Here’s Why The Air Force Is Buying A Bunch Of F-15s Even Though The F-35 Is Coming

The U.S. Air Force will go ahead and buy brand-new F-15s even as it purchases large numbers of the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter. Updated with the latest technology, the F-15X can carry nearly two dozen air-to-air-missiles and will likely work together with stealth jets to take on fleets of enemy fighters.

The F-15X will come in two versions, a single-seat F-15CX and a twin-seat F-15EX. According to Aviation Week & Space Technology, other than crew size the two jets will be identical.
