Die USAF hat die nächsten Chargen F-15EX bestellt:
"The $3.9 billion contract covers 48 aircraft in Lots 2 through 4, bringing total USAF commitments for the F-15EX to 56. The previously agreed Lot 1 contract from 2020 covered eight jets, including the two test aircraft already delivered to the air force."
Besonders interessant im Artikel sind die (Fly-Away-)Preise, die die USAF für F-15 und F-35 zahlt:
"Under the recent contract, the USAF will pay $90 million for each F-15EX in production Lot 2, with the cost spiking to $97 million each in Lot 3 before sliding back to $94 million in Lot 4. [...] The three rounds of production collectively cover the 48 aircraft, plus major items such as combat radars, the BAE Eagle Passive Warning Survivability electronic warfare system and the two GE Aerospace F110-129 engines that power each jet."
By contrast, the USAF will pay an average of $82.5 million for each F-35A under the latest production contract negotiated between Lockheed and the Pentagon’s multi-service F-35 procurement office. That deal, valued at $30 billion, covers 398 F-35s produced under Lots 15 through 17. The more-complex F-35B short take-off and vertical landing variant, as well as the US Navy’s carrier-capable F-35Cs, are priced at $109 million and $102 million each respectively, according to the Pentagon."
Und zu den Gesamtzahlen:
"While the USAF now plans to acquire up to 104 F-15EXs, that number has fluctuated in recent years. The service originally planned to buy 144 of the fighters, but at one point cut the number to as few as 80 aircraft before settling on the current figure."
