The McDonnell Douglas F-15 is a single-seat "all-weather" fighter aircraft designed and built to provide and maintain "air superiority". The F-15 Eagle was developed in the 1970s to provide US Air Force aviation units with an advanced and powerful fighter aircraft. In its further development, represented by the "C" version, the F-15 is still widely used today by the US Air Force, the US National Guard and the air forces of Israel, Japan and Saudi Arabia. The F-15C took an active part in the first Gulf War and secured air superiority for the coalition forces by shooting down the highest number of enemy aircraft. Armed with a 20 mm M61 cannon, it can deploy a variety of air-to-air missiles. The two powerful Pratt & Whitney F100 engines with afterburner enable the F-15C to reach speeds of Mach 2.5.
