The Republic of Korea Air Force (ROKAF) began operating F-15K Slam Eagles in 2005 to strengthen its air superiority and strike capabilities. The F-15K is a modernized variant of the F-15E Strike Eagle, equipped with advanced avionics, precision-guided weapons, and enhanced radar systems. It serves as a key multirole fighter, capable of both air-to-air combat and long-range ground attack, forming a backbone of South Korea’s modern air force.
