that’s is still a modification, and he does not infer is as an overhaul. but it still is.
i get it that pointing out other mistake and correcting them but you went to hell and back with accusation here.

I unironically found this cause of trying to find more info about the F-4EJ and Kai xD
So we came to the point that official manuals are lying lol

They never have been fitted on the aircraft.
Try searching it up, anyone can claim that it carried them, there is not a single picture proving it.
only missiles the T-2 carried was a AIM-9B, E and P and a mock-up AAM-1.
so what you are saying is that the Japanese is lying that they never intended to have the T-2 using AIM-9L?
oh and people already said this but some F-15J did have IRST

I took the above photos at Komatsu during the JASDF’s annual Fighter Meet in June 1982. Please note the British- made CBLS-200 dispenser pod for training use under the fuselage.
I assume these are pylons for AIM-9B’s
This F-86F carried a dust collecting pod under the inboard right pylon under the wing. The similar dust collecting pods are still used with Kawasaki T-4 jet trainer when nuclear tests are done by North Korea. These photos were taken at Iruma in August 1976.
Source for all of this I found List of JSDF aircraft

And what? Photo of T-2 even with any AIM-9 is very rare and mostly missiles was carried on F-1 but fact that they’ve not attached it doesn’t mean it can’t be used especially if manual says it can

Just because it “could” doesn’t mean it did.
Same thing with that there is no mention of GCS-1 bombs in the EJ Kai’s flight manual.
Yet people like Saryn claim it can carry and use them.
Same goes for the JDAMS, he also claims that the EJ Kai can use them yet it cant.
Through its service the T-2 was never seen with a AIM-9L thus it never carried them.
just a prototype / demonstrator nothing more.
F-1 at Misawa Airshow not sure what year sadly (on the site im on doesnt say)
Update: seems 1994/1995 (some photos show 94 and 95)

Do you have EJ Kai flight manual?
Without jokes, I would really love to see it especially full variant to understand how it worked
They are fully a self contained guidance kit, so as long as an aircraft can carry either Mk.82 or JM117 bombs, as well as fit the added size and weight of the guidance kit, it can carry GCS-1.
The F-4s can do this.
Going by size and weight constraints that is a theoretical limit of 15 Mk.82 GCS-1
And going by this setup, up to 5 JM117 GCS-1. I don’t know if more fit the MERs because I couldn’t find any proof.

isnt this still classified?
This post was flagged by the community and is temporarily hidden.
Hence why I am calling Saryn out on his claims of it being capable of carrying it.
they only fly with inert AAM-3’s for demostrations.
AAM-3 is service armament of the F-4EJ Kai, so you mean AAM-4?
