IAF interested in new F-15I squadron and V-22
The Jerusalem Post reported that BG Amir Eshel, deputy IAF commander, visited Boeing headquarters in March on the possible procurement of another squadron of F-15I with enhanced long-range capabilities.

The Eagles are expected to fill a gap that might be created due to possible delays in production of the F-35.

Boeing is expected to get back to the IAF on how to modify the F-15 to increase its range.

Boeing's V-22 has also attracted the interest from Israel which might use the aircraft for search and rescue teams and possibly for special ground forces.
