In his opinion, given the extensive experience with the F-15, the Israeli Air Force can effectively integrate the new F-15EX fighters into its arsenal. These aircraft, with their versatile capabilities, will be an important complement to the F-35.
The F-15EX Eagle II is the latest and most advanced evolution of the F-15E Strike Eagle, delivering superior combat performance as a fighter and attack aircraft. Boeing emphasizes that the F-15EX is combat-ready immediately upon delivery and represents a reliable solution for modernizing tactical aviation. The F-15EX, with its low operating costs, high payload and long range, is an ideal choice for the Israeli Air Force.
The Israeli Air Force and the F-15 fighter jets, nicknamed “Ra’am” (Thunder), have a long history of cooperation dating back to 1977. Israel currently has 58 F-15 aircraft with various modifications, including the F-15I and the F-15C. Israeli pilots were the first to use the F-15 in combat, demonstrating outstanding performance in aerial combat.
And the pair of fighter jets, the F-15EX and F-35, are especially effective given that Israel’s adversaries, such as Iran and Syria, do not have fifth-generation aircraft. The tactical synergy between the F-15EX and the F-35 allows Israel to maintain air superiority and improve its combat capabilities in the Middle East. Thus, according to the expert, investing in the F-15EX is justified and justified, given the historical performance and reliability of these aircraft.
Recall that Cursor wrote that in an interview with the Saudi television channel Al Hadath, international relations researcher Mario Abu Zeid said that Iran, despite the rhetoric and threats, is not planning an attack against Israel in the near future. According to the expert, the statements by the Iranian authorities are more rhetorical and aim to contain Israeli actions than to prepare a real military response.
