I assume the weapon is carried on the centerline when a bit more range is needed?

I’d like to see some pictures of IDF’s with various A/G stores such as the AGM-65, and any other weapons besides Mk-82’s and Mk-84’s that I’m not aware of. Seems like those are probably pretty rare.

Thanks for the link by the way..I actually had seen that site not too long ago. Got some good info on it.

You would not see those photos due to some reasons:

1. ROCAF only have one laser guided bomb, Pave way I and rarely shown with aifcrafts. I only saw photos with F-5E printed in a book.

2. Other than those you already listed, no other A/G weapons really declared IOC with IDF. Also, ROCAF really relies on F-16 to do A/G missions.

Something a little bit off topics. If anyone of you came across China’s forums or articles, they use facts and misleading information to describe IDF. To the engine, they always emphasis it’s for civil, not military. They all made mistake on the radar which developed from and made all kind of funny judgment based on this wrong idea. They even said IDF was crashed becuase Taiwan had no wind tunnels so the design was flaw. Any excuse you could image, you could find it over there. 😀

If you want, I can post the interview with the designer (But it is in chinese, you’ll need a translater)…….

Go ahead to post it if not too much trouble to you. Or just the link. Thx.

I don’t need a translator.

surely you have heard about janes quitely pulling the seeker story after everyone allegidly involved denied the claim, after serveral years of denals from the chinese side i might add. :rolleyes:

Everyone denied? You probably haven’t read some articles included information from Russian said the co-development of SD-10/PL-12. The same things have been reported couple years last and this year.
