History:
The McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle was developed in the 1970s as the USAF’s premier air superiority fighter, ensuring air dominance in the face of advanced Soviet aircraft. The F-15C variant, introduced in the late 1970s, featured improved avionics, radar, and fuel capacity, cementing its reputation as a highly capable long-range fighter. With a perfect air-to-air combat record of over 100 victories and no losses, the F-15C has become one of the most successful modern fighters in history. It has served in numerous conflicts, including the Gulf War, Iraq, and Afghanistan, and continues to fly with both the USAF and allied nations. Its combination of power, manoeuvrability, and advanced systems ensures its enduring legacy as a cornerstone of modern air combat.
