Wouldn't F-15SE Silent Eagles make more sense?

[joegoeny]

The f15 stealth eagle is indeed the American equivalent of the Russian sukhoi if you could mount vector thrust supercruise engines on it. It shares equipment with f15s from Japan South Korea Saudi Arabia Israel and the USA. The stealth eagle is a twin engine long range fighter-bomber just what Australia needs. The question is it going to be open sourced like the flanker or proprietary like the f22 or f35.
