A true hunter-killer combo

[william]

Did you know the F-15EX can launch an AIM-120 farther than any other USAF fighter? Its speed and altitude performance gives it a reach few aircraft can match. Bigger, roomier, and able to fly farther than both the F-22 and F-35, the F-15EX is built to carry heavy loads and stay in the fight (for longer). While F-22s and F-35s will use stealth to slip in close and lock targets, F-15EX crews will linger on the edges, waiting for the call to fire. One team stalks, the other strikes from afar - a true hunter-killer combo.

It’s more effective that just the performance numbers. With a network interface between planes the 35 can designate multiple targets. Then relay that data to the F-15 to allow them to launch. Range payload networked targeting.
Then include the F-18 Growler which can mask the radar signature of the F-15’s
