Its primary mission is aerial combat, but it also performs ground attack missions. Radar and heat seeking air-to-air missiles and a 20 mm gun are the primary armament. Asan aerial combat aircraft, it can carry four AIM-7 missiles corner mount. ed on the fuselage, two AIM-9 missiles under cach wing, and an internally mounted M61A1 automatic 20 mm gun. As an attack aircraft, the F-15 is capable of carrying a multiton load of conventional bombs while retaining its own self-protective missile armament, and an automatic 20 mm gun. The F-15 is also capable of carrying Electronic Counter Measures (ECM) pods, one under each wing on the outboard stations or one on the centerline station, STATIONS The F-15 has nine stations mounted on the underside of the wings and fuselage, all of which vary in their capabilities and attaching hardware. 1. The outboard wing stations are designed to carry the ECM pod only, anc on each wing. 2. The inboard wing stations can be equipped with AIM-9 missiles, general purpose bombs, fire bombs, guided weapons, dispensers, and fuel tank. 3. The fuselage corner area contains four stations. These stations carry the AIM-? missiles only. 4. The fuselage centerline keel station can be equipped with general purpose bombs, fire bombs, guided weapons, dispensers, ECM pod and fuel tanks.
