F-15SG is an advanced variant of the US Air Force’s F-15E Strike Eagle multi-role fighter aircraft developed by Boeing. It is intended to strengthen air defence and strike capabilities of the Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF).The Government of Singapore signed a $1.6bn contract with Boeing for 12 F-15SG fighter aircraft to replace the RSAF’s retired A-4SU Super Skyhawk attack aircraft, in December 2005. The first F-15SG was rolled out in November 2008 and delivered in May 2009. Singapore, which is very secretive regarding its military, has also not disclosed the number of F-15SGs it has acquired, although a count of the airframes seen so far would indicate that it has 40 aircraft if these latest eight are included.
The F-15SG is one of the most advanced F-15 models currently in service, being equipped with the Raytheon AN/APG-63(v)3 active electronically scanned array radar and Lockheed Martin’s Sniper targeting pod. F-15SG multi-role tactical fighter aircraft has 15 weapon stations to carry a range of conventional and precision stand-off weapons based on the mission requirements. The aircraft can be armed with up to eight AIM-120 or AIM-9X air-to-air missiles when deployed in air-to-air attack mission and 15,500lb laser-guided bombs or Maverick air-to-surface missiles in air-to-ground roles. It also carries an internal General Dynamics M-61A1 20mm Gatling gun on the right-wing.
