I expect the F15SGs which is already a 4.5 Gen aircraft to be upgraded by sometime end 2030 or early 2030. The search for a replacement will begin in the 2030s and a new aircraft will be inducted sometime 2040 (by which time the F15Sgs would be flying for >30 years). Yes, I know SAF graphics show the F15Sgs in 2040 but that is because the Sg hasn't started the process of replacing them yet.
They wont replace them until their airframes are used up, F15 airframes have a lot more max flying hours capable compared to F16s, something like 3X more, it can easily last to 2050 based on SAF flying hours. They can use it as a medium bomber role which is more than enough for Sg.This post has been edited by diffyhelman2: Apr 7 2023, 11:05 PM
