Any reason to believe this or just hoping for it?
Refer to the previous post of warthogboy09. Personally, it’s just hoping for me.

Yeah I want them to maybe even add a further modernized F110 lol.
Imagine 65,000lb total thrust with newer GE-132. Could supercruise for sure with those engines

Looking back in the past, the early batches of F-15E Strike Eagles rolled out with F100-PW-220 engines, while later batches were upgraded to the F100-PW-229s.
You know what they say - history repeats itself. We’ll probably see the same thing happen with the F-15EX when future batches eventually get those GE-132 engines.
Only time will tell, though. Fingers crossed!

Yep. The EX would then be able to supercruise and reach higher altitudes even faster being able to launch 12 AMRAAMs at Mach 1.6 at 10000 meters (this is the parameters i’m able to get with the E before launching my amraams at 50 km’s)
Just like the F/A-18C couldn’t carry the AIM-120B, they gave it to it.
Question, are you able to make a suggestion for the f15 ACTIVE? I’ve put in 2 and they’ve been taken down, the first time I get because I didn’t have links but the second one I put a lot of work into and it still got revoked. I can give you the information I got for it if you’d like for a jump start. It hasn’t been suggested already and I read through the entire list of already suggested aircraft
Yall think that we are going to get unmanned wingmen in wt?
Is it really made?
They do, look at GE-129 IPE
152KN
That’s combined thrust of both engine, without afterburner

It’s possible, and it probably functions similarly to those drones/unmanned wingmen in Ace Combat 7.

AIM-260 news.
And something about an AIM-9X-3 and -4
Boeing photo took in St. Louis
Possible F-15EX with integrated IRST
The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center also hinted that a new AIM-120 variant is in development, possibly named the AIM-120E.
Here’s an edited photo for clear visuals. As you see, this F-15 Advanced Eagle has Missile Approach Warning System sensors:
Personally, I think the IRST thing is going to mount on all Advanced Eagles and export-oriented F-15Es, but I can see it being a retrofit option for all F-15Es and F-15EX in the USAF service if it’s needed in the future.

I hope they are just working on a better MAWS to complement the EPAWSSv2 instead of just not giving the EX MAWS and IRST.
Though I do wonder, is it better to have integrated IRST or podded like with Legion
