Boeing s F-15EX: The Newest, Best F-15s Out There
One interesting question would be to see how an F-15EX performs in wargames or mock combat exercises against a Russian or Chinese-like 5th-Gen aircraft.
Here s What You Need To Remember: The F-15EX isn t a fifth-generation fighter. Nor is it trying to be one - it s an affordable fourth-generation fighter with reliable technology and a (comparatively) lower price tag.
Firing Hypersonic weapons, flying at supersonic speeds of Mach 2.5, jamming enemy fighter communications, flying semi-autonomously and performing 87 billion computer functions per second are all attributes reported to be achievable by the emerging U.S. Air Force F-15EX plane, built by Boeing.
The rapid growth of the China s expansionist Naval ambition continues.
Here s What You Need to Know: The carrier will be homeported in the South China Sea, a move which may resonate as somewhat provocative to the United States.
China’s first home-built carrier will soon fire weapons, launch fighter jets and coordinate with other surface warships in the South China Sea on a high-profile deployment, a moving signaling the rapid growth of the countries’ expansionist Naval ambition to project greater amounts of global power.
The Shandong, China’s first indigenous carrier, has deployed on its “third voyage” of the year, according to a Chinese government-backed Global Times newspaper, which is reporting that the carrier “could return to the South China Sea, where its homeport is located.”
