didnt israel get APG-82v1 for their F-15I’s?
no we dont have F-15I equiped with AN/APG-82s none of Ra´am in service have it sadly and this is a problem.
Really? There are some articles from 2016 about APG-82v1 being selected
The enemy’s new fifth-generation fighter has leveled the playing field.
Details are few, but you can be sure we no longer possess the technological advantage.
Success, now more than ever, comes down to the man or woman in the box.
ECM and it will probably come the same update SEAD does. With the new SAMs being what they are and with even more advanced ones coming in the next updates SEAD seems like the next logical progression for a new mechanic.
(Especially if its something gaijin knows they can sell and make a profit off of it)

problem with ECM is that even older systems on 3rd gens are in some cases still classified
and even more so on modern planes
Ah ok fair enough

nope none of them have APG-82s you can ask to yoyolast or even surbaissemaxxing if dont trust on me, it was just an article that proposal was cancelled after that and just few months ago was aproved the modernization to the standards of the future F-15IA (EX) but the IA would enter in service around 2030 soo… we expect to see the Ra´ams getting upgraded around that time.

They’ve also given the Rafale HMD it “tested” and a missile configuration only used on a foreign model. So. I dont think that really matters.
Besides. I think Germany has begun deployment and may have a few operational aircraft, Britian waited for the better Mk2 but has been fully tested and the upgrades will begin soon and I think Italy has decided to go with the Mk2 which is why they also waited.
I dont think anywhere they have stated that the radar has to be in operational service, like everything else, tested is more that enough and it is really the only option for Germany and Italy and whilst Britain could get a soviet C&P from india, it would be stupid to deny Italy and Germany something because Brtiain got AESA from teh soviets or to give Italy and Germany CAPTOR-E and deny it to Britain.
and if nothing else, as we have seen with things like Paveway IVs, Brimstones, Aim-9Ms, Aim-120C5s and even maybe GBU-64s… Kuwait Typhoons having CAPTOR-E would have probably been more than enough.
Your right. Here’s the thing though. Israel already has an AESA jet, and they never said anything platform specific iirc
Maybe there are more advanced AESA kfir variants Israel can get
AFAIK we Luftwaffe already have the first (if not more) Tranche 4 with Mk.1 in service.
yes but its not a tech tree one we are talking about tech tree one and also 4++ with AESA radar, the C10 Block 60 its still and 3 gen platform with 4 or 4+ technology but even having that its not even close in performance, missile capacity and many other things, and the C-10 Block 60 its the last Kfir variant in the world there´s no other better variant than this one sadly and gaijin nerfed it to the floor.
Yep. i think I recall a news article somewhere about that. Probably not going to be front line ready for a while iirc, but yeah. definetly remember something about them having a few already
They pick and choose what applies to “tested”, weaponry is already a thing that falls under tested or even just being “capable”. For example German Mig-29 having R-27Es despite never having even ordered it. Just saying that I have not seen any indication that they have done this in the past when it came to sensors.
Actually, it has been around since early 2024 already;

Probably because it hasnt come up. Their official reason for the PIRATE is to create some uniqueness between airframes, which was lost with all the C&P weapons.
Yep. So that is at the very least Germany ticked off the list going from tested to in-service.
and before someone says “but its a T4 Typhoon and we only have T2s”. We’ve got Primary docs for compatibility. Literally the only ones that cant be upgraded are T1s
and that dosent matter since all EFs in game are T2s
Kinda my point
technically the german one is T3 until they change the camo to a EF that is actually a T2 Blk10
or they just change the statcard to T3, wouldnt make a a difference ingame anyways
