topol-m Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 (edited) I think they are Sparrows, AAM-4s have shorter frontal fins. AAM-4: This is exactly, how you fly the F-2 ;). :laugh: :thumbup: Edited November 10, 2011 by topol-m [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryyy Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Question. Is the T-4 a direct variant of the A-4 somehow? T-4 is made by Kawasaki and the A-4 Douglas if I'm not mistaken, but they seem very similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topol-m Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Never heard of it being developed from the A-4. AFAIK it's completely indigenous. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sawamura Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Neat! Just found those on my abonents. Speaking of F-2. In Matsushima airbase, that got hit from the Tsunami around 9 month ago, 6 F-2 will be repaired. The other 12 are going to be "recycled". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikoyan Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Are those strips on the f-15 wings reinforcements? I have a 1/48 scale model of the f-15e and that one doesn't have them; I haven't seen an f-15 on static display here; so I don't know if the American F-15 have those. Quite cool how neat and clean it looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite cool how neat and clean it looks. I searched by Japanese Google, but could not get any information about unknown stripes. The followings are some photos that taken in Hyakuri AB. I can see unknown stripes. The first one is same ship. [22-8940] ....and the following is taken in Komatsu AB. There are some stripes. Yes, we can see some number difference in above photos. I imagine that there is some possibility of difference between MSIP and Pre-MSIP ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeCa_Chuck Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 F-2A/B can carry a 300 gallon external fuel tank at under the fuselage.(It's the same of F-16) And 600 gal tanks are loaded at under the wing. AFAIK, JASDF does not have 370 gal tank for F-2. Here is the F-2A/B loadout map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[ATTACH]59710[/ATTACH] In addition there is a program undergoing which goal is to upgrade the F-2's J/APG-1 AESA radar and avionics to allow the use of AAM-4 medium range air-to-air missiles. I don't know when is this program planned to be completed, it would probably require several years upgrade the whole F-2 fleet.
