They may have more advanced versions of the F-15 than we do (assuming that's true), but we have the F-22. Why would we get the Saudi/Singapore versions of the F-15 when we have the F-22? To put it another way, what does the upgraded F-15 do that the F-22 can't?

Not sure but it is a growing trend since the F-22 is out of production.

It is a custom version. Some technology is newer. May be not radios but newer technology if our planes are 10 years older.

Pretty cool. Gotta be a rush for the Eagle drivers to intercept these cats.
