The F-15EX Eagle II Proves You Don't 'Need' To Be a Stealth Fighter
Story by Alex Hollings • 2h

What You Need to Know: The U.S. Air Force's F-15EX Eagle II is set to replace the aging F-15C/D fleet, initially tasked with homeland defense, but its role may expand dramatically. Boeing and the Air Force are exploring new uses for the Eagle II, including serving as a drone coordinator for unmanned systems, an electronic warfare platform, and a high-capacity missile truck.


-Additionally, the F-15EX may be developed as a tactical refueling tanker to support forward operations.

-While lacking stealth, the Eagle II’s versatility, payload capacity, and future integration with collaborative combat aircraft (CCA) could make it a pivotal asset in both defense and offensive operations.

The basic airframe has been flying since 1972.

I'm a big fan of the F-15EX!  It's a beautiful, lethal aircraft built on a proven air frame with the latest avionics, weapon systems, and radar.  The USAF should have procured that instead of the F-35.
