Vietnam's founding president Ho Chi Minh's famous September 2, 1945 speech - part of which was taken from the US Declaration of Independence - launched a new era of struggle to end nearly a century of French colonial rule and later fight off American intervention and reunify Vietnam.

Plus the latest Sniper XR targeting pod that they have. In the pic above under the left intake, just beneath the Tiger Eye sensor.

These two systems is what the SA has in common with the South Korean K - Slam Eagle. The first K batch also has the new GE engines.
The Singaporean SG also has the GE engines and the APG-63(v)3 radar the SA carries, but I think it lacks the Tiger Eye IRST / FLIR. I'm not sure on the pod.
So the SA is the only version to incorporate all those features plus a fully digital EW suite.

The F-15SA is a good 4.5++ Air Superiority aircraft. And with that very robust sensor suite and sixteen A2A missiles it is going to be a complete handful for any peer opposition.
