F-15 "Wild Weasel" variant, that's why.
Send them in with the F-22's and there would not even be a trace of opposition.
Personal opinion.

OTOH, it would be a good insurance policy to by another wing of F-15E's. The Echo seems to have all the qualities you want in a strike fighter (bomber, really). Range, payload, weapons-type, some ACM capability...where else are you going to get that? Not the JSF, for sure.

Unfortunately, we are putting all of our faith in the F-18G.
I would love to have another 96 F-15E's in the US inventory and perhaps an equal number in the Japanese inventory.
