The F-16 typical combat radius is only 925 km not be able to 1000+ km.
If my memory is right, the information concerning F-2’s combat radius is >833km, which could means almost reach 900km or 850km.
DD:
When we say typical combat radius, we means the fighter carries criterial weapon load performing normal flight profile.
Varient fighters has own criterial weapon load, for Mitsubishi F-2 is with 2×2270 liters external fuel tanks and 4×ASMs and 4×a2a missles for self-defense to performing H-L-H profile.
If there is no particuliar point, each combat radius edited in book or internet is a normal or H-L-H profile.
Concerning EF, detailed datum poit out its normal combat radius 1389 km is under such condition:
7 AAMs, one designator pod, 3 paveway bombs, in which we don’t know what’s sort of external fuel tanks it carried, but obviously the designator pod was loaded at one of AAM hardpoint beside inlet and one of three paveway bomb must be loaded centreline under fuselage.
Although I have no batter impression for the EF, but what we can confirm the typical combat radius for the EF is really larger than Mitsubishi F-2.
