question: does the F-2 have a missle approach warning system?
That is why I criticize 6 ASM and argue for 6 MRM: it is arbitrary after all.
By what can be found online J/ASQ-2 IEWS is capable of detecting, classifying and autonomosly defending from incoming threats but since system is classified there are not “enough” proof for gaijin

JASDF is pretty strick on technical markings, even when it comes to limited time liveries in absolutely most cases all markings are kept in place so I doubt marking for ASM would just randomly be on a pylon that not supposed to carry it. I know you can argue that IRL they never seen carry ASM on stations 5/7 but I have counter argument called operational necessity. Like Su-27 is not supposed to carry AIM-120 or Hammers yet Ukrainian flankers do and it is far from carrying 2 more missiles that are normal weapon for aircraft in question

In this way, the pamphlet is adopted as a historical document through a counterargument that is not a refutation.
Yeah, but unlike brouchures this technical markings are linked to maintenance and pilot manuals

Any reports accepted
It is not a historical document to interpret it however you like.
Right now M61A2 weights only 102 kg, for comparison M61A1 is 500 kg

Is the cannon change just x-ray or did the F-2 really shave ~400 kg, aka buff to FM, along with the other FM changes which seem to be buffs overall

Do you think there will be a pre-order for the F-2A ADTW?
It also has a higher firerate - 6600 RPM compared to 6000 RPM.

I doubt it because difference should be only 20 kg (112 to 92 kg), I think they just forgot that ammo also weights a lot

From futher research on J/ASQ-2 I hit a wall. From all sources I found, all of which are at best secondary, non has any concrete details. In general it doesn’t really has MAWS, at least it cannot be proved, but it can identify incoming radar guided missile and deploy CMs as well as jam hostile radar sources. J/APR-4A RWR is seems to be pretty similar to base model just fully digital and with better CPU (tho I think there are RWR antennas on bottom side of the F-2). So it is faster and probably more preciese, but by all accounts it is still C-J band only. Mainly it was modernised to be integrated with J/TEWS of the F-15J
