Boeing secures $2.38 bn contract for 22 additional F‑15EX fighters
Based on · First reported
Sources
- Boeing received a $2.38 billion contract from the US Air Force for 22 more F‑15EX fighters, designated as Lot 7 of the program, following the delivery of the F‑15EX‑22, the first aircraft of Lot 3.
- Deliveries from the third production lot are scheduled to continue through the end of 2026, and the new contract widens the gap between the total number ordered and the number already delivered, while the Air Force and Boeing aim to raise output to two fighters per month despite recent production delays in the program.
Why it matters
Increasing the production rate and adding 22 aircraft will help the US Air Force close its capability gap and sustain fleet readiness.
