Saudi F-15 Fighter Jet Crashes, Claiming Lives of Saudi Prince and Crew Members

A second F-15 fighter jet of the Royal Saudi Air Force (RSAF) has crashed this year, raising concerns about the aircraft's reputation. The latest crash occurred during a training mission at the King Abdulaziz Air Base in Dhahran, resulting in the death of the two crew members onboard. An investigation has been launched to determine the cause of the crash. The F-15SA, a two-seat variant of the McDonnell Douglas F-15, is considered the most sophisticated version and is operated by several countries in the Middle East, including Saudi Arabia, Israel, and Qatar. The F-15 has a history of air-to-air victories and is known for its air superiority capabilities.
