Due to its huge RCS, it's not able to close into NEZ parameters with those in most cases though. It would need a new Long Range BVRAAM that only fits on the inboard wing hardpoints and centerline, which would get initial targeting cues from F-22A or F-35s.

It’ll be a long range fighter because of the avionics and radar however, that maneuverability and AOA is for it to defend it self and fight its way out.

@@trevorthomas1620 Nobody is going into any engagement distances where AOA and nose authority mean anything. Not in the 3rd era of helmet-cued missiles as a last-ditch after 60 years of development in BVRAAMs and Fire Control Radars, now assisted with networked targeting webs shared by who has the better data links and EW game. Everybody with an even 1990s-class Radar will see the F-15 from hundreds of km out, so the BVR skirmish will begin as soon as someone gets WEZ parameters first. That means the F-15 has to stay way outside of its own BVRAAM parameters if any threat fighter is carrying the new class of LR BVRAAMs. If you’re talking about WVR maneuverability, the conversation was already in the wrong place 20 years ago. Python-4, R-73, and AIM-9X are old missiles now. IRIS-T, R-74, Python-5, and AIM-9X Block II make the thought of closing into anywhere near the edge of WVR a really suicidal prospect, and every half-decent nugget knows this out of the gate.

Being maneuverable with a large payload does not equal "relevant in today's battle space".

@@jimbob100-d3l Why? Most of China's fighter aircraft are Gen 4 or 4+. Add in the need to shoot down multiple drones over the battlefield and payload is a really big deal. This old dog still has use.

Not to mention the most capable AESA radar in the skies right now

F-15s always been 9g

It's basically an upgraded F-14D now.

Best 4.5g aircraft is a Rafale, easily superior to this. Its airframe is much more advanced aerodynamically and structurally (70% carbon fiber and other composites),far more agile in conjunction with super efficient engines. It can supercruise more efficiently than Eagle can fly at high subsonic.and do it with 6AA missiles and a drop tank. Its Spectre is an unmatched EW suite on a fighter and almost on par with the Growler.

100%

It is PW F100

@@user-wr8rf7xo6x Normally, most F-15 run PW F100 but GE F110 power the F-15EX, F-15K, F-15SG, F-15SA, and F-15QA

@@user-wr8rf7xo6xThat was the C and D Model. The Advanced Eagle seen here uses the GE F110-GE-129 engines.

​​@@user-wr8rf7xo6x no he's right, those are General Electric F110-GE-129 engines, 29,000 lbs of thrust each, giving it an excellent 58,000 lbs of thrust in full burner, look at the nozzle, the F-110 have the covers or tail feathers as some people call them, the F-100's dont have any of those covers at the nozzles at all

@@Boaris_Johnson Yes you are right. This one is most likely from the Advancet Eagle family. They all seem to fly the F110. According to Wikipedia, there is an even more powerful 132 version with 32500 lbs.

Ditto😁👊🏾

SAME:F-15c Crew Chief 86-95.😊

No problem!

Probably dummy ? Yea the demo team flies over civvies and the airfield with live missiles…..

Same here!!

Technically this is the F-15QA but your statement isn't really wrong.

Let's see it against S-400. It wont be pretty.

@@RKZX2 that’s true and the best SAM sites Russia has.

@@RKZX2 🤣

@@sol2wit781 🤣

Undefeated

Always

Yes! this plane is very difficult to track because it blends with the clouds and on top of that you have the sun in your face

No idea but it was fire

Brand new digital FCS. Its a game changer and allows that F15 to finally use its extreme power and not rip wings off or over stress the air frame.

Tailslide is one of the basic maneuvers flown by new F-15 pilots when learning its flight characteristics and engine performance.

Russians have been doing that for 20 years.

The old c & d’s would chatter like a bitch if you tried that, and departure was imminent.

Highly doubtful. The Namibian Air Force only has 32 aircraft including trainers, transports, and helicopters.

The brand new digital FCS allows it too!

Strike Eagle without CFTs is a rocket ship with insane T/W ratio.

This is the QA not the EX

I believe this is the QA (Qatari Advanced). The EX is an advanced version of the E, with the CFTs and extra fuselage weapons stations like the E, plus additional stations underwing. The one in the video looks more like a C with additional stations underwing, which would be the QA. It lacks the CFTs and fuselage stations that the EX has. The QA is also scheduled at Spirit of St Louis and a few other shows over the summer, but I’m not aware of any EXs doing shows? So yeah I’m pretty sure this is the QA variant, not the EX.

It is actually the Advanced version which is the enhanced E version not the C. About 90% similar to the EX​@@CoffeeMatt10

This demo is mostly a demonstration of the fly-by-wire system and new engines/engine controls. Weight and fuel are minimally changed from the E model.

@@Hyposonic I'm caught up now, thx m8!

New builds.

This is the F-15EX's predecessor the F-15QA.

I'm sorry if you thought the f fifteen was a boring aircraft, then you're too stupid to be here

Couple the EX with its insane radar and the upcoming AIM-260…

I agree totally. Never was a big fan of the 22 or 35.

LockMart screwed the pooch on both programs; still can't believe they were just handed the F-35 contract after muffing so badly on F-22 that it was canceled with less than a third of the intended fleet ever built.

Wow you're dumb

​@@damon9408Then you're simply ignorant and have no idea what those planes are capable of

Taking 12 amraams and still took off in 10 seconds, finished a 360 turn in 20 seconds, performed fast pitching (cobra-like) and tail slides like a boss.

@@yvesdulac1871 LoL...12 CATM-120's is a VERY light load. Doesn't affect the jet at all.

Yeah, but it's a far cry from a clean jet doing all that.

​​@@danielh1708 Loaded with missiles and over 10k pounds of fuel. It's not just about the weight of 12 missiles. It's about the drag it introduces.

@@danielh1708 Doesn't CATM-120 weigh the same as AIM-120? They are both 340 lbs.

Tell me you know nothing without telling me you know nothing

No stealth no DAS its now a plane that flys behind the F-35.

McDonnell Douglas

I agree

Nothing!!!!

What's "insane" about this is that a strike eagle or and eagle cant maneuver like this or do a tail slide. And on top of that its doing all of this WITH 12 AMRAAM missiles on it. The brand new digital FCS on the plane that the eagle and the strike eagle DONT have is a huge game changer and it allows that F15 to finally use its extreme power and not rip wings off or over stress the air frame.

I agree, i wish we heard it without music or narration.
