F-15E Strike Eagle
History:
The F-15E Strike Eagle
is a dual-role fighter designed for
long range interdiction of enemy
ground targets deep behind enemy
lines. An array of avionics and
electronics systems gives the
aircraft the capability to fly at low
altitude, day or night, and in any
weather condition. Derived from the
F-15 Eagle, the Strike Eagle has
proved its worth in various
operations, carrying out deep strikes
against high value targets and
providing close air support for
coalition troops. The F-15E can be
distinguished from the F 15
by its darker camouflage and the
conformal fuel tanks attached to the
fuselage.
In March 1981, the United States
Air Force (USAF) announced the
Enhanced Tactical Fighter program
to procure a replacement for the F-
111 Aardvark. General Dynamics
and McDonnell Douglas submitted
proposals, and in February 1984,
the contract was awarded to
McDonnell Douglas. The F-15E had
its maiden flight on December 11,
1986. While designed for ground
attack, the versatile Strike Eagle
retains much of the air-to-air lethality
of the F-15 and can defend itself
against enemy aircraft.
The F-15E saw combat during
Operations Desert Shield and
Desert Storm after Iraq invaded
Kuwait in August 1990. On February
14, 1991, an F-15E scored an air-to-
air kill, a Mil Mi-24 Hind helicopter.
The attack was in response to a
request for help by US Special
Forces. Following Desert Storm, two
no-fly zones were set up over Iraq
and policed mainly by US and UK
aircraft. The Strike Eagle would fly
into combat on many occasions over
the next decade and was the most
highly-tasked of all USAF tactical
fighters. The F-15E usually attacked
ammunition bunkers, command and
control facilities, towed anti-aircraft
batteries and launchers. It also
cooperated with other aircraft in
strikes.
