About the F-15E Strike Eagle:
The F-15E Strike Eagle is a dual-role fighter designed to perform air-to-air and air-to-ground missions. With a wide array of avionic and electronic systems, it has the capability to fight at high and low altitude, day or night and in all weather. The Strike Eagle has been deployed for military operations in Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya. During these types of operations, it is often used for deep strikes against high-value targets, combat air patrols and provide close air combat. This is a departure from the original intent of the F-15, since it was initially intended as an air superiority fighter.
The F-15E was deployed in response to Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait in August 1990 for Operation Desert Shield. They were able to destroy 18 Iraqi jets on the ground at Tallil air base using GBY-12s and CBU-87s. Following Desert Storm, the F-15 was used in Operations Southern Watch and Northern Watch and later Iraq and middle-eastern missions.
