The American F-15E Strike Eagle from the United States air Force are designed for air-to-air combats and air-to-ground missions with precision ammunition. The F-15E can fight his way over long distances to destroy enemy ground targets and fight his way back safely.
The main difference with the F-16 is that the F-15E is much more expensive, twin-engine, larger, larger thrust-to-weight ratio and was build on the basis of the F-15A/C interceptor which was the most advanced us fighter jet before.
The F-15E is featured by a superior maneuverability and acceleration. The F-15 was the first American operational aircraft whose engines' thrust exceeded the plane's loaded weight, permitting it to accelerate, even while in vertical climb. Low-wing loading (the ratio of aircraft weight to its wing surface) is a vital factor in maneuverability and combined with the high thrust-to-weight ratio, it enables the aircraft to turn tightly without losing speed.
