The initial ordering period runs through the end of August 2031 and can be extended through August 2036. The structure allows the United States and international customers to place orders for new aircraft or upgrades to F-15s already in service.
Current operators eligible to use the framework include Israel, Japan, Saudi Arabia, Singapore and South Korea. The Department of War also identified Indonesia and Poland as prospective F-15 customers.
Indonesia has discussed buying as many as 36 F-15EX fighters under the F-15IDN designation. Several letters of intent and political declarations have been issued, but a government-to-government Letter of Offer and Acceptance has not been approved.
Poland has been cited for several years as a potential customer for 36 aircraft that would expand the capabilities of its Air Force. Warsaw has not made an official commitment, while the State Department has not announced approval of a possible Polish request.
For the United States, decisions taken this year have opened the way for F-15EX procurement beyond the previously planned fleet of about 100 aircraft. Additional fighters are intended to replace aging F-15E Strike Eagles and help preserve the U.S. Air Force’s strike capacity.
Boeing already holds a production contract to supply F-15EX Eagle II aircraft to Israel. The company continues to market the fighter to other current operators, including Saudi Arabia.
