February 11, 201214 yr Quoted from Wikipedia... F-15S The F-15S is a variant of the F-15E supplied to the Royal Saudi Air Force in the mid-to-late 1990s. Saudi Arabia had previously wanted the F-15F, a proposed single-seat Strike Eagle. Saudi Arabia sought to order 24 F-15Fs, but was blocked by U.S. Congress.[82] The F-15S is almost identical to the USAF F-15E and the only major difference in the AN/APG-70 radar performance is the synthetic aperture mode.[65] The version was initially referred to as F-15XP.[82] 72 were built from 1996 to 1998.[65] In October 2007, GE announced a contract with Saudi Arabia for 65 GE F110-GE-129C engines for the F-15S in a contract worth over US$300 million.[83] F-15SA is a new version for the Saudi Arabian Air Force. On 29 December 2011, the United States signed a $29.4 billion contract to sell 84 F-15s in the SA (Saudi Advanced) configuration. The sale includes upgrades for the older F-15Ss up to the SA standard and related equipment and services.[84] ANW HUD 4 v 1.1 b7
