    F-15Es are still used somewhat often for Air to Ground stuff

    Somewhat often? It’s their primary role. It’s called the Strike Eagle and its nickname is the Mudhen for a reason.

      Lol sorry I meant in the sense of multiple squadrons, lots of nations usually have other A-G aircraft and don’t buy the F-15E because its an expensive heavyweight that also doubles as an interceptor.

      But yeah obviously by itself that’s what it was designed for.
