Danish Draken History and General discussion of Danish aircraft

[Pheonix_RX01]

A personal topic for the discussion and sharing of the wonderful RDAF vehicles and their history and specs.

Current Danish Air vehicles and their bug reports:

F-35 WDNS-

[DEV] F-35 WDNS отсутствует подвесной контейнер контрмер. (Rough translation the missing MFCD pods as the aircraft is lacking about 100 countermeasures) Community Bug Reporting System

[DEV] F-35 should use Aim 9N-2 Community Bug Reporting System

SAAB F-35 name change Community Bug Reporting System

Saab F-35 Camo is incorrect Community Bug Reporting System

SAAB F-35 WNDS missing “Set point of interest” for CCRP Community Bug Reporting System

are WDNS drakens capable of using bullpups?

[DEV] F-35 should use Aim 9N-2

In this bug report someone mentioned a missing camera view in the comments, so should it have a built in camera view (similar to the one on the AV-8B NA or Q-5L)?

[Pheonix_RX01]

No WDNS had bullpups removed as by the time WDNS was added Bullpups were seen as obsolete for current Danish needs.

Id need to double check its possible the RF-35 models did

Though the person may have confused this with a reddit post where some says its a camera based on how it looks…

To my knowledge no models had a camera but with how the Ferranti LRMTS looks its easy to confuse it for one but the system helps with CCIP as it paints a target and measures the distance.

Speaking of which i need to add a new bug report

Danish Squadron 729 decided recreate the poster for Topgun

[Pheonix_RX01]

This would give sweden a probable 9.x Draken with ground strike munitions, and of course id love more Drakens

Though the WDNS at 10.7 is kinda too high, higher BR than the tornado with more CM’s, 9’L’s ect and same BR as the FG.2 Phantoms lol

F-35 WDNS (Saab F-35) Julemanden's Present

poll [IMG_20201124_0001] History: In 1987 Squadron 729 decided to tread on the steps of making another decorated Draken after Dynamite 6-1 went so well that none of the officers were reprimanded for painting the aircraft without permission. This time it was planned to tape the design to the aircraft as it was to simply wear this guise for some photos for a Christmas card rather than become a fully painted aircraft. The image above actually ended with the photographer getting in trouble as he …

Shamless self plug

its a real shame gaijin frequently forgets that separate br’s exist

[Pheonix_RX01]
