However T.12s still didn’t have Mk.107 engines.
There was only one “T.12A” in Joint Force Harrier with the Pegasus 107. That was ZH665.
IIRC there was one more being converted from T.12 to T.12A at the time of Harrier’s retirement, but it wasn’t completed.
The other twin-seater with a 107 was ZH653; BAe’s development aircraft at Warton. That wasn’t a full T.12 and wasn’t part of the JFH fleet.
Question: Have the Harrier GR.7 and T.10 got their correct MAW yet? and if so, is it working properly? I’ve seen some videos recently of rockets/missiles from friendlies trigger the MAW even when the friendly is firing and targeting an enemy so it made me wonder if is fixed yet
Seems to be semi-functional, but I think PD MAWS needs some further refinement, had a few issues on the Typhoon with it just drop flares for a friendly firing nearby
I think we don’t have to worry about that too much IRL. The British claimed that wanted lots of “cheaper” jets in the 90s-2010s but just ended with less than 40 and won’t buy anymore because they are lazy and poor
But as always the question whether it will be done in future is down to money
Certifying ASRAAM for the bays is a whole separate series of trials and associated costs.
