These planes are realiable and now come packed with better technology and lots more missiles. A late derivative of a mid-1970s platform, Boeing’s F-15EX fighter jet isn’t a particularly innovative product. Why then, is the Air Force buying as many as 144 of these fighters? For one, they can carry loads of missiles. In a move that reportedly surprised even the Air Force, the Defense Department has procured 144 units of the F-15EX, an advanced F-15 variant. The decision was partly spurred by growth and logistics concerns, with Gen. James ‘Mike’ Holmes, head of Air Combat Command, telling reporters that the F-15EX contract is an “affordable” way to meet the Air Force’s target of acquiring seventy-two new aircraft per year. Citing low operating costs as well as the present interoperability between the F-15’s many variants, the F-15EX’s proponents argue that the transition to a new derivative will be smooth and cost-effective.
