Still, operated by US instructors, made in US, designed by US company for a country with strong military ties to the US
It operated by Singaporeans pilots not us instructor, a strike eagle design for singapore needs and a jet belong to the Republic of singapore air force
They just literally there to train that about it
It is jointly led by US and Singapore officers, and ofc F-15SG are operated by US instructors, how else did they learn how to fly the American jet?
That has a Singaporean roundel on it
It also has US squadron emblem from 1954, and USAF tail markings
But I don’t see how the US training them leads to you saying it should be in the US tree, again, there are enough F-15s to share, you don’t need all of them, and you won’t get all of them

There are their to train with them but at the end of the day it the Singaporeans who the one piloting it, there literally videos about it. Also about marking since they in America territory they have to American marking (it will make no sense to have Singaporean marking where to not even in singapore)
you guys can argue over spilt milk lol

It’s a very American stance to take, pure self interest with no real regard for others, it’s kind of depressing that so many people are like that

The F-15SG is as much as a sidegrade as the F-15K or F-15I, because SLAM-ERs would probably never appear in WT. This is like spilling milk instead of giving them to the trees - probably Japan in this case - that actually need it.

I just looked onto my list, and there is an report from the old forum, better to make an new one on the new Report Page?

Yeah, though the F-15SG has the slightly more powerfull on afterburner GE engines and AESA radar.
But even then, an F-15SR could put that in the US tree as well. The only downside being the lack of JSOW (if they are added), which US F-15Es are already able to carry anyways assuming Gaijin doesn’t do any stupid decisions there. That being said, the SR carries SLAM-ER that the SG doesn’t.
Spoiler
F-15SR, there’s at least two but it’s hard to tell them apart from the F-15SA
US F-15E testing JSOW

Isn’t the issue with JSOW just that the USAF stopped buying them, not that the more modern aircraft can’t use them? Because for Gaijin rules that can be enough, if the aircraft is compatible and the country has them in stockpile, like the Mavericks on the F-15I?

They are part of a USAF squadron though. So technically it sort of is operated by the USAF, which is textbook justification to add to a tree

So long as it doesn’t take away from Japan potentially getting the F-15SG it doesn’t really matter, but chances are it will
Does the SR have the Tiger Eye IRST pod though?

It should, considering the SA has it and the SR is supposed to be equipped to similar standard. But I’ll see if I can find anything specific on it.
Update:
At least from what I could find, the F-15SRs would be equipped to F-15SA standard, just on converted F-15S airframes rather than being newly built Advanced Eagles. This includes equipment like the AN/APG-63(V)3 AESA radar, Tiger Eye IRST, F110-GE-129 engines and weapons integration like the SLAM-ER, but seemingly no additional wing pylons. At least two are already converted to SR standard, but all 66 F-15S seem to be planned.

Tiger Eye IRST under F-15SA (couldn’t find a clear enough image of a confirmed F-15SR)
