In the spring of 2026, American aircraft went to war with Iran. Over five weeks, U.S. planes and ships struck more than thirteen thousand targets. Stealth fighters kicked down the door. Strike Eagles pounded the ground. A-10 Warthogs fought a close-in gun battle deep inside enemy territory to rescue a downed crew. And through all of it, the newest, most advanced fighter in the United States Air Force never showed up. Not one sortie. It stayed home — in training squadrons and homeland-defense units, thousands of miles from the shooting. And then something strange happened. In the budget that followed that war, the Air Force didn’t quietly shelve that fighter. It more than doubled the order. From 129 aircraft to 267. Billions of dollars, for a jet that skipped the war, built on a design that first flew in 1972 — older than most of the pilots who will fly it. That sounds like a mistake. It isn’t. It might be the smartest bet the Air Force has made in twenty years, and the war over Iran is precisely the reason why. This is the story of the F-15EX Eagle II — and why the oldest silhouette in the sky just became the most wanted fighter in America.

Great now do one on how big an area the B1 and B52 can hit carpet bombing.😊
Nothing like a BAD title to fuck up the locals. Dane
Strike Eagles are F-15EXs. Old shape with all the new electronics and networked combat computers.
It would be good if the title of this video matched its content! The F-15 and F-16 are very different aircraft
BS- can't event get the model right! I see F 16 EX!
GOOOD blesse USA.
AIBS. Channel banned!
次はA-10EXですね😮
Proofread and have a second person do the same, before you post content…..F-15EX not F-16EX in your title.
Your not up to date. The US did lose one F15 in Iran in 2026.
The editor of this video was asleep. The video title should have been for F-15EX.
MORE F8CKING BULLSHIT AI.
Probably because it’s obvious the F35 can not deliver on the hype …and 75% of them are not fully capable
Error ya fueron derribados varios en Irán
Good design is timeless !!!
使える戦闘機😮
F16 OR F15????
Sometimes you don't need to be invisible. You need to be Really Fast, Long Range, Maneuverable, Pack a Lot of Weapons and be Reliable and Tough. Well, just where can we find something like That?
Right now there only a few F15EX That have been built during the latest shoot out AirForce use the F15E and they now know there is a place for a platform that can load up on lots of air to air and have the range to and. Back with out tankers support
Because stealth is a hassle and 50yr old aircraft are far more consistent
They didint order 267 F-16EX because there isn't such a plane mate…this means this is another crap video and better to block the channel
So much wrong with this video. Absolutely stupid
If you have a title about one plane and then show a different plane how do you expect me to continue viewing your content ?
Call it semantics but regardless if it’s shot down by a plane or by a ground defence missile it has still been shot down
When did they start making an F16 that looks like an F15EX strike eagle ? If you can't get the simplest part of your presentation correct then the entire story falls flat on it's face.
We are running short because Biden was giving it away as fast as he could, remember Afghanistan?
Its almost like Biden was working for our most dangerous enemies!
This AI driven channel is getting worse & worse each passing day…..
Check your numbers, LOL
instant block on ai slop
Garbage AI
Peter, its an F-18EX. The F-16 is a multi- role fighter. Including " Wild Weasel" operations. Using HARM
Radar seeking missles.
Confused, isn’t that a F-15??? Or did they jam another engine in the Falcon…
