A upgraded F-5 Freedom Fighter/Tiger II done by SOGERMA (Now Stelia Aerospace), a aeronautics firm based in France for the Royal Moroccan Air Force. Morocco used F-5A’s, B’s, E’s & F’s prior to the modernization package done from 1998 up to 2004. The upgrades includes the following
Head Mounted Display
A Grifo Radar, more specifically the Grifo F/X plus
Improved RWR & A different CM setup including the ability to use ECM
A new mounting pylon for the AN/AAQ-28 Litening. It also means it can use Guided bombs such as the Paveway bombs
More recent versions of existing weapons for existing weapons such as up to AIM-9M’s for AAM’s (can also use AIM-9P’s & L’s) and AGM-65D’s G’s & H’s
If France should had a Premium F-5 it should have being this instead of the NF-5A or the very least the F-5TIII two seater variant since the upgrades were done by the French. Would also greatly compliment Moroccan Alpha Jets (which were based off of the French E variants) btw Moroccan Alpha Jets can use Maverick AGM’s as well as the Modernized Mirage F-1’s known as the “MF2000 ASTRAC”
Croatia was an Axis country in WW2 and operated a lot of German equipment including Bf 109s, Bf 110s, Do 17s, Ju 87s, Ju 52s, Fi 156s, Fi 167s (the only operator outside of Germany), Bü 131s and Bü 137s.
Tanks and armoured vehicles from Germany were also used, including Panzer Is, Panzer IIIs, Panzer IVs, StuG IIIs, Sd. Kfz. 221s, Sd.Kfz. 251s, and various light vehicles such as the Opel Blitz and Kübelwagen.
Following the capitulation of France and later Italy, they also received a lot of equipment from these countries via Germany.
I don’t think it’s a big problem, I mean we got such stuff before, like Ariete AMV, Challenger 3 or even just trialed stuff.
Anyway they could also just add Spike ER2 with longer range for AH-129D, while we are waiting for Fenice.
