The F-15EX Eagle II combines the Eagle airframe’s external stores capacity with digital flight controls, an electronically scanned radar and modern electronic warfare. It is a distinct production configuration; earlier F-15C/D and F-15E fleets should not be counted as F-15EX aircraft.

The system in detail
The F-15EX Eagle II combines the Eagle airframe’s external stores capacity with digital flight controls, an electronically scanned radar and modern electronic warfare. It is a distinct production configuration; earlier F-15C/D and F-15E fleets should not be counted as F-15EX aircraft.
