The Boeing Corporation presented a video from the tests of one of its main innovations — the F-15EX fighter. Soon, this machine will enter the service of the United States Air Force.
Capable of carrying a record number of air — to-air missiles, the F-15EX fighter is undoubtedly one of the most interesting developments of the military-industrial complex in recent years. Now Boeing has presented a new video of the test of this machine.
It is worth saying that earlier we could already see photos of the new car in camouflage for the US Air Force. In this form, the aircraft is easily confused with the long-adopted F-15D fighter-a two-seat combat training vehicle. In addition, the aircraft is structurally similar to the strike F-15E (for the latter, however, the Americans chose a darker camouflage).

The fighter is capable of taking up to 22 two air — to-air missiles. In addition, it can carry a wide arsenal of air-to-surface weapons. The fighter's arsenal may also include hypersonic missiles.
The first F-15EX aircraft of the US Air Force should be received soon. In total, according to previously announced plans, the Air Force can transfer two hundred of these machines.
