McDonnell Douglas F-15E Strike Eagle
Also known as F-15 Strike Eagle, Strike Eagle, F15E, Boeing F-15E Strike Eagle, McDonnell Douglas Strike Eagle
The McDonnell Douglas F-15E Strike Eagle is an American all-weather multirole strike fighter derived from the McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle. Intended for the Dual-Role Fighter (DRF) program, the F-15E was designed in the 1980s for long-range, high-speed interdiction without relying on escort or electronic-warfare aircraft. United States Air Force (USAF) F-15E Strike Eagles can be generally distinguished from other US Eagle variants by darker aircraft camouflage, conformal fuel tanks (CFTs) and LANTIRN pods mounted behind the engine intake ramps and a tandem-seat cockpit.

McDonnell Douglas F-15E Strike Eagle – amerykański myśliwiec wielozadaniowy, rozwinięcie konstrukcji F-15 Eagle. W przeciwieństwie do pierwotnych wersji F-15, które są niemal wyłącznie myśliwcami przewagi powietrznej, Strike Eagle to maszyna zdolna do prowadzenia ataków na cele naziemne, także nocą, z małej wysokości i przy dowolnych warunkach pogodowych, zachowując przy tym możliwość walki z innymi samolotami.
