Indonesia and Poland emerge among potential customers for Boeing's F-15EX
Boeing secured a $131.23B contract with the USAF for F-15 production and modernization, covering potential sales to seven foreign customers, including Indonesia and Poland. Neither country has confirmed purchases, but the contract allows future orders through 2031, with an option to extend to 2036. Indonesia previously pursued a deal but faced pricing issues, while Poland has shown interest but no active acquisition plans.
