comis based on the F-15SE and incorporates stealth technology, the ability to carry a heavy payload, and a long-range capability
** The new and refurbished F-15 jets will be outfitted with a number of capabilities requested specifically by the Saudi military, Dennis Muilenburg, president and CEO of Boeing's defense, space and security division, told AOL Defense yesterday
Those Saudi-specific amenities include a new digital electronic warfare package, a "fly-by-wire' capability and the next-generation Active Electronically Scanned Array radar, he said. That is the same radar on board the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter.

F-15SA fighter jets that will be delivered to RSAF will be equipped with long-range radars or long-range air-to-air or to air-to-ground missile systems
the F-15SA fighter jet that will enter into service with RSAF will be supplied with medium-range air-to-air missile systems and long-range air-to-ground missile systems.
The same sources mention in this context that the US lobbies that were opposed to equip the aircraft with such systems have now backed off.
