CNN report: F-15E Fighter (1 min. VXtreme streaming video) |
DESCRIPTION: The F-15 is the top-of-the-line U.S. fighter bomber. It's designed for all-weather, air-to-air and deep-strike bombing missions.
The F-15 can carry 24,500 pounds of bombs. It can fly at speeds of 2.5 Mach and at altitudes of up to 60,000 feet.
No F-15Es are in the region at the moment, but there are some at Lakenheath, England, within striking distance of Iraq.
ANYTHING NEW? The F-15E is now equipped to drop improved GBU-28 "bunker-busting" 5,000-pound bombs.
