OPINION: F-15EX sticks it to China and means Xi's militarism now being matched with new US weaponry
You can now listen to Fox News articles!, if Xi Jinping is foolish enough to try a military attack anywhere in the Pacific. that the F-15EX Eagle II fighter completed tests out over the Gulf of Mexico, demonstrating that it can carry up to 12 air-to-air missiles under its wings at one time. That’s a record no other Air Force plane can match.
Last week, the Air Force confirmed that the F-15EX Eagle II fighter completed tests out over the Gulf of Mexico. The original F-15 first flew in 1972 and is still the last word in cool. In air combat, F-15s have a spotless record of 104 to zero, if you include Israeli and American kills against enemy fighters over the years. The ground-attack variant F-15E Strike Eagles have piled up combat successes over Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria and more.By the way, I flew in the backseat of an F-15D for an hour of simulated dogfighting off Guam a while back, and let me tell you, the jet is indescribable.
