India is offered to buy American F-15EX and use them with Su-30MKI fighters near the Chinese border
India continues to think about which fighters to choose when refitting its fleet. At the moment, 5 Rafale fighters have been purchased from France, deliveries of another 31 Rafale are expected. In addition, the situation with the order of 114 fighters has not been resolved. Among the options under consideration at the moment are the American F-18, the Swedish JAS 39 Gripen, the same French Rafale, as well as the Russian Su-35 and MiG-35.
All interested parties are trying to push India to the "correct" decision, but in New Delhi they took a pause that lasted for years.
TEAT (The EurAsian Times) published an article in which India is invited to supplement the list of fighter "candidates" with another American-made aircraft. This all-weather F-15EX fighter is the latest modification of the F-15 Eagle. The article says that India "in vain refuses to consider the option of purchasing the F-15EX", because "these aircraft are comparable in some characteristics to the fifth generation fighters F-22 and F-35."

The author further writes that the F-15EX does not have stealth technology, unlike the F-22 and F-35, but at the same time "they can help ensure air superiority."
