the Camo looks just fine why is it ugly!

I just think a desert Camo or Eagle Black (Like the one on USAF F-15Es) looks cooler. Our Camo looks old and worn out.

We already have that on our Tornado and the black looks really ugly! the gray one could be for different environments as A Multirole jet mmm.. maybe yes maybe No!

Sure we have Camo for A2G specialized jets, and our F-15Es are considered Multirole, but I still believe that they should take care of the looks aspect a bit more even if it takes away a little but of practicality, look at Israel, their Camo is very nice looking which gives the impression of technical and technological superiority in their Ra'am even though the F-15SA wipes the floor with it coming and going.

I dont think of its necessity if it really makes a different or not but I would welcome the six color desert Camo just like the one on the Tornado RSAF have now.

Give them black colour by the way @Mosamania is it the new F-15 which Saudi Arabia ordered and by the way you already have around 160 F-15 out of which 70 are simple F-15 others are F-15 Strike Eagle and the 84 which you are buying new are they the latest model F-15 Silent Eagle the stealth one and will those which are simple F-15 will they be upgraded to F-15 Silent eagle this post is also for @Arabian Legend

Now if only the Saudis can train their pilots to fly these birds.

It will make a potent threat to Iran.

we have the money to buy the best birds, and we have the money to train our pilots in best schools. Only take a look at the last 5 years and count how many exercises with real war scenario with french, united states and other advanced nations.

F-15SA Differences From the F-15E

Electronic Warfare: Instead of the TEWS used in the Strike Eagle, the F-15SA will feature a digital electronic warfare system (developed by BAE Systems), dubbed as DEWS. DEWS was developed by leveraging F-22 and F-35 EW program results and replaces 4 legacy systems of the Strike Eagle. It is fully digital (hence its name) and works in close integration with wideband RF systems, including the AN/APG-63(v)3 AESA radar, giving the jet a very sharp edge in the electronic warfare arena.

DEWS offers full quadrant detection and response control, containing aft receiving antennas on top of the tails, aft RF transmitters and antennas built in the tailbooms, forward RF transmitters and antennas built in the leading edge of the wing roots, forward receiving antennas built in the wingtips and a low band Rx knife antenna placed on the underbelly of the jet below the cockpit. DEWS includes a digital RWR, digital jamming transmitter, ICS and an interference cancellation system. According to Boeing, the system will enables the F-15SA to jam enemy radars while its own radar and RWR continues to operate.

Radar: It is arguably the most important difference between the F-15E and F-15SA models. The F-15SA will be equipped with the APG-63(V)3 radar, the newest of the ultramodern AESA line developed by Raytheon.

This is what we need the most.

No silent Eagle yet, although it's very likely to happen.

What is Taxi Test

Taxi is when a plane is just driving in the runway testing its wheels and start up configurations etc.

and is this F-15 Silent egale which Saudi Arabia ordered few years ago ?

Yes That is the F-15SaudiArabia version the one we ordered lately.

Yes 84 F-15SA and that was the first taxi test the other 70 will be upgraded to the SA version. Check My post#2&3 I stated the features of the SA version and how does it differ from the F-15E.

 

[Mosamania]

Taxi test is a first take off test.

Taxi is not take off. Taxi is when a plane is just driving in the runway testing its wheels and start up configurations etc.

yup must be confused with another term.

 

[AUz]

Our pilots ate trained up to NATO standards. And I am not the one saying that, it is Americans and Brits themselves.

LOL! Americans/Brits will obviously gloat for your gullible nation.Afterall, they need money.

Do you actually believe that RSAF's pilots and organizational abilities are as superior as German pilots?

Also, Arabs, specially Saudis, are known for unprofessional attitude. No strict military discipline, people get into military because of their relations to "royal" family and extended royal family...strict military merit is not applied and so on...
