The F-15E Strike Eagle is a different, significantly heavier and higher payload was produced by a separate, later project abd competition from the original air-to-air F-15 (its competitor was thr F-16XL, which would have been the F-16E/F if selected.)

And the F-15EX Eagle II is an even newer aircraft.

The F-15C/D are still air-to-air fighters.
