I mean yeah sorta
F-15Es are still used somewhat often for Air to Ground stuff, just not as much as other aircraft.
Somewhat often? It's their primary role. It's called the Strike Eagle and its nickname is the Mudhen for a reason.
Lol sorry I meant in the sense of multiple squadrons, lots of nations usually have other A-G aircraft and don't buy the F-15E because its an expensive heavyweight that also doubles as an interceptor.
But yeah obviously by itself that's what it was designed for.
