Yes, the newest F-15s is most impressive. But there isn't any planned future development. All funds are directed towards F-35. All US funds...maybe. There are upgrades programs underway for AESA radar on F-15Cs. Probably other upgrades, too. Plus Macair...oops, Boeing, will put in their own money if a sale looks in the offing. If you are considering F-15K/T against other aircraft, that is definitely not good. No, just a comparison of concerns, not missions. Interestingly models of aircraft operated by the Malaysia and Indonesia did not make it to the shortlist. There are a million ways to interpret this. One of them is to avoid any hesitation by the pilots when going head to head? That's certainly a consideration. Plus the recognition factor when US forces are in the area. USN a/c not likely to fire on an F-15. -- Harry Andreas Engineering raconteur
