schroedi Posted March 22, 2020 Posted March 22, 2020 I just discovered that the AI F-16A (non MLU model) has ordnance it shouldn't have, like Aim-120B, LANTIRN, LGBs and maybe other stuff.
mvsgas Posted March 22, 2020 Posted March 22, 2020 What is a: "non MLU model"? ROCAF F-16A had AIM-120 capabilities long before they receive the structural mid life updates they are now getting. Mid Life Update (MLU) was an extensive structural update given to some F-16A/B to increase the amount of flying hours the air frame could do before the aircraft where discarded. Since the MLU update was extensive, many countries (but not all) choose to include other updates during the MLU, ie Pacer series of upgrades/updates. Some countries choose different capabilities, different RWR packages, some removed drag chutes, engine where updated, etc. To whom it may concern, I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that. Thank you for you patience. Many people don't want the truth, they want constant reassurance that whatever misconception/fallacies they believe in are true..
schroedi Posted March 22, 2020 Author Posted March 22, 2020 As you say Taiwan's F-16s are modified, the F-16A we have is available to US, so not a ROCAF variant, therefore it shouldn't have Aim-120 etc
mvsgas Posted March 23, 2020 Posted March 23, 2020 Here are some non MLU F-16A with AIM-120 US ANG AMI http://www.f-16.net/g3/f-16-photos/album37/album46/abd To whom it may concern, I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that.
