Boeing says $2.38 billion contract adds 22 F-15EX fighters, bringing U.S. Air Force orders to 120 aircraft across seven production lots
Boeing received a $2.38 billion US Air Force contract for 22 additional F-15EX Eagle II fighters, raising ordered aircraft to 120 across seven production lots. The modernized Eagle combines high weapons capacity with updated avionics, electronic warfare equipment, and an open mission-systems architecture that can accommodate later upgrades. The award sustains the replacement of aging F-15C/D aircraft, although a complete delivery schedule for the newly contracted lot is not yet public. The larger fleet also makes future software and weapon integration investments more economical across a broader operational inventory.
