Boeing, in collaboration with the U.S. Air Force and Qatar Emiri Air Force (QEAF), officially unveiled Qatar’s advanced F-15, the F-15QA, in St. Louis yesterday. The first batch of F-15QA jets will be delivered to Qatar later this year following the completion of pre-delivery pilot training. The company will also establish and operate an aircrew as well as maintenance training facilities for the QEAF at Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar through 2024.
Unlike other variants of the F-15, the F-15QA adds several next-generation technologies, like fly-by-wire flight controls, a digital cockpit, modernized sensors / radar / electronic warfare capabilities, and the world’s fastest mission computer. This increases the reliability, sustainability and maintainability of the aircraft, thus enabling defense operators to affordably remain ahead of current and evolving threats.

The rollout of the F-15QA is momentous, not just in terms of capability but also in terms of the enhanced partnership it represents. The relationship the United States shares with Qatar is critical to the stability and security of the central command area of responsibility, and we are grateful for our coalition partner’s continued focus on building interoperability and combined readiness. It is a privilege and honor to stand with our Qatari counterparts this day and every day,” said Lt. Gen. Greg Guillot, commander of 9th Air Force.
