F-15 Silent Eagle

I seriously doubt it... If IAF is looking for a ground attack aircraft why F15.. Which is costlier and old... And whats Rafale is gonna do in our inventory !!

you are right...but F-15 may be an old platform,but F-15 Silent Eagle(semi stealth) and Strike Eagle are new versions.its a potent platform..but its too damn costly..a single unit costs nearly 100 million dollar..

Guys it's an old thread and the news was BS even back then.

The F15 is a very old airframe. Inducting it would create a whole new logistics line, along with training requirements.


There are better options available. The Rafale is an excellent multi-role fighter which has a proven strike capability, and the IAF will almost certainly get 200 of them.


If the IAF really needs a strike fighter off the shelf, the su 34 is much better suited, as the logistics are already in place as is the training.
