The United States Air Force continues to advance in testing the F-15EX Eagle II, its newest multirole fighter, with evaluation flights recently carried out over the southeast of the country.
The campaign is led by the 96th and 53rd Wings and focuses on analyzing the aircraft’s performance in essential areas such as combat survivability, radar, sensors and integration into military networks.
The main objective of these tests is to prepare the F-15EX for wider operational adoption, as the model was developed to replace the aging F-15C/D. Despite previously conducted exercises, such as the large-scale one in 2025, the Air Force still considers it necessary to refine formal assessments, especially in survivability systems and technological integration.
