Falcon powers – Israel has offered the F-15 EX fighter jet to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for purchase. Israeli sources have stated that Saudi Arabia is interested in two key advantages of their fighter aircraft: the ability to carry a maximum amount of weapons and the capability for sustained operations over a long period.
Hebrew sources reported that the F-15 EX is competing in Saudi Arabia against two European manufacturers: the Dassault Rafale and the Eurofighter Typhoon.
The sources also indicated that the Royal Saudi Air Force currently possesses 84 F-15SA jets, which is the most advanced variant until the introduction of the EX model. Additionally, they have 68 F-15S jets, an older variant that has been upgraded in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
