IDF Update their F-15 fighter-bomber fleet for 2029.
Starmer and Lammy believed they were or are doing the right thing in support of two-state solution that neither side wants in the Middle-East and these sanctions sad as they are has only lead to Israel upgrading its F-15 fleet, expected to be completed by 2029.
The McDonnel-Douglas F-15 Eagle has now a long service history with the United States Air Force and Israel and remains a very effective long rage capable fighter-bomber!
Conceived in the late 1960's the type was side-lined for the F-4 Phantom, but by the time the Soviets had developed the MiG-25 Foxbat, the treat to NATO had escalated and the F-111 was not able to do what the Russians could, so the F-15 went into serious production, being supplied to Japan and Saudi-Arabia.
With a ceiling of 80,000+ feet she could match the Russians and a speed MACH 2.5 and a radius of 4600 Km it was ideal fro long missions that has suited Israel in the Middle-East region
