Next question.

How many serious air-to-air threats has the US encountered since the F-15 has been in service?

It would be worse, but they probably don't have enough missiles left to finish the rest off.

So just how many F-15s have been lost in combat since it entered service?

That's a good question. Subman1 might know. There was a website that listed every countries air to air combat kills, it might say something there. The link is in another thread, and I don't remember which one it was.

I wonder if the IAF has lost any F-15s in action?

Over half done by IAF, and all the rest but a handful by USAF. The "handful" is the Saudi Air Forces four kills.
