Saudi Arabia will upgrade the F-15S fighter jets

Saudi aircraft repair state-owned enterprise Alsalam Aerospace Industries (AAI) received a contract to upgrade six F-15S fighters to the F-15SA variant, reports bmpd.

These will be the first 6 upgraded aircraft - something like a test batch. In total, AAI plans to upgrade the 66 fighter aircraft. Work will be carried out with the assistance of specialists from Boeing.

The resource reminds that under the contract from 2011, Saudi Arabia is to receive from the USA 84 multi-role fighter F-15SA, as well as the necessary weapons and equipment for upgrading the existing F-15S aircraft in the kingdom. The total amount of the transaction was $ 29,4 billion.

However, the implementation of the contract was delayed for political and technical reasons. As a result, the delivery of the F-15SA began only in the 2016 year (more than 2 year late). To date, the Saudis have received only 41 fighter new construction. And before the serial upgrade of the existing F-15S to the F-15SA variant, it came just now.

According to the resource, the F-15SA fighter, including one equipped with an on-board radar with an AFAR, a defense complex from BAE Systems, target targeting containers, navigation equipment, and an integrated electron-optical system.

They are superior to Israel in terms of equipment and strength (while we do not consider the F-35), in terms of efficiency and quality of PSUs, which are no good air force

So that's the point ... But on strike aircraft (I take the F-15 and Su-34), we have not overtaken them very much, just a little bit for now ...

F-15SA aircraft is equipped with:
1. Onboard radar Raytheon AN / APG-63 (V) 3 with AFAR.
2. Onboard defense complex BAE Systems DEWS
3. Lockheed Martin AN / AAQ-33 Sniper hanging targeting containers and Lockheed Martin Tiger Eyes navigation containers.
4. The integrated electron-optical Lockheed Martin AN / AAS-42 system.
And this you call ... "we overtook them"?

[MPN]

I did not compare the characteristics, but cited quantitatively the planes performing the same tasks. Based on your data, you can argue endlessly ...

[Zaurbek]

In terms of range and load and maneuverability, the F-35 is also superior .... In fact, only in stealth capabilities are inferior.

"gaskets" then who upgrades? if anything, then Israel as a mixer will grind the Arabs ...

They are taught there .. and the SA does not border on Israel, and such a raid as in Iraq does not work.

They are more likely to fly to Iran to grind than to rush to Israel. Because they have a common ally of the United States and there is no reason to be particularly hostile.

It is possible, although the level of Saudi pilots is not known to me.

[Magic archer]

It’s strange, why didn’t anyone become interested in the Silent needle? ... Of all the F-15 upgrades, it is the most advanced. Or is the price scary? Although the Saudis are guys with the dough ...

[Zaurbek]

Everyone who could pay the money and is close to the United States (they won’t sell it to others) bought the F-15 ..... and who is worse than the F-35 with AFAR.

It seems that the Americans sold it to us. Therefore, the third F-35 squadron can only be purchased at the end of the next decade.

[Zaurbek]

There is the same reason that we have with the Su35S ... A heavy universal fighter on which you can install anything ... with a long range. Early they still retired

Interestingly, in Saudi Arabia, alcohol and Sharia are completely banned.

And the plane is full of alcohol)))

[novel66]

replaced with something

[marshes]

According to Sharia, wine is forbidden to drink.

[Sands Careers General]

Really? But as far as I know, in CA is a complete dry law. And here in the airplanes alcohol even pour in))
Although, in American aircraft, there may be some kind of chemistry instead of alcohol.

This is a joke, because it’s not a fact that they can even use it in the evenings, it’s like early cognacs were poured from teapots in teahouses.

[Zaurbek]

They travel to the UAE, Turkey and light up there. There is even a service that controls their behavior.

[Sands Careers General]

Alcotours?)))

I remember how my father told me, we received permission back in Soviet times to go to Turkey, so naturally we brought vodka to trade with the locals. We came to a local drinking establishment, and there they say, there are no boring things, no alcohol, they are sitting drinking tea and are sadly cut into backgammon.
They treated them with alcohol, when they saw Russian vodka, the Turks naturally drooled, as the children rode))

Have you ever traveled to Turkey? There is any choice for the taste of alcohol, of course it’s more expensive. And there is quite a strong crawfish, aniseed but for lovers. Although you can swell or oversleep in a drunken stupor, I dabble in it only with beer. Wine is an allergy.

[Sands Careers General]

Yes, it was there. Looks like there is no strong alcohol everywhere. They brought me several turb blocks, in the 80s it was a terrible shortage))
Anyway, a lot of things were brought.

[marshes]

I started to ride only in the late 90s, now I have temporarily stopped, my parents are old. But damn it, rest is cheaper than here in Kazakhstan !!!

[Sands Careers General]

Dumping in Turkish))

Dumping in Turkish))

No, it’s seriously cheap there, we have the whole business on loans at crazy interest and short money, so the prices go up to beat it off. They look like the future there. In the United States, there was something that even surprised me there. Yes, in Germany, yes it’s more expensive there, but in the Czech Republic Karlovy Vary heal the stomach like we have in Sary Agache. But the service can’t be compared. I don’t know what Truskavets or Esentuki I’ve never been there.

[nathanael]

This is exactly nothing is written about vodka in the Qur'an ... Only about grape wine ...

[nathanael]

Yes, not really ... You can always tweak it with a mullah on this topic and he will give permission for use, though it’s not up to a pig screech ...

What do you think, at the expense of fire water, someone will consult with a mullah It was not the Father who took and forgave ... sins. It’s probably that he himself is a sinner , on holidays and not in fasting.
It’s harder with the mullah, although in Kyrgyzstan they managed to give them a drink, though the initiators of the whole action are now under investigation.
Who is sinless now?

[Nikolai Petrov]

One headline has already intrigued "Saudi Arabia will modernize the aircraft." Well, I don’t know, I don’t know, maybe they came up with a new saddle for a camel. Well, you can't jam him on a plane. Although the east is a delicate matter.

Because up to 50-60 years they were colonies of the progressive world. Accordingly, they could not develop education. But the Turks, for example, are very progressive, Indonesia.

Not certainly in that way. Where necessary, they do everything themselves. Maintenance and modernization of modern fighters is not a bunch of raisins, as you know.

PS change your nickname from Bagration. Dirty Hero of the Patriotic War. Especially to you. You have nothing to do with it.

[Roman777]

In addition to Merkava, there is much more. The best drones for today

[Nikolai Petrov]

This is not from the opera about "the most super-pilot" that your sworn friend Iran planted at his airport in December 2011? By the way, why did you stop launching your superfood towards Iran?
Yes, I know, you can not answer, the Persians stopped shooting down them from December 11. Just put on their site. That’s the whole story. So do not make noise, dear.

Well no. He just soberly looks at things, for which he has respect. And you recorded Markeva in a motorbike for children and enjoy your own stupidity.
Well, if Israel doesn’t have anything, and you are so advanced, then what, I’m so sick, you buy patents in Israel for drones, water treatment plants, medical equipment, medicines .. the list is very long by the way. And I don’t remember something, that Israel would buy something of a similar level from you. And you even buy potatoes from a country in which the population is slightly more than 8 million with an area of ​​20 minutes in width and 12 hours in length by car.
