Not really a trouble
In theory there was chances to broke cover, which will go into engine, but as i know that was because of KC-135, not AAR probe itself
From home of M.A.T.S.
To extend the range and time on station of the Tomcat, a refueling probe was included in the F-14’s design. The refuelling probe is not fixed, but retractable. The refueling probe bay door was deleted on those F-14s delivered to the Imperial Iranian Air Force and later it was removed on those Tomcats flying missions in the Gulf war in 1991. The reason for this is that the refuelling probe bay door might have caused problems when being refuelled by US Air Force tankers. Remember that USAF tankers usually have a fix connection to the refuelling USAF aircraft unlike the US Navy refuelling system that uses a loose hose connection.
The MIM-23 Hawk surface-to-air missile and the 750-pound class M117 bomb combined to create an air-to-surface weapon called Yasser for the Iranian Air Force’s F-14A Tomcats.
I’d expect the market price to be fairly significant, considering how strong the F90 missile is shaping up to be, and the inherent popularity of the F-14.
It might be cheaper to GE the tasks rather than buy off the market straight.
Supposedly they will be amending the weight of the missile to match sources. This means the total mass should increase by 1kg, and the empty weight after sustainer burn would be approximately 9.835kg less than it is currently. This is a very slight buff if they implement the change properly.
