You have to believe that Boeing used its export customers to develop this machine at little internal cost - Qatar got some, and although not widely advertised, so did Singapore. I once chatted to a SAF F-15 driver who claimed they had the most advanced one.
Now the Eagle II flies, testament to the soundness of the original design some 50 years ago.
Still one of my alltime favourite war jets, and never been shot down.

I've got a squadron pin from Republic of Singapore Air Force's Fighting Shikras squadron. They fly the F-15E version.
