F-15 Eagle

The McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle is a twin-engine, all-weather tactical fighter plane designed by McDonnell Douglas (now part of Boeing). Following an examination of submissions, the United States Air Force chose McDonnell Douglas' design to answer the service's demand for a dedicated air superiority fighter in 1969. The Eagle first took to the skies in July 1972, and it entered service in 1976. It is one of the most successful modern fighters, with over 100 wins and no losses in aerial combat, with the Israeli Air Force accounting for the vast majority of kills.

The F-15 Eagle and its variants are among the most powerful jet fighters ever produced. McDonnell Douglas designed and built it, and it is primarily utilized as an air superiority tactical fighter. The Eagle is one of modern history's most successful fighters, having won well over 100 aerial fights with no deaths. It has been widely supplied to several air forces worldwide, from Japan to Saudi Arabia. It is not only harmful, but it also appears hazardous. This fighter will live on in the memories of any child who grew up in the 1980s thanks to cartoon characters like "Starscream from the Transformers." This is one of the best fighter jets in the world.
