Historical Information

The F-15B/D are trainer/combat versions of the multi-role McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle, originally designed for the U.S. Air Force during the Cold War. Israel began operating these highly effective aircraft at the end of the 1970s. They quickly became a key element of aerial superiority in the region, participating in numerous operations, including an exceptionally successful series of air combats in the Middle East without any own losses. The F-15D also served as the basis for the subsequent implementation of domestic upgrades.
