RAAF use GBU-53/B for F-35A only
I guess devblog RAAF F/A-18F upgrade to Block III standard.
But the US Navy F/A-18E Block II close to Block III
AIM-9X Block I or Block II on wings ?
Unless I missed something in reading, I believe the Blog says the UK one is block 2, and that’s where they ended it’s naming.
There’s ordnance that —allegedly— the F/A-18F is able to use whereas the E can’t.
Plus, the 18F is getting a combined CFT/IRST pod named AN/ASG-34.
The 18E is getting it as well this update.
Did they say if it was a visual placeholder or actually going to be functioning this update?

Currently it is a placeholder on the 18F. Should be coming to the 18E later on.
