At 12.3 BR

For M-346FA only capable with MRAAM. but M-346FT limited IR AAM

I just know that Typhoon FGR.4, EF-2000 Tranche 4 and JAS39 Gripen C MS20 & Gripen E from swedish equipped Litening 5

I wonder Litening 5 targeting pod with 3th gen or 4th gen or 5th gen thermal

Thanks, 2AAMs and some hydras on LAVI are better than nothing,
and maverick is from this source mostly: M-346 Master Advanced Fighter Trainer | Thai Military and Asian Region

It would be hard to see Fox-3 that low, F-14 with brick missiles at 12.3 is very controversial. M346FA have much better missiles

Yep, typo :c

Well there’s always another route it could go… (looks at Yak-141)

That goober of a plane has a whole-ass 6-head

I need It!

+1 from me. the smaller nations can always use more unique aircraft.

Yes! I think premium, but higher than 11.3 (like 11.7?) with AIM-9L(I). Ideally paired with the Russian counterpart, the Yak-130, which has R-73s. The 346FA would be tech tree imo with the Yak-131
Also for Israel, and Poland eventually

Are you sure? I may not be the most well versed on this aircraft and its variants, but from what I’ve read and seen, it should be able to carry a bit more than 2 if needed.
The images in your suggestion depict the M-346 carrying air to air missiles on the underwing pylons, but seemingly they can carry them on the wingtip stations if needed.

The Aim-9L/M and IRIS-T seemingly weigh around 90kgs, so they can fit on the outer pylons if I’m not mistaken.

also micas? lol

yeh i photoshopped it my bad

I think all this is for the M346FA which is the fighter attack variant but I never knew they would show micas with it

Ah I see, is a different variant, and an attack variant at that. That makes much more sense then lol. Thanks for the clarification.

You showed all M346FA, this is further evolution equiped with radar and Wingtip missile racks(this give it ability to have 4 IR or ARH missiles)

Just out of curiosity: are you going to suggest the M346FA aswell? It’s in service with the :reparto sperimentale di volo" and i think it could be added.
