McDonnell Douglas (now Boeing) F-15E Strike Eagle is an American all-weather multirole fighter. It was designed in the 1980s for long-range, high speed interdiction without relying on escort or electronic warfare aircraft. The Strike Eagle, a major derivative of the McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle air superiority fighter, was deployed in Operation Desert Storm and Operation Allied Force, carrying out deep strikes againsthigh-value targets, combat air patrols, and providing close air support for coalition troops. It has also seen action in later conflicts and has been exported to several countries. United States Air Force F-15E Strike Eagles can be distinguished from other U.S. Eagle variants by darkercamouflage and conformal fuel tanks mounted along the engine intakes.
