History and Specifications:
Enhancing operational capabilities of the F-15 Eagle platform, Boeing’s F-15EX program was officially approved in early-2024, with the first unit delivered later that year on June 5th. Boasting more than double the weapons capacity of F-15C units, EX aircraft carry more payload than any other fighter in the world. Integrating advanced electronic warfare components, APG-82 Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radar unit, and dual-seat cockpit for increase awareness, the F-15EX can be tailored to numerous combat situations. As of 2025, 9 units have been produced, 3 of these being combat ready aircraft while the other 6 were test examples. Faced with 129 orders from the United States, Boeing plans to manufacture 24 units per year by 2026, forecasting that their final F-15EX delivery will occur in 2031.
