Indeed. While, arguably, what Israel fought against weren't the top militaries that posessed advanced electronic warfare capabilities, but at least they still know what they're doing and that their EW stuffs are among the best in the business.

That's why I still think it's a good thing if we can get the F-15EXI even without EPAWSS - that is, as long as our top officials understand to also acquire suitable replacement in its place at the same time.

In short, no more FBNW!
you mean buy it with DEWS instead of EPAWSS???
or buy EPAWSS later when they allowed / ready to export it??

epawss is the core technology and it's what distinguish an f15ex from its predecessor. buying f15ex without epawss is not buying f15ex, what you get is walmart version of f15ex

Buy it with other alternative(s) in place of EPAWSS if the US still won't allow us to have it.

If and when they eventually allow us to have it, then we can choose whether to stay with our customized F-15EXI EW suite or to change it back to the US standard.

Of course, all of this means nothing if we can get the full package from the start.

So if there's no EPAWSS, no F-15EX for us, is that what you're saying?

Oh well, even the "walmart" version is still an improvement especially for us considering that we intend to buy 36 of them. Besides, as I have already written in my other posts, it's not as if we're left without other choices.

Especially in this case, try to look at bigger picture rather than stuck with the unavailability of one thing even if it's a 'core technology' like what you've written.

between F15EX downgrade or secondhand F15 with steroid
cause they said EPAWSS is a no no for TNI

let's just hope that they want to change their decision
an Original F15EX

Well, if somehow we failed to have F-15EX, at the very least the Qatari version is the next best version of the F-15.

Although it seems unlikely considering that the F-15E production lines are now gearing up to the EX version - or so I think.
Boeing only build new F-15EX no other variant

Yes. might as well designated it as F15id like we did to that crappy F16id. i don't get people obsession with downgraded stuff. sure it's improvement to have f-15QA with DEWS but it's just that, an F-15QA not F-15EX. remember what we buy today has to be future proof because we are not rich country with massive budget for military. we need to learn from the past. try not to always acquire shitty stuff.

Anyway, slightly OOT. This is a very interesting documentary film of USAAF Red Flag exercise, featuring F-15C courtesy of Boeing-not-going. Watch it while it available for FREE. Youtube do change their FREE contents periodically.

Long Range SAM. Why the F... do we need Long Range SAM for❓ What system planned to be procured, the S-400 maybe❓ There is little tactical sense in using Long Range SAM other than for terminal phase BMD role.
