F-2

Can’t we check the manuals? the SMT can carry it, I’ll have to look at the base jet

https://www.twz.com/34169/no-the-f-117-never-had-air-to-air-capability-but-one-did-get-a-radar one of them was trialed with the B-1 radar for Sparrow comparability. I wonder if AIM-9 or its dummy round is used on the post retirement F-117. It would be great to use it as an *aggressor* against the F-35.

I’d be interested in hearing how the block 60 fairs as it has a slanted radar. On the fighter pilot podcast I think a Raptor pilot even mentioned how illusive the Viper can be on radar.

and here is the J-10C in DCS, you just need to join the PLAAF to use it!

I have to find the source but as I understand Shape is the primary source of RCS reduction while RAM is comparatively minor (it’s not minor but it’s the shape doing the heavy lifting).

F-15J was considered for upgrades to F110-IHI-129 in the early 2000s but it never happened.

F-15C never had GE!

Thank you. I don’t think a J-20 module is plausible but my hope was J-10 module and J-20 AI asset.

https://basicsaboutaerodynamicsandavionics.wordpress.com/2022/11/27/j-20-radar-scattering-simulation/ it’s doable

Not at all likely though an AI asset would be cool. Quite a few papers on Aero, RCS studies and the general characteristics of the radar is known. Early batch used an al31f variant

I suspect it will come. actually since they use the F-117 as an aggressor to simulate Chinese stealth jets it’s perfect for the F-35.

https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/C17574716 apparently this has lots of information on blue vixen. I’m looking into requesting a copy. It might be a bit pricy but it should be worth it. still no luck on blue fox

Did they have F-15C? I thought they were A. Or was it both.

I just wanted the date

Yea, APG-70 entered service in 1988, APG-63(v)1 in mid 2001, actually a few months before APG-63(v)2 (April vs December) https://aviationweek.com/af-begins-deploying-apg-63v1-radar-upgrades-f-15-fleet i don’t know if APG-63(v)1 is actually that different in performance or if it’s mostly a reliability replacement modification. As I understand it apg-63 and apg-70 were out of production and in need of parts https://comptroller.defense.gov/Portals/45/Documents/execution/reprogramming/fy2001/prior1415s/01-05_PA_F-15.pdf

Saudi Eagles did also kill some Iranian F-4 in a 1984 skirmish. https://militarymatters.online/military-history/eagle-vs-phantom-5-june-1984/ I only bring it up because I think that’s the first time an F-15C was used in battle.

Wow thank you!

This is 9.18 which doesn’t have the hump 9.19 has the hump. 9.18 is used by Yemen and Eritrea.

Do one with no hump then
