F-15 Eagle

American military jet

The F-15 Eagle is an American fighter jet designed for air superiority—dominating other aircraft in combat.

Introduced in 1976, it remains one of the most successful fighters ever built, with an unmatched air-to-air combat record.

The twin-engine design emphasizes speed, maneuverability, and range: Two F-15s scrambled to intercept the unidentified aircraft.

Later variants like the F-15E Strike Eagle added ground-attack capability.
