Was supposed to have radar installed with the internal guns. The issue was with the Aden 25s not working properly so got binned rather than hold back the plane’s development - (which we know gaijin overlooks for the Harrier GR.7’s Aden 25s) - not that the internal guns preclude the radar fit

No or at least I don’t think it will as it’s got the in built 25mm Aden’s

That’s good then 25mm Aden is pretty good as well IIRC

I’m not actually sure if the inbuilt 25mm preclude the 30mm or not as I don’t know enough about the 30mm gunpod the hawks use
Not really, weaker engines and lower top speed (96kN for the Shar vs 26kN for the Hawk 200 & 1145kph for the Shar vs. 1037 kph for the hawk.)
We’ll see soon enough
Awesome! And useful it’s got the takeoff thrust because those should be the installed numbers for the engine.
The graph says “no losses” so it’s probably uninstalled.
Don’t give us ideas to suggest the Matra Magic
The Hawk 100 & 200 both had the option of a FLIR + LRMTS nose, not aware of either the 100 or 200 having the ARBS camera of the Harrier GR.7 though.
Yeah but that looks to be ZJ201 which hasnt got the inbuilt 25’s definitely the same pod the T1A uses though
It may not have precluded the use of the gun pod, but none of the Hawk 200 brochures i’ve seen advertise a gun pod. Instead they make a big deal about how the built in cannons mean the pod is not required anymore (so they probably thought it was redundant to advertise it even if it could still technically be used).
Why not lol if it could carry it stick on I say.
Aiming the 25 and 30 is going to be a nightmare lol
it’s a tail numberless mockup, similar KSS001
Yeah that’s the vibe I got hense I’m not sure lol if the gunpod is totally self contained I don’t see why it wouldn’t be possible to have both the 25’s and 30
