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 unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

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.
