How does the F-15 Strike Eagle differ from the F-15 Eagle?

The F-15 Strike Eagle is an upgraded version of the F-15 Eagle, a tactical fighter aircraft designed and built by Boeing. The F-15 Strike Eagle is an all-weather multirole fighter, whereas the F-15 Eagle is primarily an air superiority fighter. The Strike Eagle has additional avionics and weapons systems, which make it a more versatile and capable aircraft than the Eagle.

One of the main differences between the two aircraft is that the F-15 Strike Eagle has a second crew member, a weapon systems officer (WSO), in addition to the pilot. This allows the aircraft to perform ground-attack missions in addition to air-to-air combat. The Strike Eagle also has additional hardpoints for weapons and fuel tanks, and a redesigned cockpit and canopy.

The F-15 Strike Eagle also has improved engines, which give it more power and speed than the F-15 Eagle. The Strike Eagle can fly at a maximum speed of Mach 2.5, and has a combat radius of 790 nautical miles (910 mi, 1,460 km). It also has an advanced radar system, which allows it to detect and track enemy aircraft at long ranges.
