Sure! http://www.defense-aerospace.com/articles-view/release/3/161361/iran-says-it%E2%80%99s-modifying-f_14-fighters-for-new-missions.html https://theaviationist.com/2015/03/01/iriaf-f-14s-overhauled/ TEHRAN --- A senior Air Force commander praised Iran's capability as the only country, besides the US, that can overhaul F14 fighter jets, adding that Iranian experts have mounted new radar and weapons systems on the aircraft to optimize it for new missions. He also said that Iran has mounted its hi-tech home-made radar system on its F14 fighters, adding that the new radars are under durability tests. :thumbup: Mission: "To intercept and destroy aircraft and airborne missiles in all weather conditions in order to establish and maintain air superiority in a designated area.

Kludo Posted May 20, 2016 Author Posted May 20, 2016 Im really not sure how they would accomplish this. The AWG 9 was only one piece of the puzzle. I guess you could do it, but it would have to interface with the CADC, AWG15, and some other systems that you just cant plug right into. ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ
Paradox Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 Russian radar and equipment on them I could see but do you think it's unlikely that they really have domestically made radars that are better than the AWG-9??
Kludo Posted May 21, 2016 Author Posted May 21, 2016 Paradox - it would be easy to slap anything you want onto that airframe. However integration with existing systems Id be surprised, not much more I can say about that. ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ
