Not to burst your bubble too @DocUSMC but most of the air-air victories of the F-15 were in the hands of the israelis in their famous ‘turkey shoots’ essentially killing swathes of 2nd and 3rd gen fighters who don’t have ground radio/SAM support and are often sent up simply to distract from bombing runs, they were essentially F-15s downtiered to 9.0

Let me know when the F-15 has more kills than it has crashes. Right now it don’t look so good either…

MSIP II was NOT started in 1984.
MSIP II was around the same time as the first AESAs
Let me know when any other fighter aircraft reaches the flight hour milestones and average fleet age that the F-15 has, while maintaining anywhere close to as low of a mishap rate
Just from a quick Google search it looks like Mirage 2000 has similar number of flight hours between crashes. The F-16 fleet is probably looking just as old.
Modern jets are very safe. And with how much parts get replaced over the years we end up with a “Plane of Thesus” situation anyways.
Bottom line is that DocUSMC is wrong about the MiG-29 and pretty much every single Soviet aircraft.

Instead… Nothing? It simply wasn’t started?
Post the video of the POTUS saying that

You are replying to a bot. He got banned for a while and instantly started posting the most inorganic propaganda a second after being unbanned. This is the most logical answer, even for a usa main that’s next level
F-15C is like THE best fighter in air rb right now simply because it can throw out so many amraams lol, it does NOT need AESA nor should it get one.
Where the hell are the F-2A and XF-2A, anyway? Shoulda already been added instead of the F-16AJ.
