The McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle is an American twin-engine fighter and attack aircraft, the first flight of which took place on July 27, 1972. The F-15 was developed as a result of experience gained from air combat over Vietnam and served as the U.S. Air Force's response to the Soviet MiG-23 and MiG-25 fighters. It was created under the FX (Fighter Experimental) program, in which McDonnell-Douglas was selected as the winner in 1969.
When designing the F-15, particular emphasis was placed on minimizing service time. On one hand, this was achieved through the installation of user-friendly and easily replaceable components, and on the other, by integrating automatic systems that reduce the need for manual intervention. The result was a successor to the F-4 Phantom that surpassed its predecessor in all aspects while requiring half the maintenance time.
Another strength of the F-15 lies in its pair of Pratt & Whitney F100 afterburning engines, which produce 4,500 kg more thrust than the aircraft's own weight. This high thrust-to-weight ratio allows the F-15 to make tight turns without significant speed loss. Additionally, the aircraft can carry a large payload of weapons on eight hardpoints located under its wings and fuselage.
Since its introduction, several variants of the F-15 have been developed. The C and D versions are the second generation of the aircraft, replacing the original A and B models in 1979. While the external appearance remained mostly unchanged, the avionics systems were comprehensively modernized, making the Eagle an even deadlier weapon. In the 1980s, the F-15D was also used in experiments involving ASAT anti-satellite missiles.
At the same time, the F-15E Strike Eagle was being developed. Unlike earlier models designed purely for air superiority, the E variant was configured for both air-to-air combat and ground attack missions, offering a broad range of capabilities. The F-15E entered service in 1988 and is expected to remain operational until at least 2035. Another notable variant is the F-15J, produced under license in Japan. F-15s have been exported to several countries, including Japan, Israel, Saudi Arabia, and South Korea, and have proven themselves in combat - achieving air victories during Operation Desert Storm and the 2003 invasion of Iraq.
