History:
The McDonnell Douglas F-15E Strike Eagle entered service in the late 1980s as a multirole strike fighter derived from the F-15 air superiority platform. Retaining the speed and manoeuvrability of the Eagle, the F-15E added a second crew member, advanced avionics, and the ability to carry a large payload of precision-guided munitions. It proved itself in combat during the Gulf War and has since seen extensive service in Iraq, Afghanistan, and other modern conflicts. Known for its versatility, range, and combat record, the F-15E continues to serve as one of the most capable and reliable aircraft in the USAF arsenal.
