What year was the UH-60 and AB-412 offered? I don’t remember hearing about those.

Well right before he was overthrown, the Shah had some pretty impressive weapons on order such as the E-3A Sentry,C-5A Galaxy,Sea Harriers. They helped finance(and ordered as well) the AH-1W SuperCobra and what would become the Challenger tank. IIRC, they also had 2x Invincible Class CVs on order for the Sea Harriers as well. Thy also evaluated the A-10 Warthog and were offered A-4M Skyhawk IIs ,so theres some more possibilities.

The USCG HH-65A&B models are based on the AS-365N, but the C&D models have the longer radar nose of the AS-565.

AFIK Israel doesn’t use the AS.15TT. The Missile requires a triangular radome for the Agrion 15 radar installed under the nose. So far the only examples I’ve seen that carry this are the ones from Saudi Arabia, and the UAE.

Already been done, Boeing re-engined it with 2xGarrett TFE731-3A turbofans and made the Boeing Skyfox.

Looks like the Mi-24VM with the 23mm gun, FLIR, but no intake covers? I know the old Mi-24Ds didn’t have them, but I thought all the newer production models did? Did they decided to do away with them again?

Indonesia’s Defense Minister Purnomo Yusgiantoro has confirmed Jakarta’s interest in getting eight Apache helicopters.

Govt to Buy Leopard Tank and Apache Helicopter

Based on the article’s mention of “buying from Europe” and Leopard 2 tanks,I’m wondering if they are surplus Netherlands models. If so,I’m wondering in the Apaches are are from the Netherlands as well?

The Tornado ECR was proposed to the USAF as a replacement for the F-4G,but not taken up.

The Victor B.1 was ordered by the South African AF,but the UK goverment at the time cancelled the order right as the planes were on the productionline.

Germany looked at buying some S-3A Vikings to replace their Gannets but went with the Br.1150 Atlantic.

The Canadians looked at buying the HH-60 Maplehawk before going with the CH-149.They also looked at buying a SAR model of the CH-47 at about the same time.

Some more proposels for today:

Spain-Wanted KC-135s but ended up with KC-97Ls

Spain-Looked at getting the F-4E but in the end,didn’t.This maybe linked to them going with the Mirage F.1 instead.

Thailand-Looked at buying the EH101 for VVIP but went with the S-92.

Mexico-Looked at buying the IAI Kfir but was blocked by the US (because of the US built engine) but then allowed to buy US supplied F-5E/Fs.

South Africa-Evaluated both the Lightning and the F-104 before selecting the Mirage III.

New Zealand-Had the chance to pick up some mothballed F-16A/Bs but shortly there after did away with their combat ability.

Germany-Versions of both the AH-1 Cobra and AH-64 Apache were proposed for the PAH-2 role,Germany went with the EC-665.

Greece-Wanted the EF2000 for awhile,I believe they even ordered it,but I think financial issues got in the way.

Lebanon-Wanted Mig-29s and they’re getting Mi-24s.

Canada-Wanted the C-141 and even assigned it a designation,the CC-141,but the order was cancelled.

Iraq-I’ve read that Iraq,back before Gulf War I was looking at a second order of Mig-29s but didn’t like the downgraded export models they were getting,so they ordered more Mirage F.1s instead.

South Korea-Was interested or possibly ordered a model of the Bronco called the OV-10G,from what I’ve read,based on the OV-10D.As far as I know it’s never entered service or the order was cancelled.

France-Evaluated the F-4 but prefered the F-8 due to its ability to land on smaller carriers.

France-Evaluated the F-15 but decided to go with the local Mirage 2000

Australia was offered an F-4C model,powered by Atar 9 engines since the engine was already in service on the Mirage IIIOs.They passed,and probably a good thing too as it would have been severely underpowered.
