Which munition type is explicitly listed under F-15 Strike Eagle Ordnance for air-to-ground use?

• A. AIM-9,120
• B. 20 mm
• C. MK-82, 84
• D. SDB

Answer: (D)

The main idea here is identifying a munition that the F-15E Strike Eagle is explicitly listed to deliver as air-to-ground. The Small Diameter Bomb is a precision-guided, 500-pound class munition designed for air-to-ground use and is specifically listed in the F-15E ordnance catalog as an air-to-ground option. Its small diameter allows precision strikes with reduced collateral damage and it has been integrated with the F-15E, making it a clearly documented air-to-ground munition for this aircraft.

AIM-9 is an air-to-air missile, not used for air-to-ground targeting. The 20 mm gun round is a cannon ammunition type, not a standalone air-to-ground munition in the typical magazine of air-to-ground ordnance. MK-82/84 are traditional gravity bombs and are indeed air-to-ground weapons, but in the context of this question, the option that is explicitly listed for air-to-ground use on the F-15E’s ordnance table is the Small Diameter Bomb.
