F-15 Eagle (Eagle) is a twin-engine, all-weather tactical fighter aircraft manufactured by McDonnell Douglas (now Boeing). Joined in the inventory of the United States Air Force since 1972, this aircraft is designed to intercept and destroy enemy aircraft. The F-15 outperformed many combat aircraft of its era in terms of speed, maneuverability, avionics systems, and weapons carrying capacity.
The main contractor for the F-15 is Boeing, and it has different models. These models include the F-15C, F-15E Strike Eagle and the newest version, the F-15EX. We also see the F-15 aircraft taking on important roles in the air forces of other countries such as Japan, Saudi Arabia and Israel.
The F-15 is known for its impressive performance characteristics. Capable of reaching a maximum speed of Mach 2.5+ (2,655 km/h), this aircraft can reach an altitude of 20,000 meters (65,000 feet). Effective in under-the-radar and high-altitude missions, the F-15 has excellent vertical acceleration thanks to its powerful engines. It can also carry a wide range of weapons and integrate a variety of air-to-air and air-to-ground weapons systems.

The F-15 is capable of destroying enemy radars, aircraft, ground targets and naval units. Thanks to its long-range radars and advanced firing systems, it can detect and engage enemy aircraft from long distances.
The United States Air Force has consolidated its place among modern combat aircraft by equipping the F-15EX with the latest technology. With next-generation radar systems, weapons integration capabilities, and improvements in avionics maintenance, the F-15EX is a candidate to become a powerful air superiority platform in the coming years.
These improvements to the F-15 platform will not only ensure more effective and long-lasting use of the aircraft in challenging missions, but also strengthen cooperation with allied countries. In this way, the strategic partnership and technological integration between the countries using the F-15 will be deepened.
F-15 savaş uçağının maksimum hızı Mach 2.5+'dır, yani saatte 2,655 kilometre hıza ulaşabilir.
F-15 uçağı öncelikle hava üstünlüğü sağlamak amacıyla kullanılmakta, ancak F-15E Strike Eagle versiyonu hava-yer saldırılarına özel olarak geliştirilmiştir.
F-15 savaş uçağı Amerika Birleşik Devletleri dışında Japonya, Suudi Arabistan ve İsrail dahil olmak üzere birçok ülkenin hava kuvvetleri tarafından kullanılmaktadır.
