History and achievements of the F-15E Strike Eagle: The F-15E Strike Eagle is an American multirole fighter capable of operating in all weather conditions. It was designed in the 1980s as part of the Dual-Role Fighter (DRF) program, intended for long-range, fast interdiction missions without the need for escort or electronic support. The F-15E is distinguished by its darker camouflage, additional fuel tanks, and tandem cockpit.

The first flight of the F-15E took place in 1986, and production continued by Boeing after the merger with McDonnell Douglas in 1997. This aircraft became the primary strike fighter of the USAF at the end of the Cold War, replacing the F-111 Aardvark. The F-15E has participated in numerous military operations, including in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, and Libya, conducting deep strike, air patrol, and close support missions.
