The F-15J Kai is a variant of the F-15J interceptor modernized under the Mid-Term Defense Program (MTDP). This program brought about upgrades to the F-15J's engines and avionics, in addition to providing an IRST pod.
Description[]
The first fighter designed specifically for air-to-air combat since the F-86 Sabre, the aptly named Eagle is an all-weather, extremely maneuverable tactical fighter designed to gain and maintain complete dominance over any foe in the air. The secret to its performance lie in its inherent design, allowing unprecedented speed and agility in flight, supplemented by a wingspan as large as a tennis court, giving the F-15 a extremely long range for remote interceptions. The J Kai is a mid-life update to the venerable airframe to maintain its edge against its adversaries well into the future while a more advanced fighter is considered for purchase.
