The new version, called the F-15 Strike Eagle

Redesign

In 1981, the F-15 was redesigned to include the ability to carry bombs, allowing the F-15 to assume a ground-attack role, as well. This means that in addition to shooting down other planes, it can destroy buildings on the ground. This new variant (design) of the aircraft was called the F-15E Strike Eagle.
