ĭespite a lack of official interest, McDonnell Douglas quietly worked on an F-15-derived interdictor fighter. Unlike the F-4, the F-15 was designed for the air superiority mission with little consideration for a ground-attack role the F-15 Special Project Office opposed the idea of F-15s performing the interdiction mission, giving rise to the phrase 'Not a pound for air to ground.' In service, the F-15 has been a successful fighter, scoring over 100 aerial combat victories and zero losses in air-to-air combat as of 2007. The McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle was introduced by the USAF to replace its fleet of McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom IIs.

It has also been exported to several countries.

During these operations, the strike fighter has carried out deep strikes against high-value targets and combat air patrols, and provided close air support for coalition troops. The Strike Eagle has been deployed for military operations in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, and Libya, among others. United States Air Force (USAF) F-15E Strike Eagles can be generally distinguished from other US Eagle variants by darker aircraft camouflage, conformal fuel tanks (CFTs) mounted along the engine intake ramps (although CFTs can also be mounted on earlier F-15 variants) and a tandem-seat cockpit. The F-15E was designed in the 1980s for long-range, high-speed interdiction without relying on escort or electronic-warfare aircraft. The McDonnell Douglas (now Boeing) F-15E Strike Eagle is an American all-weather multirole strike fighter derived from the McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle.
