The Verdástrun F15 Reiterar (Carlosian: repeat) is a third-generation, twin-engine, supersonic multirole fighter aircraft in service with the Carlosian Air Force.
Subsequent upgrades have allowed the F15 to stay in service with the Carlosian Air Force up to the present day, with 192 in frontline service as of 2024. Improvements have included a glass cockpit, as well as a hybrid electronically scanned array (HESA) radar, new engines and the replacement of many mechanical functions with fly-by-wire technology. Due to the large number of airframes which were produced, 384 were mothballed for reactivation should the need arise. On 19 July 2024, with the increasing tensions in Musgorocia over the Thouthen crisis, it was announced that all would be brought out of reserve to be upgraded and put into active service.
