Concerning the Boeing F-15E Strike Eagle w/"Bunker Buster"

The McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle can be regarded as the absolute most capable twin-engine air-superiority fighters these days. Since its maiden trip in July 1972, this record breaking Mach 2.5 fighter is a yardstick for jet fighter design. Into the early 1980's, the Air Force asked for McDonnell Douglas to modify their F-15 fighter into a dual-role aircraft to be referred to as F-15E "hit Eagle" for use as an air-to-air fighter, and for environment to ground attack missions. This brand new variation was in fact made to penetrate deeply into enemy territory unescorted, and hit army goals with pinpoint precision. The strike eagle employs two very dependable Pratt & Whitney F100-PW-229 devices and ended up being created specially as a two-person team of pilot and tools system officer. The LANTRIN (minimal Altitude Navigation and Targeting Infra-Red for Night) system enables the Strike Eagle to operate during the night as well as in bad weather. The Hit Eagle may also be employed with around an 11-ton payload and may carry the GBU-28 Bunker Buster, a guided bomb developed to destroy strengthened underground bunkers. The Strike Eagle ended up being implemented in December 1989. Through the Gulf War in 1991, 2 squadrons of 48 F-15E Strike Eagles demonstrated their energy as multi-purpose fighter/attack planes.
