The
F-15SE "Silent Eagle" is not as stealthy as the F-22 but the amount of iron that a stealth technology-enabled "Mudhen" can deliver on target should give the Norks something to worry about!
If Boeing is able to secure an export license for the F-15SE "Silent Eagle" jet, the company plans to offer it to South Korea and other interested clients.
Boeing and South Korean officials have communicated about a possible deal over the past 12 months, but Boeing has had to wait until the F-15SE's low-observable jet stealth technology is evaluated.
The U.S. contractor believes its fighter jet is ideal because it's customizable and can support larger digital cockpit displays, AESA radar, newer radar absorbent coatings, and other features unavailable in older aircraft.
The expected price tag of the F-15SE is about $100 million, but can changed depending on the technology and hardware installed.
The aircraft is a technological step ahead of U.S. jets in use today (save for the F-22 Raptor), but still doesn't compare to the F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) from Lockheed Martin.
