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

The McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle are considered probably the most capable twin-engine air-superiority fighters nowadays. Since its maiden journey in July 1972, this record breaking Mach 2.5 fighter is a yardstick for jet fighter design. Toward very early 1980's, the Air Force asked for McDonnell Douglas to improve their F-15 fighter into a dual-role aircraft become known as F-15E "hit Eagle" to be utilized as an air-to-air fighter, as well as for environment to ground attack missions. This unique variation was at fact built to penetrate profoundly into enemy territory unescorted, and hit military goals with pinpoint precision. The hit eagle employs two acutely dependable Pratt & Whitney F100-PW-229 devices and wound up being produced specially as a two-person team of pilot and tools system officer. The LANTRIN (minimal Altitude Navigation and Targeting Infra-Red for evening) system enables the Strike Eagle to operate at night time and in poor weather. The Hit Eagle doubles with around an 11-ton payload that may carry the GBU-28 Bunker Buster, a guided bomb developed to destroy strengthened underground bunkers. The Strike Eagle finished 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.
