The F-15 is the world's greatest fighter. On top of the F-16 which is used by many airforces around the world. Some others use Eagles (Israel of course, USAF, Japan, and S. Korea). The F-15 has more than 100 air to air kills and not 1 has been lost in combat only in accidents. Thats an incredibly high kill ratio! Long live The EAGLE!

haha i bet russian fighter pilots wish they had planes with that kill ratio. take that russia

@l2el3eLLi0uS Well that ought to teach other countries to buy American not Russian!

[l2el3eLLi0uS]

@burner12 Not to bash the F15, as I too am very fond of the aircraft; merely tto fight the belief some people have that the F15, by having never been shot-down by a MiG21 (representing the vast majority of its air-to-air kill tally), is somehow invincible versus contempory fourth-generation types (against which it has simply never faced-off in combat). The few MiG29 in its kill record were dilluted export A-variants with sub-Russian standard radars; incapable of penetrating coalition jamming.

[l2el3eLLi0uS]

@burner12 Even a one-to-zero kill ratio is an 'infinite' kill ratio, and the F15 is not unique in having one. Lack of combat history doesn't prove a lack in combat capability; combat history owes itself more to politics than anything else. The Su27 has shot-down enemy aircraft as formidable as those encountered by the F15, and done so in third world environments without the electronic warfare/jamming support near-always used to shield U.S. and Israeli aircraft from enemy radar.

@l3attlel2oyal

The F- 15 was a generation ahead of its time, its been in service for 35 plus years......125 plus vs 0 defeats.......................­Enough said........

@l3attlel2oyal The Eagle and the Flanker are direct competitors...but the Flanker is notorious fo its instability at certain levels of flight...no wonder so many have crashed at air shows......the F-15 is a better all-around weapons platform....the Flanker will never even come close to the F-15's record...no matter what the Flanker has flown against.....great aircraft,the Su-27,just not that good....not to mention its poor service record.The Eagle tops it in every way....just how it is...always

[JoeVetteman]

@kmiwka Funny guy...Eagle wins...Raptor will kill them all....sorry......we're just a bi ahead....Russian birds are very good.....but never better
