What is special about the F-15?
The Eagle’s air superiority is achieved through a mixture of unprecedented maneuverability and acceleration, range, weapons and avionics. It can penetrate enemy defense and outperform and outfight any current enemy aircraft. F-15 Eagle Official reports state it has achieved 104 air-to-air kills with zero losses in dogfights. The US Air Force and the Israeli Air Force are the main users of this jet. It was the first jet able to attack several enemies at once from long distances using advanced radar and missiles.Performance Trade-offs: The F-15 offers superior speed, range, and payload, while the F-16 wins on maneuverability, cost, and ease of maintenance.The F-22 is a superior dog fighter, even though least to my knowledge we don’t have any actual real world combat with it. And while the F-15 is 102 to zero in combat with countries that fly it. Still yet the F-22 beats F-15 every time in simulated combat.The F-35 is the world’s most advanced and lethal fighter jet. The 5th Generation F-35 combines advanced stealth, sensors and information fusion in a supersonic, highly maneuverable fighter.
Is F-15 better than F-16?
Performance Trade-offs: The F-15 offers superior speed, range, and payload, while the F-16 wins on maneuverability, cost, and ease of maintenance. After Sukhoi experimented with various prototypes under the Soviet and then Russian governments, the current Su-35 took shape in the early 2000s as an improved Su-27 with some air-to-ground capability that makes it more like fighter-bombers such as the F-16. The Su-35 simply dwarfs the F-16.The weapons and flight control systems are designed so one person can safely and effectively perform air-to-air combat. The F-15’s superior maneuverability and acceleration are achieved through high engine thrust-to-weight ratio and low wing-loading.Maneuverability: The SU-35 is designed with superior maneuverability in mind, boasting advanced thrust- vectoring nozzles, which allow it to perform extreme maneuvers that the F-15, despite its agility, can’t match.Each of the low-drag conformal fuel tanks that hug the F-15E’s fuselage can carry 750 gallons of fuel. The tanks hold weapons on short pylons rather than conventional weapon racks, reducing drag and further extending the range of the Strike Eagle.
Why is the F-15 so feared?
The F-15 was the first fighter that could attack multiple enemy targets simultaneously from distances of up to 100 miles, using its sophisticated, nose-mounted radar system and advanced air-to-air radar-guided missiles to blow up the bad guys before they even knew what hit them. Hwang fired two AIM-120 missiles in rapid succession from a distance of sixteen miles and achieved the F-15’s first double MiG-29 Fulcrum kill in the same engagement.
What’s faster, F-15 or F22?
It’s depends on how you’re measuring power. The F-15 can carry more and a wider variety of ordinance than the F-22, but the F-22 has more powerful engines. The F-15 has a faster overall intercept speed but the F-22 has a much more powerful radar and combat computer (at least until the F-15EX comes on board). It’s depends on how you’re measuring power.

Only if the pilot is better or luckier. The F-15 has a higher thrust to weight ratio so while the F-16 has a better instantaneous turn rate the F-15 will climb faster and recover speed faster.The F-16 has a maximum speed of about Mach 2 and a service ceiling of 55,000 feet. So, the F-15 is a notably more powerful aircraft than the F-16, with thrust-to-weight ratios of 1. The result is that the F-15 has better acceleration and vertical performance.
