F-15's Tilting Air Intakes Showcased In Awesome Video
Although the fighter's bobbing external air intakes may seem strange to the uninitiated, they form a critical part of its design.

WASHINGTON, November 19, 2024
The State Department has made a determination approving a possible Foreign Military Sale to the Republic of Korea of F-15K Aircraft Upgrade and related elements of logistics and program support for an estimated cost of $6.2 billion. The Defense Security Cooperation Agency delivered the required certification notifying Congress of this possible sale today.
The Republic of Korea has requested to buy equipment and services to upgrade its F-15K aircraft fleet, including ninety-six (96) Advanced Display Core Processor II (ADCP II) mission system computers; seventy (70) AN/APG-82(v)1 Active Electronically Scanned Arrays (AESA) radars; seventy (70) AN/ALQ-250 Eagle Passive Active Warning Survivability System (EPAWSS) electronic warfare (EW) suites; and seventy (70) AN/AAR-57 Common Missile Warning Systems (CMWS). The following non-MDE items will also be included: Joint Mission Planning Systems (JMPS) with unique planning components; Computer Program Identification Numbers (CPINs); Joint Helmet Mounted Cueing Systems; major modifications and maintenance support; aircraft components, parts, and accessories; spare parts, consumables, accessories, and repair and return support; training aids and devices; weapons software and software support; classified and unclassified software delivery and support; classified and unclassified publications and technical documentation; personnel training and training equipment; aerial refueling support; aircraft ferry and transportation support; facilities and construction support; studies and surveys; U.S. Government and contractor engineering, technical, and logistics support services; and other related elements of logistics and program support. The estimated total cost is $6.2 billion.
This proposed sale will support the foreign policy goals and national security objectives of the United States by improving the security of a major ally that is a force for political stability and economic progress in the Indo-Pacific region.
This proposed sale will improve the Republic of Korea’s capability to meet current and future threats by increasing its critical air defense capability to deter aggression in the region and to ensure interoperability with U.S. forces. The Republic of Korea will have no difficulty absorbing these articles and services into its armed forces.
The proposed sale of this equipment and support will not alter the basic military balance in the region.
The primary contractors will be Boeing Company, based in Arlington, VA; Raytheon Technologies, located in Forest, MS; and BAE Systems, situated in Falls Church, VA. The U. S. Government is not aware of any offset agreements proposed in connection with this potential sale.
Implementation of this proposed sale will not require the assignment of any additional U.S. Government or contractor representatives to the Republic of Korea.
There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a result of this proposed sale.
The description and dollar value are for the highest estimated quantity and dollar value based on initial requirements. Actual dollar value will be lower depending on final requirements, budget authority, and signed sales agreement(s), if and when concluded.

A kép érdekessége, hogy ez egy F-15C, amire felrakták a CFT tartályokat, mégpedig az F-15E, illetve EX-ről.
Ebben az a pláne, hogy CFT tartály volt korábban az USAF F-15C/D gépeihez, de kizárólag csak a keflaviki (Izland) IS farokkódú ezred repült velük, egészen a 90-es évek eleji kivonásukig. Igen, mostanság is voltak F-15C-k Izlandon, de azok a Lakenheath-i gépek voltak.
Namost itt kell megjegyezni, hogy a keflaviki F-15C/D gépek CFT-i nem azonosak az F-15E/EX gépekével, bár teljesen csereszabatosak.
A C/D gépek CFT-i úgynevezett "low drag" kislakításúak, a pilonok kisebbek, a profil is kicsit más. A pilonok elsődorban ugyanis a légiharc rakéták egysoros függesztésére lettek kitalálva, nem a különféle kaliberű bombák páros függesztésére.
Ilyen CFT-i vannak az izraeli F-15C/D gépeknek, de ők ezekkel is hordoznak bombákat, akár nagyobbakat is, igaz, oldalanként csupán egyet-egyet.
Ezeket viszont Izraelben is gyártják.
A fenti képen tehát egy sajátos hibrid megoldás látszik, mivel egy vadász feladatkörű, régi USAF/ANG F-15C hordoz "bombázó", illetve "high drag" CFT-t, de a légiharc rakéták függesztése céljából.
Ezek után adja magát a kérdes, hogy ha már az új F-15EX leendő elsődeges feladatköre pont ezeknek a kiöregedő F-15C/D gépeknek a leváltása lesz, nem lenne-e jobb a "low drag" CFT-ket is visszahozni? Akár az izraeliekkel együttműködve, mondjuk az közeljövő EX-ügylete farvizén?
USAF Should Look At China's Future Multi-Crew Fighter Model For F-15EX

F-15 EW Suite Declared ‘Effective,’ But Full Extent of Capabilities in Combat Less Clear
The EPAWSS electronic warfare suite for the F-15E and EX is operationally effective and suitable, the Pentagon’s chief tester said.
www.airandspaceforces.com
Természetesen nem.
Magát a nagyot durranó kijelentést is vissza kényszerült vonni a Boeing, amit csak egy lelkes, de annál tudatlanabb sajtóreferensük lódított.
Az ok az F-15-ös en bloc típuscsalád révén gyakran emlegetett "Mach 2.5" átkonvertálása során kapott mesés 3000km/h fals visszakonvertálásával kapott Mach 3-ból eredt.
Sajnos azonban se a Mach 3, de még a Mach 2.5 se igaz.

Azért kurva szánalmas az a copium, ami nyugaton megy újabban.
Hogy az EX 5.th gennel felveszi a versenyt... érdekes mikor náluk volt a téren a labda, ment a nyálverés, hogy esélytelen egy ilyen vas, 1:50 meg 1:100 kill ratio bármilyen 4++ gen ellen egy 5.th gennek. Most meg, hogy Kina odaverte őket nehézvadász vonalon (több J-20 van, mint össz F-22) és nem gyártanak rendes légifölény vadászt, csak egy vadászbombázót (F-35), igy hirtelen egy csoffadt 4++ F-15 hozza a szintet... háóógyne.
Konkrétan szánalmas ez a marketingbe burkolt vágyakozás, miközben szépen lassan Kina átugorja az USAF kilátásait. Egy ötvenéves konstrukcióra megy a nyáladzás (merthogy az NGAD megint be lett fékezve, konkrétan az F/A-XX előbb lesz meg), miközben az ellenség ontja a megfelelő mixet (J-20/J-35), illetve a 6.th gen és kézzelfogható távolságban van nekik.
az egyik kecskeméti repülőnapon is bemutatott hasonlót, az állam leesett tőle.
Amit látok az az, hogy az egyik póttartályból végig folyik a kerozin.
