The MB-339A's Wikipedia cites Jane's as sayin that the MB-339 was capable of carrying AIM-9 and R.550 missiles.

Reading another thread that listed planned weaponry both of these items were not mentioned and I wanted to know if these weapons were being planned?

If so would they be implemented in their full capacity, or in a limited short range rear aspect only mode as the C-101 and LZ-39 currently have with their Magics, Sidewinders, and R-60's?

Hi,

the MB-339A is not able to carry IR missiles like AIM-9 or Magic.

IR Missile implementation was only tested in this aircraft version but it never entered into service. Only later MB-339 versions (like C or CD) are able to carry them (together with other guided weapons and countermeasures).

Is the C/ CD models under consideration?  I love this plane but would like to see a model with better avionics and weapon capabilities.

Thanks
