IAF chief test flies F-15EX in US

The Chief of the Indian Air Force, Air Chief Marshal Amar Preet Singh, flew the advanced F-15EX Eagle II fighter jet at Nellis Air Force Base in the United States. The flight is seen as a first-hand evaluation of the aircraft, which is a contender in India's ongoing competition to acquire 114 multi-role fighter jets. The demonstration signals the continued growth of US-India defense cooperation and provides the IAF leadership with direct operational insight into the jet's capabilities, including its advanced radar and significant payload capacity.
