The United States began the permanent deployment of new F-15EX aircraft in Japan On November 15, the first two F-15EX Eagle II aircraft, intended for permanent deployment outside the United States, arrived at the US Kadina Air Base (Okinawa prefecture, Japan). In total, Washington plans to deploy 36 such aircraft at the air base, which will enter service with the 44th and 67th Fighter Squadrons of the 18th Air Force Wing of the US Air Force (Kadena Air Force Base, Okinawa Prefecture, Japan). The new fighters will replace the aging F-15C/D Eagle, which began service in November 2022. The aircraft is equipped with a modern radar, electronic warfare systems and is able to carry an increased combat load. @theaterVD.
