number of possible plane landings for F-15 is astronomical. That further reduces the per unit cost much lower. F-15 has only ever died in simulations of air-to-air combat against F-22 and F-35. Given it's added skill as an air-to-ground aircraft you must really wonder if it is time to retire it.

As an American, im very disappointed in the way they are going about things. In every war where we have been air dominant, with the exception of korea. We have always had numerous numbers of fighters/interceptors/multirole/bombers. Vietnam we just had the f4 and even though contrary to popular belief the US still did have a better K/D ratio over the Vietnam migs in air to air kills, but we're not nearly as good a K/D ratios of the world war 2 and fighters from desert storm, and the middle eastern conflicts of the 2000s,2010s. So I would say I do not agree with them dumping all there eggs in the F35 basket. I don't think the f35 performs well enough in visual range and dogfighting, which I think it will encounter in a war say with Russia and china.

Assume a person that needs to go to work daily spending 2-4 hours on the road who owns a BMW, he would get a Buick or Toyota that is reliable & durable. The F-15EX is most reliable and durable aircraft whereas the F-35 is more like the BMW. F-15EX is multirole fighter able to do everything on its own.

It seem like the F-15 are Defensive Offensive, while F-35 are purely offensive. When Stealth failed or not an option, F-15 will be working side by side with F-35. Most likely F-15 will be the escort of F-35, a Defensive Offensive role. In WW2 German's Me 262 is too expensive to operate for a defensive mission against bombers. Imo the older design, mass-produced Bf 109 with 30mm MK 108 canons are the better option. With that, I think F-15 are better for Defensive.

F 15EX is an air to air fighter. F35 is primarily ground attack, Day 1 SEAD and DEAD missions, and penetration of high threat environments. There. Answered it for you. US took a bad turn, IMO, of trying to only have multirole fighters. This is a move away from that and field a specialized platform.

The high altitude surveillance balloons justify a fighter with an high altitude interception capacity. F-35 cannot do this.

F35 targets and the f15 acts as the long range missle platform

Oh my yknow with all these f15s getting close to retirement I would hope we can have something similar to the f16 where people can fly it

Us have to buy the 2 f15ex and f35 and all f15ex carry guided missile will the f35 go in and direct that missile that f15ex carry to hit the enemy.

Military TV gets it wrong. The F35 is not just designed to do strikes, it is just as much an air superiority fighter. This is because it is a collaboration between several nations where only the US has the F22. So, for most user nations the air superiority capabilities of the F35 is the most important capability.

Ok me and Mr. owl are batterd to deaf over the reason for the fx model . Uncle's old and new enemies are keeping their ancient platforms too ! , then i realized it is our modern version of the FB-111.

a new jet fighter or an older jet plane old or new both are worth are foredoom regardless how we look at it

The overwhelming majority of F-15EXs will replace long in the tooth ANG F-15Cs for the homeland defense role. Those squadrons were never slated to operate the F-35A.

The JSF is still unproven against a peer level adversary. I'm from the F-15 community so am biased but the ROE for most of the F-35 trials and operational mock ups aren't available to the public. Depending on how you set them you can make a rock look as efficient as a bullet. Also, the F-35 FMC rate is very poor. If the new avionics that make this fighter so superior worked more often the FMC rates would be up. I'm going with 2 engines, 2 folks in the cockpit, and a jet that can return missing most of it's wing. On another note, I don't think the F-35 has a DEWS system, I'll bet the EX does because the E model did.

Go ahead but give em everything in the beginning and make it cheaper to fly and make em faster and more agile and able to engage before anyones within engagement ranges it should be able to get four or more missile's in the air before the enemies know that they are in the neighborhood four splashed aircraft before they even know that they have already been downed

I dont get why the US dont invest into a maneuverable stealth mid-long range missile truck to work behind raptors and f-35s, so they could fire at enemy aircraft through datalink.

2:02 1,1 bilion $ for 8 f15ex... Hmmm Greeting from lesti and samsudin

here is were rhe new model f16 comes in to play.

They could’ve at least given the F35 thrust vectoring

Hmmm - People expecting 6th gen pretty soon? Assume first prototype between 2025-2030. First production airframe in 2035-2040. With an average production rate comparable to F-35 of abt. 80 airframes pr. year over the first 10 years (18yr scaling up to135yr). With the aim to replace the F-15 (current inventory 1500 airframes with 460 active) and F-22 fleet (current and presumably active inventory of 182 airframes) you are looking to replace a bare minimum of 642 air superiority fighters. To be generous let´s assume serial production begins in 2035 with 18 airframes build and a yr/yr production increase of 50% , with a peak of 135/yr. That would give you abt. 2035:18, 2036:27, 2037:40, 2038:61, 2039:91, 2040:135, 2041:135, 2042:135 = a total of 642 airframes by 2042 at the very earliest.. So pretty soon, means that in 20 years the fleet will have been replenished to the status quo, with a modernized fleet. - And that´s why the US Air Force is buying F-15EX in the mean time...

Eagle 🦅🦅

1763 F-35s wow. Why all that stealth

Bring back the F22, the best air superiority fighter in the world.

Apples and Oranges, both have their uses.

The US navy has also cut their new orders for the f35 and are buying new f18s.

the dumbest move was ever bulding the junk f35 in the first place. the damn heap of junk should never have even seen the light of day.

Microwave laser canons, and B-61 Thermonukes?

The f-15 E2 has a crazy combat range and is needed for a War in the Pacific. This is why we should have kept the yf-23 going as a strike fighter platform and the f-22 as an air-to-air platform but then we ended up waging ground warfare for the past 20 years. I think the f-15 e2 will be the perfect stop-gap until the gen 6 comes online. I still think it would be smarter to reverse the law and go in with Japan and the UK to take all current f-22's, rip the components out and put them into a new platform with f-35 or b-21 ground attack technology and two f35 engines. That way we just have to offer up the f-22 and have Japan and Uk foot the bill on the new build but it would be a hell of a lot less than them trying to develop from scratch.

I love the f-22, shame it was ended... The f-15EX is a spicy meatball

We need a mix of 5th and 6th generation fighters. We definitely need more F-22s unless the NGAD fighter is very close to being ready. Not every mission needs a 6th generation stealth fighter. After air superiority has been achieved, we need bomb trucks and close air support for our ground troops. F-15s and F-16s along with A-10s are much less expensive to operate per hour than the stealth aircraft. This is one of the major reasons we still have the B-52, flight hour cost along with maintenance downtime per flight hour. The B2 has a very long downtime for maintenance for every hour of flight. I want hour pilots to have the best planes possible but when the enemy doesn't have any planes left in the sky and their SAMS and radar sites have been taken out even our oldest fighters are far more than enough to get the job done.

104 to 0 Edit. They should have mad the YF23 aswell.

They need a missile truck.

F15 strike eagle unbeatable at more than 100 fights

Boeing is the pentagon’s worst enemy. The F-18 E/F Super Hornet, the F-16 Viper, the F-15 EX and the B-52 should not be a thing in the 21s Century. The Air Force should’ve purchased the Northrop, F-23 Black Widow II back in the 1990’s during the ATF competition. The Lockheed, F-22 should’ve gone to the U.S. Navy to replace the aging F-14 Tomcat and they should’ve named the F-22, the Lightning II, just like it’s twin engine P-38 Lightning predecessor of WWII. The Navy’s F-18 Super Hornet E/F variants should’ve never been allowed to materialize. The USAF, the USMC and the USN, should all be on track to replace their lower tier F-16 Falcons, AV-8B Harriers and F-18 A/B, C/D Hornets, respectively, with the Lockheed, F-35 JSF, A, B and C variants. And the F-35 should’ve been the one named the Raptor! Also. In addition to retiring the Boeing, B-52 Stratofortress, the USAF should’ve purchased more Rockwell, B-1 Lancers, which are stealthier, faster and can carry a larger payload than the B-52. Also. More Northrop, B-2 Spirits, would’ve been nice, to be escorted by F-23 Black Widow II, stealth fighters, for deep penetration into enemy territory. But every time I see some of these frivolous acquisitions and poor pentagon decisions, Boeing always seems to be behind it. Boeing is just in it to make money and keep the assembly lines of their 3rd, 4th generation dinosaurs alive and well. Instead of stepping aside and letting the other more innovative companies give us the BEST 5th, 6th, generation fighters and bombers our tax dollars can buy us. The pentagon and our U.S. congress is guilty of this too.

Boeing demonstrated the Silent Eagle but the DoD still didn't bite. They appear to like the F-15 EX though. The plane has an existing production line and that greatly speeds procurement. The F-35 is a low performance plane and while good for sneaking in the back door, it's not good for down and dirty dog-fighting.

Those who think that the F-22 Raptors can still be built need to get their heads out of the sand. The F-22 production lines and tools were destroyed/replaced to be able to build the F-35s and they can no longer be reestablished anymore. No new F-22s will ever be built. So in order to maintain the existing fleets of F-15s across the globe, the F-15EX should be ordered because it can still be used in rear-area air superiority (defensive) roles and stand-off munitions delivery missions while being led into combat by stealthy F-35s that have smart targeting and battlespace control capability. The F-35s leading a pack of F-15EXs ("bomb trucks") will be able to overwhelm, outfight, outsmart, and outlast any combination of near-peer enemy adversaries (interceptors, attack bombers, helicopters, or air defense) than just a pure F-35 or pure F-15EX sortie.

Sounds like the Air Force has no clue what it wants or needs, it obviously needs money but seems strange considering that's what the Air Force is supposed to be all about, aircraft. According to the Pentagon the F15 actually costs more not less per hour to operate, the data is public. They figured the EX would cost over $700k a year more per plane to operate compared to the F35 and the EX's actual cost is $136 million per copy, seems like a lot for a 50 year old design. The Air Force would have been better off to order a few more F22's, more expensive but you'd need fewer of them but that can't be done because the Air Force ordered the dismantling of that line.

Still would prefer Canada to buy the F-15 or even the F-18. Our pilots should have two engines for our vast northern regions. Also the flight hour cost is lower on both those vs the F-35.

Philippine should buy this rather than f16 👌

My bet is on F-15ex . Placing all our western eggs in one basket (F-35) is a mistake. It’s unproven, expensive and riddled with flaws.

As a purely defensive weapon, the F15 is a masterpiece, even in todays world. But it doesn't really fit with US combat doctrine which is the single most important driving factor for where military investment will go in the future for all nations on the planet. The US Navy has a range problem, China develops long range precision anti ship missals, putting newer F35's farther away making stealth even more important. Beyond drone systems, the US doesn't need an expensive and visible defensive fighter. Every enemy the US might have, is already forced to contend with the US on their doorstep, not from across the planet. If the US wants to maintain that position, a defensive fighter isn't the way to go. Further expenditure in range plus stealth/speed is needed. Anything not serving the stealth capability, is a waste of money unless it's short term and ultimately facilitates stealth in the end.

2000 f 35's that is a lot.

I really wish The F-15EX would have incorporated Thrust Vectoring of F-15STOL/MTD aka F-15 ACTIVE Plus features of The F-15SE Silent Eagle! That'd be one amazing combination = almost F-22 ;) 👍

What few F-15EX we do get will go to ANG Units not USAF Units! (Speaks volumes)

Upgrade f15 to the f15ex with stealth material and close bay and then yu can us the ex for light stealth or be an air superior that can diff dogfight and go if pilot needs to. And update the aviation system. To communicate with the F 35. If they can’t f35s can fly with the f15 to relay info before they reach the silent zone or yu an fight the f15 a long range missile that can hit begging the silent zonemv Because the F-15 E is the light years . ahead of other country Best jets. 8:01

Only 100 why bother

F-15EX More Bang for the $Buck$.

The F-35 is a multi-role aircraft.

because the states own the number one and number 2 fighter .

機体同士の世代間が開いてるだけあって、相当見た目が違うな～

Air to Air only? You sure

Agree with Kevin build more f22 great plane find a way to make it affordable!

Even the single engine Israeli F-16s are much better.

Congress is willing to pay for 5ex.
