Yes, the actual F-15SE airframes are not included in the FMS notification price.
Apparently, neither are the engines.

Also not included are all the things that are already in SK to support the F-15s the SKAF (Yes, I know... RoKAF) already has... maintenance facilities, parts, supply chain, test & repair equipment, simulators, training programs, etc.

Yes, there will be some differences for the -SE, but they will be changes to existing support & training infrastructure, not a "blank-sheet program" like the F-35.

NONE of this exists in SK for the F-35, so all of that has to be included in the FMS sale & notification price.
