Tomcatter87 Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 I really like the Jordanian livery made by wolfthrower and want to create a mission inspired by the jordanian attacks on ISIL camps back in 2015. However I dont find too many information about weapon loadouts of the Royal Jordanian Air Force. What do they use? IIRC, the often have Aim-120C on the wingtips, I havent seen photos of their F-16s with ECM pod, So I guess centerline tank and/ or empty belly. Then two big fuel tanks. But what would they use for ground attack? Two Mk.84s? Or what about a Targeting pod or smart weapons? Does the RJAF use them? And would you carry additional AIM-9s on the remaining two pylons or leave them empty?

Tomcatter87 Posted July 4, 2022 Author Share Posted July 4, 2022 Yeah, but I like realistic loadouts For example, I mostly fly the F-14 and only tried a 6 x Phoenix loadout once.

I'm like you brother. And now I'm curious. I've only found a pic with 4 Mk.84 and that was circa 2015 after the RJAF pilot was captured. I also found this with an ECM pod: royal jordanian air force f-16 - Bing images Other than this, which you've probably already seen, there are little to no pics of A/G ordnance...crazy!

I feel you, I am on same concept, and try to do the same with every single module I am flying with, try my best to simulate a battle from date of mission, weapons to the weather (if I can find info). Wikipedia is not reliable source and usually have some errors, however it can be a good start to find other resources and links, if you can conduct a research on every single smart weapons in regards to find Jordanian inventory, you may find your answer Edited July 5, 2022 by Raviar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bunny Clark Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 I believe they have mostly been flying with dumb bombs, primarily Mk.84s. I recall reading that the King of Jordan was begging Obama for some guided weapons after Muath al-Kasasbeh was captured and killed. 1 Oil In The Water Hornet Campaign.
