=== History ===
 
The '''F-15E Strike Eagle''' was developed as a multirole strike fighter, building on the air superiority-focused design of the original F-15 Eagle. Its origins trace back to the 1970s, when the U.S. Air Force sought a replacement for the F-111 Aardvark, a fighter-bomber with extended range and payload capacity. McDonnell Douglas proposed the F-15E, a dual-role variant capable of excelling in air-to-air combat while also delivering significant ground-attack capabilities.
 
 
 
The F-15E made its first flight in December 1986 and entered service in 1988. It featured reinforced airframes to handle increased weight from additional fuel and weaponry, conformal fuel tanks (CFTs) for extended range, and an advanced radar and targeting system for precision strikes. A two-seat configuration allowed the pilot to focus on flying while the Weapon Systems Officer (WSO) managed targeting and electronic warfare systems.
 
 
 
==== Combat Usage ====
 
The F-15E debuted in combat during the '''1991 Gulf War (Operation Desert Storm)''', where it demonstrated its multirole effectiveness. Strike Eagles carried out precision bombing missions against Iraqi command centers, Scud missile launchers, and critical infrastructure. Equipped with GPS-guided munitions and advanced targeting pods, the F-15E delivered remarkable accuracy in night and all-weather operations. It also proved capable in air-to-air engagements, shooting down several enemy aircraft with AIM-7 Sparrow and AIM-120 AMRAAM missiles.
 
 
 
Since the Gulf War, the F-15E has participated in numerous conflicts, including operations in Kosovo, Afghanistan, Iraq, and Syria. Its versatility allows it to perform close air support (CAS), interdiction, and deep-strike missions with a broad array of modern weapons.

Usage in battles

Describe the tactics of playing in the aircraft, the features of using aircraft in a team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view, but instead, give the reader food for thought. Examine the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).

Pros and cons

Summarise and briefly evaluate the vehicle in terms of its characteristics and combat effectiveness. Mark its pros and cons in the bulleted list. Try not to use more than 6 points for each of the characteristics. Avoid using categorical definitions such as "bad", "good" and the like - use substitutions with softer forms such as "inadequate" and "effective".

Cons:

History

Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the aircraft in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />. This section may also include the vehicle's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under === In-game description ===, also if applicable).

Media

Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
