The F-15 Eagle is a highly advanced, twin-engine, all-weather tactical fighter designed by McDonnell Douglas (now Boeing) to achieve and maintain air superiority in aerial combat. First introduced in the 1970s, the F-15 quickly established itself as one of the most dominant fighter aircraft in the world, with an unparalleled combat record of over 100 aerial victories and zero losses in air-to-air combat. Powered by two Pratt & Whitney F100 engines, it can reach speeds over Mach 2.5 and features a powerful AN/APG radar system, enabling it to detect, track, and engage enemy aircraft at long ranges. The F-15's design emphasizes speed, agility, and firepower, carrying a mix of air-to-air missiles and a 20mm cannon. Variants like the F-15E Strike Eagle have added ground-attack capabilities, increasing its versatility. Still in active service and continually upgraded, the F-15 remains a vital component of the U.S. and allied air forces worldwide.
