Well, asssuming you mean in an air-superiority role, the F-15 is hard to beat (Over a 100 kills and no losses in combat).
but without thrust vectoring (like the Su-30/35 and the F-22) don't you think the
current F-15 is at a disadvantage?
Sure the F-15 is no slouch, but most of its kills are by the Israelis a llloooong time ago....how would it stack up against more modern competition? I would suggest that it would still be competitive but not dominant...
