The F-15 Strike Eagle aircraft is an advanced two-seat fighter-bomber, complementing the F-15 Eagle air superiority fighter. Originally, the F-16 Fighting Falcon was seen as the only Air Force fighter-bomber of its generation, but the Strike Eagle evolved as a high-end attack aircraft.

Foreign operators

Israel uses a Strike Eagle variant specific to national needs and U.S. export controls.

Defensive systems

The AN/ALE-47 Countermeasures Dispenser System [CMDS], is a "smart" dispenser that can integrate with defensive avionics such as radar warning receivers, radar reflector (i.e., chaff) dispensers, radar jammers, as well as helping the pilot with situational awareness of the threat. [1]

Successor

For the United States, the successor to the F-15 air superiority and probably advanced fighter bomber series is the F-22 Raptor.
