                                       F-15 Eagle

The Mitsubishi F-15J/DJ Eagle is a twin-engine, all-weather air superiority fighter based on the McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle in use by the Japan Air Self-Defense Force (JASDF). The F-15J was produced under license by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. The subsequent F-15DJ and F-15J Kai variants were also produced. Japan is the largest customer of the F-15 Eagle outside the United States. In addition to combat, F-15DJ roles include training. The F-15J Kai is a modernized version of the F-15J.

F-15 Eagle vyráběný firmou Boeing (dříve McDonnell Douglas) je americký stíhací letoun určený k vybojování a udržení vzdušné nadvlády. Byl navržen tak, aby v případě potřeby mohl útočit i na pozemní cíle. První stroje F-15 byly zařazeny do amerického letectva v roce 1976 a v první dekádě 21. století měly být nahrazeny stíhačkami 5. generace F-22 Raptor. Vzhledem k tomu, že letadla Raptor nebyla vyrobena v požadovaném množství, budou stíhačky F-15 definitivně nahrazeny až stroji F-35.

The McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle is an American twin-engine, all-weather tactical fighter aircraft designed by McDonnell Douglas (now Boeing). Following reviews of proposals, the United States Air Force selected McDonnell Douglas’s design in 1967 to meet the service’s need for a dedicated air superiority fighter. The Eagle first flew in July 1972, and entered service in 1976. It is among the most successful modern fighters, with over 100 victories and no losses in aerial combat, with the majority of the kills by the Israeli Air Force.
