Alpha Jet ICE and other variants?

yea

I don’t expect it to happen either, but I still think it should.

at least getting the alpha jet late means it isn’t power creeped like many other planes around this br.

Patch is live, Alpha Jet A engines got updated to Larzac 04-C6. No change in thrust though, which isn’t unexpected. Sadly the CRV7 rockets didn’t get added.

Similar how they changed the engine of the german F-104G to the MTU J79 J1K but didnt change its thrust?

I thought they did change the thrust though?

Nope, just the name. The thrust is still the same as the J79 GE-11 or whatever engine it had before

Well, yeah, just like that then

There is a document claiming the reason there was no a2a missile for alpha jet is that it burned up the tail.

This is the international forum you need to use English.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t care, that’s the rules of the forum.

Not operationally, but it was tested.

Not exactly a variant of the Alpha Jet but there’s the AT-63 Pampa III. An upgraded strike model of the IA-63 Pampa (an Argentine trainer/light strike aircraft loosely based on the Alpha Jet developed by FAA and Dornier), it introduces a RWR, built-in countermeasure dispensers, laser designator, and AAM carriage. Unfortunately I can’t find information on what AAM it carries, but presumably it’s AIM-9Ls which are the most common (though not most modern) AAMs in Argentine service.
Anyways could be a potential alternative to the ICE/KWS .

damn snail that denied more argentine vehicles in gsrmany

Is bs

the way I understood it Smin got fed up with us asking for everything

he denied the entirety of Argentina but said that the vehicles that were added were because they had ties to Germany

now that alpha has ties to france so there is where it’ll probably go if it’ll be added at all

Why to france? Germany has with donier as much as a france a claim to different alpha jet variants which aren’t used or developed only by france?

now that’s the problem

france did every finished upgrade to the AlphaJet because Dornier stopped existing in 2002, before any of the advanced upgrades were finished

I think the problem is that he pampa is based on an alpha jet, its an design inspiration designed together with dornier.
BUT it is not an alpha jet, it is smaller etc
So thats why they might be confused.
You say it would go to france but has nothing to do with france anymore
