So ive done some research and figured out that the F-16C Block 50 should get the AGM-88 upon the ARM arrivals. As it has been around since the early 80’s. And been on F-16’s since the 80s, preferably the not highly upgraded version (AARGM-88G-ER) and more preferably the AGM-88C
And also with the confirmation of the AIM-120D making its arrival, the F-16C Block 50 either needs its upgrade (Block 52 F-16CM) or it needs to be highly upgraded to simple standards. I shouldnt be at 13.7 with AIM-120A’s
The AIM-120C is a need for the BVR phases ahead of us. Atleast give it its real medium range missile.
and the change on the AIM-9L/M pylon is needed, it isnt the correct version, only blocks below 30 use those pylons. The correct pylon is the LAU-129.
The AIM-9X upon arrival should ALSO come to the F-16C Block 50 as that is upon its armament
Along with the AGM-88 we would need the HTS pod on the F-16, (AN/ASQ-218)
And then either the CM block 52 comes and gives us aj AESA radar or not
