The F-15EX Eagle II Soaring High After Weapons System Evaluation – Earlier this month, the United States Air Force Operational Test and Evaluation Center Detachment 6 team members participated in two of the first developmental and operational test missile shots from the Boeing F-15EX. For the exercise, Engineers and analysts from the AFOTEC Detachment 6 F-15 division traveled to Eglin Air Force Base (AFB) and Tyndall AFB, both in Florida, to draw results from the AIM-120D and AIM-120C3 missile shots performed as part of the Weapons System Evaluation Program (WSEP) conducted by Eglin’s 53rd Wing.
These missile shots highlighted how the F-15EX can be employed in theater and provided the context needed for Detachment 6 to verify its combat capability.

Glad your back.
I hear the F-15EXXX is obscenely sexy!!!
Welcome back, whyilovetexas111 - congratulations for beating the cancer!!!
Because it works better then their F35, and it always will.
F-1SEX - what the freak is that?
Let’s see, a bomb and missile truck that can turn and burn and haul ass.
Yea, I can’t imagine any use for that either. 🙄
Woo Hoo! Welcome back and congratulations!
When a Mommy Eagle and a Daddy Eagle love each other very much...
Congratulations on beating cancer! That’s a hell of a lot better news than any stuff about a fighter!
For your evaluation -
It’s good that there are enough adults in the airplane room to realize the benefit of sticking with something that WORKS. The B-52 and the albacore hull submarine are great examples of stuff that have shown they work.
If it’s not Electric it will be scraped in a few years ,LOL
Take an F-15 Eagle. Keep the FAST packs from the Strike Eagle, upgrade the avionics and engines.
Fit 12 to 20 of the latest AIM-120 and AIM-9 missiles.
Create air combat doctrine to perform the "Itano Circus", "Macross Missle Massacre", or "Roboteching" on enemy aircraft.
Write internet jokes at Russia's and China's expense.
Does that answer your question?
Well said.
What the hell happened to the F-22!!!
Obama destroyed all the tooling.
Yeah, but they should have come up with a better name than F-15EX which takes very little to look like F-1SEX.
Glad you beat the cancer.
“This piece I am posting as I find it funny how we would buy this old plane and waste more money! “
Yeah, why buy some old plane that has never once been beaten in air to air combat? I mean never, not even once.
think deeper.
