The F-15 Silent Eagle: An Upgrade in Stealth and Power

Su 35 is better

I can't lie, when I first saw the F-15 as a kid, I already concluded that this would be my most favorite aircraft ever, with the F-18 and F-22 coming in HARD second place. Everything from the design, to the armaments, and its kill to death ratio, just making this Jet fighter seem like one of the best fighters ever made, and we have the Russians, to thanks for it(technically the Soviet Union but whatever)

B and D variants are 2 seater trainers.

¡the Soviet mig 25 fighter pilot Viktor Ivanovich Belenko (15 February 1947 - 24 September 2023) was courageous! - 7:50 pm Pacific Standard Time on Monday, 18 December 2023

a paintjob doesnt make any aircraft stealth when the airfame itself has no stealth characteristics

Digical? Someone has been watching too much VGG lol.

Personally, I think that the F-15E would be far superior to the F Dash 35, because not only would have some stealth ability, but it would also be able to compete in a dogfight.

50yrs and it still looks great.

I have to ask: does it matter how large a radar cross-section is as long as the radar can tell it's big enough to be a plane? I'm honestly not sure whether radar finds it easier to detect objects with a larger radar cross-section (but not larger physical size) from further away, but even that question doesn't change the fundamental context. The reality is that as long as your plane's cross-section doesn't fit below that radar threshold for stealth - where the radar can't tell if an object is a plane or not - then it doesn't count as stealth anyway, and it doesn't matter how large the cross-section is (well, at least as long as it's not ridiculously large - there might be a limit determined by the detection capacity of radar).

But what cross-section size would all these stealthy improvements have gained the silent eagle? It's not mentioned. Makes it hard to say whether it was a good idea.

The problem with relying on paint to almost completely improve a craft's stealthiness is that it is really expensive (well, last time I heard, but my info could be out of date), and there has to be a good reason to use it. If you're going to only improve a craft's radar cross-section from "terrible" to "okay", then what are you really gaining when you could use it to make a different craft with a small cross-section properly "stealth."

Also, sacrificing the fuel tanks sounds possibly problematic, so how much fuel capacity would have been lost and what would the new range have been?

F15murber one!

Imagine being a descendant of that coward victor belenko. forever studied as an example of a yellow. shame to that family

Fantastic scale model in this clip. Where did you get it from?

the F-15 wants to be seen, it wants to hear the fear of the other pilots, it's hunger for fear

You cannot make a F-15 have stealth, it is not possible because it wasn't properly designed for that. So this title is clickbait.

The F-15, Is Literally An Example For...
"Legends Never Dies"

The F-15 was made in the 60s not the 80s, bud. It was "introduced" in the late 70s

i cant think of anything more terrifying than a stealth f-15...

If the su 57 is not stealth than this sure as hell ain’t

We need 200 in inventory right now.

Its a shame they didnt do this to the f-14

Could it be Faster or Slower than the Previous F-15?

Can you make a Video about the Tornado?

They are so powerful this fighters jets I wil like to have it for protection

Trying to make the f15 a stealth fighter is like putting supressors on a minigun and call it a day

... And then Boeing went out with that abomination for VTOL competitor to F-35

“Developed in the 80’s”. Ah….nope…. Not by a long shot. In 1976 we came down from Pruem AS to Bitburg AB, it’s first NATO deployment, to watch a demonstration. “Wow” was all we could say.

It would have been cool to have it

I like this channel cuz it finds the weirdest shit in aviation and tells you about it.
But holy shit do the writers either not know what they're talking about or write for an audience that doesn't know

In the Israeli Air Force the F-15 is upgraded in some versions from late 70s & early 80s will serve till 2040 - 60 years in service.
That means that the F-15 EX could serve till next century!! Which is leading to an extraordinary record of more than 130 years of service!!

the whole intro segment sounded like an F-15 rap

I thought that the counterpart of the F-15 Eagle was the Su-35, not the Su-27.

Nothing can stop the Us Airforce!

With the F22 production closing at just 186 operational fighters, the US could have taken the money set aside for hundreds of F22s they didn't buy and purchase the F15 silent eagle for replace the F15C and D variants

A shame really.

Some of the features of the Silent Eagle like the canted tails might have gave the F-15EX improved maneuverability, range and loiter time.

No such thing as a silent eagle. They fly over my house every day when landing and taking off and they are loud

The RCS is still too large to stealth aircraft.

Its sad that they are using these incredible jets for wrong battles

This is what Canada should have bought

F35 stealth suddently mig30 flying next chasing f35..😂😂😂

Step 1. Take something good
Step 2. Make it even BETTER

F-15 copied the mig-25

Iam releafed

they should have made this instead of f15 ex

the F15 in the beginning of the video. We'll all from a movie called operation red flag it's a very good watch would recommend

Fuck the F-15, long live the F-22, the TRUE king of the skies! Even the F-35 is WAY superior to the aging F-15, no matter how many forced jury-rig "upgrades" they try to improvise.
Why the military keeps the F-15 in life support to prolong its life a bit while they cancel the ñeoduction of F-22s was a stupid motherfucking decision.

The stealth variant of the F15 is.... the F35

Russia and India are researching building an upgraded Su-35 with stealth technology, just like the F-15 Silent Eagle.

F15 most flying in USA airspace, they no need to be stealth
