F-2

Serbia has a large stockpile of them.

As far as I’m aware they kept the (v)1 as the planned (v)10 upgrade never happened. I can’t rule out that with the usaf jets getting apg-83 that spare (v)5 aren’t being given to older jets (Greece is doing something similar with its old v(9))

Radar could be interesting the F3R version of the AESA doesn’t add any additional modes from the F3, those are added in F4. So if you can do an F3 you could do a F3R https://www.key.aero/forum/modern-military-aviation/129695-f-35-news-multimedia-discussion-thread-2?p=3021418&page=137

We might get lucky with a MKK/MK2 because it’s an export product. i would love both flankers though SM for radar and thrust vectoring. the mod team has one of five manuals MK2 for missiles and air to ground. Better documented jet and much more similar to the base flanker (it comes across more as a modernization then a different jet. —- we also have the pocket guide for the Yemeni SMT manual

MK2 would also mean air to ground modes and Chinese air to air missiles. its also mostly an export jet which helps. Radar range is still the same as the base flanker but RWR is much newer. back seater cannot fire weapons but otherwise has full control of the radar.

I’m very curious about the version and standard. this module has been strangely soft announced and confirmed several times.

I have the F110-GE-100 booklet from GE I would be happy to make available the national electronics museum has a APG-68(v)1 manual which is actually quite different from the (V)5. definitely a something for everyone aircraft.

Antennas are both around 36 inches and apg-63 has 3 times the peak power in addition to better processors and a more modern antenna design. Not exactly bigger and more powerful aPG-65 and n019 which do have similar power and antenna designs havd similar range but the antidotes about situational awareness is night and day.

Oh I have this! It’s a great document

The reference number on the top could be used to look it up in the UK national archives. This sort of thing is pretty universally released after 25 years. As a note they don’t edit the documents and don’t cross off things like confidential or secret like in the US. just based on age the archives would release something with just a confidential rating but the archivist would not allow access if there was an exception.

This is awesome! That part about Skyflash vs R-27 is neat. They actually have very similar sealer designs. i think I know one of the fulcrum pilots in this action.

Iraq liked SPO-15 because it could detect AWG-9. The others I’m less sure about.

One of the UK national archives docs has some blue vixen stuff

Definitely agree more assets for all eras.

Probably could do a Tornado F3 or Brit Harrier.

Any info is great as this is one of the most needed improvements!

It’s based on the SM Avionics manual which is later 2000s. Our F-16 is based on the October 2007 TO 1F-16CM

I can provide proof to the devs

Aftermarket refueling prob

APG-68(v)1 and (V)7 have Uplook Search APG-68(v)5 has LRS IDK the difference I think LRS is an interleave mode.
