    It's Official: The Air Force's New F-15EX Fighter Will Be Called the Eagle II

    The Eagle II can take on many missions that the F-35 is too good for- meaning, it costs a lot of money to maintain so we need to be careful when and how we use them.


    It's Official: The Air Force's New F-15EX Fighter Will Be Called the Eagle II

    The Air Force's new F-15EX fourth-plus generation fighter has been named the Eagle II in a salute to its predecessor, the F-15 Eagle, officials said during an unveiling ceremony Wednesday.

    The announcement was made by Lt. Gen. Mike Loh, Air National Guard director; Lt. Gen. Duke Richardson, military deputy for the Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics; and Leanne Caret, president and chief executive officer of Boeing Defense, Space & Security at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida, where the first F-15EX is undergoing test and evaluation.



    "The arrival of these aircraft is very timely," Loh said during the ceremony. "We must ensure that we have the most capable combat aircraft defending our shores during this time of great power competition."


    Air Force fighters including the F-15, F-16 Fighting Falcon and the F-22 Raptor often are tasked with addressing airspace violations and intercepting aircraft approaching U.S. airspace.

    The F-15EX is the service's first fourth-generation fighter program in more than 20 years.

    Actually it is a 4G+ with its advanced networking capability.
