Is the U.S. Air Force replacing the F-15 with the F-22?
The F-22 replaces only the F-15C air-combat aircraft, and many F-15Cs will remain in the Air Force to complement the F-22. The U.S. Air Force has no planned replacement for the multi-role F-15E that Boeing continues to produce, and which serves as the baseline for the F-15K. In fact, the Air Force has a defined upgrade program to modernize the F-15E and sustain it as a frontline combat aircraft through 2030 and beyond. The Republic of Korea would have access to U.S. Air Force-developed upgrades for its F-15Ks.
