The IVEWS test airframe is 98-0004, which appears to be a Block 50 CJ/CM since it frequently carried HTS in photos before:
2025 - with IVEWS installed, and Litening 2022 - with HTS and Sniper 2012 - with HTS, Sniper, ALQ-131, and Have Glass V 2006 - with port-side HTS, and Sniper 2002 - with the original starboard-side HTS, HARM itself, and ALQ-184,
Not seen it with ALE-50, but there are other airframes at 85th TES that do
That would definitely off-set the limited radar of the F-16 lol
If I was more optimistic, I’d consider the possibility of Gaijin giving the 120D the improvements that the C-5 already should have had, but their modeling of missiles always seems a bit random
Yup. I’ve seen HTS with sniper and all of that. AFAIK or have seen none of the SEAD squadrons actually have Viper EW Suite specifically integrated though is what I was getting at compared to the AESA, etc.
The CM’s/CJ’s were a different program than POBIT or CCIP. Appreciate you taking the time to find that. Pretty sure all the CJ/CM’s that were previously in Japan are with the test wing now.
Same with Dragoon as well, no spall liners. I don’t even remember seeing an LWS, which I thought was just part of the MCT-30 system. No airburst as well. Time will tell.
