Fit a MiG 25 with those upgrades(russian upgrades even)..
Give a fictitious non-doppler radar like I was talking about..
Then It'll be a more than a match for the F-22/F-35 even, forget the F-15..

That's again because of the avionics/radar/missiles..
The Aircraft has nothing to do with those..
Those are all modern day innovations.. as new or infact newer then these modern aircraft you're talking about..

At BVR combat it comes down to the modern day trio avionics/radar/missiles..
The weapons platform is of no consequence anymore..
I state again.. "its the modern day tech onboard the F-15 thats enabling comparisions between itself and the modern fighters/tech, not the F-15 platform of 70's vintage.."

They want more F/A-22’s what else are they going to say.
“Yes, senator the F-15 is perfectly capable of performing all of the required air dominance capability that we require. Yes Senator that is correct, it can shot down even the new Russian and export fighters, but we still want more Raptors so if you don't mind can you give us billions for the F/A-22."
C'mon you know that not goings happen.
You have to know the Senators are not stupid and they probably know the capabilities of the Eagles, which is why they are starting to build more Raptors to counter the threat to the F-15s from the Su-30s.

American Intel pentium`s?
what about American AMD Athlon`s?
all built in Taiwan!
then why make an excuse for the F-22,
if the F-15 as you said "is perfectly capable of handling all modern day aircraft"
Hell.. why make the F-22 at all..
I've been seeing the likes of this straw man argument ever since Cope India..

Because the F-15 is 30 years old and its service life hours are running low, you also have to look at whether the F-15 will be able to defeat future threats.
The Raptor is way more capable than the F-15 so the USAF would get a better fighter capable of defeating all current and future threats.
If you look at the facts of what actually happened on that exercise then you will know that the F-15 will perform better against the Su-30 if it was allowed to have all of its latest systems.

And your point is? Do you know how many factories Microsoft has outside the U.S.? Microsoft just uses Taiwanese workers to build their products because its cheaper over there, but it doest men the product is not owned by us.
