F-15E Strike Eagle

Also known as
  • F-15E
  • Strike Eagle
  • McDonnell Douglas F-15E
  • Boeing F-15E

El F-15E Strike Eagle es un caza estadounidense biplaza de doble función construido para interdicción de largo alcance, ataque de precisión y combate aire-aire con escolta propia. Sus tanques de combustible conformables, pods de designación/navegación, radar y cabina para dos tripulantes lo convirtieron en un avión de ataque nocturno en la guerra del Golfo de 1990 y en una plataforma de ataque estadounidense y de derivados de exportación recurrente en Afganistán, Irak, Libia, Siria, operaciones contra ISIL y crisis posteriores en Oriente Medio.
