The outer wing HP usually carry a Barracuda NG and either a Phimat chaff or Magic 2 AAM.
The conformal decoy pods (x2) carry either 126 40mm chaff or 56 60mm flares.
In conjunction with the Sherloc RWR, EW is first rate.
The dual GPS/laser guided GBU-49 have been in use since last year. The Damocles has replaced the ATLIS targeting pod – this adds FLIR. They have also been fitted to view FLIR imagery through the HUD and are fitted with NVG – again the night fighting capability is as good as anything else of similar ilk.
They can carry the ASMP nuclear missile, CRM280 conformal cameras, Exocet anti-shipping missile.
However if fitted with ATLIS/Damocles or ASMP or CRM280 cameras or Exocet or AS.30L the guns are replaced by avionics.
They were looking at IDM datalink and Mica IR – both are unlikely.
SEM are modernised attack aircraft – they are doing an excellent job of holding the line until the Rafale F3 enter service.
