36 F-15 Silent Eagle ordered

>>31182447
Neat. Any good writeup on what makes it the SE?

>>31182447
It doesn't mention the Silent Eagle anywhere in that article. It only says F-15s, and as far as I know Qatar has only expressed interest in the F-15E, not the F-15SE.

Gulf Kingdoms reminding everyone that their procurement process consists of OOH SHINY!

>>31182447
>no mention of which F-15 variant is being sold, much less the F-15SE by name
Anon, you do realize the F-15SE isn't even fully developed, right? That there's no possible way they could sell 36 of them for only 4 billion, considering the project would take at least that just to finalize a production design for them, right?

>>31182575
It's especially weird considering they're buying Rafales as well. They'll need to buy both French and American munitions.

Those Houthis will never know what hit them

>>31182497
Qatar wanted to buy and ONLY silent eagles, or else they will go for the Rafale.
And it took very long time because Israel refused this deal, but now it passed.
Money made it possible, and also it saves the F-15 line

>>31182817
They are buying the Rafale though. There's no mention of the Silent Eagle at all. This will almost certainly be a variant of the F-15E, probably along the same lines as the F-15SA.

It was proposed to different countries and ready to made on request.
New stuff :

Pretty much like they did with F-18 super advanced hornet

Surely you can provide a source for this. Because I sure as hell can't find one.

>>31182854
Look you fucking little shit, you have google, look it up.

When I say it's a fucking F-15SE, it's a fucking F-15SE you little twat

Next time, you search yourself.

>>31182882
Your first source only mentions Israel wanting the SE, your second source doesn't mention the SE at all, and your third source only has Israel not wanting Qatar to get the SE. The only formal request Qatar has submitted to the US is for Strike Eagles.

I'm pretty sure the third source is also simply mistaken as well, since it refers to Qatar's request for clearance to buy up to 72 F-15s, but that request was for Strike Eagles not Silent Eagles. It seems like a simple typo.

>It was proposed to different countries and ready to made on request.
No. They built a prototype and a proposal for development, IOC and integration. Which is how the SuperBug worked.

>the SuperBug project cost 48.09 billion dollars total
>superbug flyaway cost was 60.9 million
>500 total built at 30.45 billion dollars
>ancillary project costs were 17.64 billion

Says absolutely nothing about Qatar, only about a possible deal with Israel from almost a year ago that has since fallen through.

SPECIFICALLY FUCKING SAYS MUDHENS, YOU FUCKING RETARD
>Both the Pentagon and State Department have signed off on the separate deals, which would send 36 Boeing F-15E Strike Eagle fighter jets to Qatar

This one is from February, says that Israel opposes the sale of F-15SEs to Qatar, over 70 of them. Qatar has since bought Rafales to fill their air superiority needs.

Go fuck yourself, junior.

Alright, I will wait for Boeing announcement. And if it was F-15SE

I will come to your houses you little brats and I will rape you

Nowhere in the article does it say that the silent eagle is involved.

>>31182447
>I will witness a stealthy F-15 in my lifetime

Wasn't the F-22 supposed to be a stealthy F-15?

I mean sometimes it fell apart like an aging F-15 despite being new

>>31183055
>I mean sometimes it fell apart like an aging F-15 despite being new
For the first 50,000 flight hours, and up to the current lifetime hours, the F-22 was a much more reliable and safe aircraft than the F-15 at equivalent times:
>F-15 at 50,000 flight hours - 7 total Class As, rate of 14 per 100k FH
>F-22 at 50,000 - 4 Class As, rate of 8 per 100k FH

If you're curious, the rest of the copy pasta from another thread:
>Hmmm, F-35 hit 50,000 fleet hours in February, which puts A at 2.00 (1 incident), unknown B, Fatal rate of 0.00, and with first flight close enough to 9 years prior, and ~5,555 hours a year, though that'll change as production and entry to service picks up.
Nice get. Comparing this to:
>F-15 at 50,000 flight hours - 7 total Class As, rate of 14
>F-16 at 50,000 - 14 total Class As, rate of 28
>F-22 at 50,000 - 4 Class As, rate of 8
>A-10 at 50,000 - 7 Class As, rate of 14

The F-35 dev program, testing protocols and LRIP plan starts looking really, really good.
