f-15

The F-15 Eagle is the US armed forces' top air superiority fighter - it has never been defeated by an enemy aircraft. The F-15 can carry short/medium range A2A missiles and guided/unguided A2G weapons. It's also armed with a 20mm cannon.

F-15's are only operated by the US, Israel, Japan, South Korea and Saudi Arabia.
