The F-15 Silent Eagle (F-15SE), first flown in 2010, was Boeing's attempt to upgrade the fourth-generation F-15 with stealth capabilities to compete with Lockheed Martin's F-35 Lightning II.

In service since 1974, the F-15 has reliably been part of the U.S. military and its allies for decades and still has a place in the modern air force.

While the Global Strike Eagle may seem crazy, the impetus behind it and the approach it takes to deploying payloads aren’t really all that crazy at all.

National Interest’s Dave Majumdar has written an  excellent analysis of how the two aircraft would fare in aerial clash.

Here, I’d like to break down the strengths and weaknesses of the two aircraft, and how those will inform their ...
