It weighs 8Kg
Impossible
is that an artwork ?
yes.
Biggest clue being ALARM, which was never mounted on a EF
yea and i think even the paveways are blocking the landing gear doors.
well. Was mounted, but intergration was canceled as the ALARM were retired before it officially happened. Gunna be interesting to see what the devs do, because we have 2 contradictory evidence and depends on precisely what they consider “enough” for inclusion in game

What anti radiation missile does ef use then?
EK is planned to be equipped with AGM-88E.
Spear-EW is in development iirc.
But usually just Brimstone 2/3s. for SEAD With supporting Tornados operating ALARM/AGM-88. Which does kinda make sense. Why dispatch a Typhoon with 2x ALARM, when you could deploy a Tornado GR4 with 9x ALARM.
At least until its retirement.

Not everyone runs ARM’s, particularly since for the last 30 years, most nations had no reason to need ARM’s considering most poor people in middle eastern countries are notably devoid of high power radar and capable long range GBAD systems. US needed/needs them cuz they’re in the business of invading countries they don’t like every few weeks, but most other nations havent really done much with ARM’s beyond maybe buy them from the US to retain the capability and knowhow to some degree. The other available PGM’s are typically good enough to deal with the target set that existed in the majority of conflicts since the fall of the soviet union.
Now that the politicians of the world are gearing up for more wars to distract the public from them and the other ultra wealthy robbing us all blind, countries are starting to look into how to fight things slightly more advanced than a couple guys with improvised explosives and AK’s, so ARM integration and EW aircrafts are making a bit of a comeback.

Which changes every 30 seconds.
Yeah…
Direct specification from Leonardo unless you’re suggesting that it it could be a clear marketing lie?
Practically, if that is full of electronics, there is no way it weighs 8kg. OSF is 87 and OLS-35 is 83. It’s probably 80 - i’ve seen worse typos.
Then again looking through the part 1 we have:
48???
60???
so who even knows
