The F-35 has been in production since 2006 and over 14 countries plan on or operate one or more variants of the F-35.

The F-35 first entered service with the USMC back in 2015,then soon followed by the USAF in 2016 and finally the USN in early 2019.

Although still having a few issues the F-35 JSF is the most capable,survivable and advanced multirole air to everything fighter in the world and with plans of keeping it in service until the 2070’s who knows how long it will hold that title.

The F-15 BAZ is the Israeli versions of the air superiority/multirole F-15 A/B/C/D variants.

Although starting out as a strict air superiority fighter over time the F-15 BAZ was modified to be able to attack ground targets mostly seen on the B/D models long before the F-15E entered service.

The F-15 BAZ is also capable of being equipped with CFT’s/Fuel And Sensor Tactical Packs or Fast Packs for short.

In the mid 90’s the IAF F-15 fleet received a major upgrade program which added the DASH system,JHMCS,the ability to carry the AIM-9X and the AIM-120.

The F-15 B/D BAZ models have also been equipped with a high bandwidth satellite communication system which is that what that bulbous dome behind the cockpit is.The nick name for that such satellite dome is R2-D2.

Fun fact The F-15 BAZ has been credited with over half the total F-15 kills
