"EW aircraft was hit. It's being attacked by an F-15E!"
AWACS Long Caster[1]

The F-15E Strike Eagle is a multirole strike aircraft of the F-15 Eagle family that is featured regularly in the Ace Combat series. Compared to the F-15C Eagle, the F-15E features improved avionics, conformal tanks, and multiple weapon hardpoints.

History[]

Strangereal[]

The first known deployment of the Strike Eagle was during the Belkan War. They were primarily fielded by the Belkan Air Force particularly during the middle stages of the conflict. Strike Eagles were used as escort craft for the flight of Bm-335 Lindwurm bombers that were equipped with nuclear warheads during the infamous Operation Ravage.

During the Usean Continental War, the Independent State Allied Forces and Erusea both had the aircraft. ISAF's first Stonehenge assault included a full squadron of F-15Es that were shot down by Yellow Squadron.

In 2010, during the Circum-Pacific War, they were used by Yuktobania to attack Osean forces during the Jilachi Desert Invasion. The Osean Air Defense Force had access to the craft during the same conflict.[2]

During the Emmeria-Estovakia War, both Emmerian and Estovakian forces utilized the Strike Eagle as a multirole aircraft. The most notable users were the Republic of Emmeria Air Force's Garuda Team and Estovakian Civil War veteran Dragan Panadic, callsign "Oryol", who was shot down by Talisman during the Rargom Beach offensive on January 26, 2016.[3]

F-15Es were fielded during the Lighthouse War, again by the Erusean Air Force and Osea. Osean aircraft during the conflict had the ability to be fielded with a new tactical laser system. The most notable Erusean F-15E pilot was Samuel Everest, who was shot down by Trigger Over Artiglio Port during Operation Three of a Kind.[4]

On June 30, 2020, the original F-15Es of Emmerian aces Talisman and Shamrock were showcased at a ceremony commemorating 25 years since the end of the Belkan War at Redmill Air Force Base in Osea, alongside other foreign air units. The Emmerian military had sent these aircraft among others after being invited by the Osean government.[5]

Assault Horizon Universe[]

F-15Es were used by Warwolf Squadron when they flew their sortie in Derbent.

Join Assault Universe[]

The F-15E was used by both the Valahia terrorist organization and the International Union Peacekeeping Force during the Valahia Crisis and the Golden Axe Plan.

Infinity Universe[]

The Strike Eagle was one of the aircraft designs Wernher and Noah Enterprises produced with their Advanced Automated Aviation Plant and made available to sale to national and mercenary forces. During Operation Eternal Liberation, this aircraft was modestly popular with both United Nations Forces and the USEA Federation, seeing action all around the Eurasia continent.

Game Analysis[]

Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown[]

"A vastly improved version of the double-seater F-15 bomber. Various parts have been reinforced for greater robustness, and its armament boasts huge air-to-ground payload. It maintains the air combat prowess of the craft it was based on, making it a powerful machine adept at both anti-air and anti-surface warfare. Nicknamed "Strike Eagle", at present more improvements are being planned, as well as a stealth variant."

Trivia[]

  • The YK colour in AC5, Mercenary scheme in ACZ, Leasath colour scheme in ACX, Color 2 in ACJA, the Event Skin #2 in ACI, the SP paint scheme in AC7 is the color scheme of the Israeli variant of the F-15E, also know as F-15I.
  • The F-15E Strike Eagle's deployment in the Usean coup d'état is non-canon as the aircraft does not appear in Ace Combat 2's remake, Ace Combat: Assault Horizon Legacy, where the F-15SE Silent Eagle takes its place.
