Is there nothing published about the F-15 avionics

Is there nothing published about the F-15 avionics, or is it classified ? Compare with F-14 CADC with recently unclassified description of MP944 chips involved. - Rod57 (talk) 22:07, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

F15I

The f15I is missing from the variants list. 176.230.98.161 (talk) 20:33, 1 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

F-15I is based on the F-15E, see McDonnell Douglas F-15E Strike Eagle#F-15I. -Fnlayson (talk) 20:45, 1 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sea Eagle Stuff

The "Sea Eagle" should be called the "Seagle" or the "Seagull" (this is not a serious topic.) Taffy boeing b 17 (talk) 16:28, 9 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

List of Avionics

Fnlayson, you removed the See Also entry linking to a list of electronic equipment with the comment that "the electronic inventory is not closely related". I'm a bit confused because the avionics are mentioned prominently throughout the article. The list previously linked has several references to the Eagle. The 2 pages are very related, and readers will likely find it interesting. I am currently working diligently to improve the readability of the list. I'd appreciate if you could revert your change. — TadgStirkland⁴⁰¹ (Tadg^Talk) 00:22, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

They did not seem that way at first to me. I am finding around 10 or so entries in that list page that mention the F-15 (a fraction of total entries). But it is a related list and similar to the others in the navbox template. So I'll add it back. Regards, -Fnlayson (talk) 01:20, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. As I update the page, I am converting it to a table with a column specifically for which aircraft a device was installed. As I go, I’m updating information and citations, and removing red links. So far, in a subpage to my userspace, I think it is coming along nicely. But, I’m also convincing myself the list should be split into subpages. — TadgStirkland⁴⁰¹ (Tadg^Talk) 01:48, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Cost/funding info seems to be missing from the article

Oddly, for a military acquisition program that has been underway for over 50 years, there is virtually nothing in the article to encyclopedically explain the funding for this expensive fighter jet, nor even the typical or average cost of such an aircraft. Searching for "price", "cost", "funding" come up nearly empty, and searching for "$" only got 3 hits, two related to what Saudi Arabia paid in ransom for return of a stolen F-15 that had been flown to Sudan. Why is this?

This article really needs improvement with funding and cost, historically and today. N2e (talk) 16:05, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
