Looks like the Saudis are seriously ramping up their offensive capability with the SA upgrade. AESA radar, DEWS, IRST, SNIPER, Senior Year Recon pack, AGM-88B, AGM-84C, JDAM, AIM-9X, AIM-120C, all the best goodies. Good to see the work for Boeing (although they'll still get work even if everyone else goes to the F-35 since they build substantial portions of the planes), the F-15 airframe is a very capable platform and continues to show room for growth with little to no penalty to range or speed.
