F-15EX Eagle II Delayed

2 sources · first reported 2d ago

The U.S. Air Force's F-15EX Eagle II will reach full operational capability in early 2028, six months later than expected. The delay is due to Boeing production issues. The initial threshold for full operational capability was set for July 2027.

Why it matters

The F-15EX Eagle II is a critical air superiority platform for the U.S. Air Force, and delays in its production and deployment could impact national security and air defense capabilities.
