ALQ-67 in the Hornet

[escaner]

In this text (see attachment), "MRT" Fox explains how his Hornet flight had an ALQ-67 pod the night he shot down his MiG-21 in the 1991 Gulf War.

 

Anyone has information about this pod or even pictures? I cannot find much about it.

 

Will there be anything similar to this in the DCS Hornet for immersion recreating these missions?

Maybe a mistake for ALQ-167 ?

Yes, could be a typo. I see that the ALQ-167 is basically a training ECM pod but it was actually used in combat during the Gulf War.

 

Thanks for pointing that out.

 

We are not getting that one in DCS, right?

I'm not a specialist in US ECM PODs, but I read it was designed as modular ECM pod. It can be adapted to different aircrafts and different use.

 

It was in use on Tomcat, Hornet, Intruder.
