Thanks! Are KRF-16C stripped of all other weapon systems, or are they identical to KF-16Cs other than their ability to carry the ELINT Pod? Added JDAMs, asymetrical AGM-88/65, GBU-10 loadouts, etc, for Database v441. quote:
ORIGINAL: jun5896 19th Fighter Wing, based at Jungwon Air Base 159th Fighter Squadron was changed 159th Tactical Reconnaissance squadron on early 2014(RKF-16C procured in 2012), This squadron employs KF-16C (Block 52), but some F-16C replaced RF-16C. Still 159 TRS is replacing RKF-16C squadron. http://www.f-16.net/units_article385.html When see this page, look tail-wing number ROKAF 93 numbering is 159 FS(Now changed 159 TRS). lig nex1's alq-200k ecm pods - It procured in 2005.(F-4D/E, RF-4C, F-16C/D Block 32 and KF-16C/D Block 52 can equip.) Also I upload some pictures.(First pic is test ALQ-X in 2004) http://english.chosun.com/site/data/html_dir/2011/02/10/2011021000422.html quote from http://tacticalmashup.com/jdam-a-gps-ins-add-on-adds-accuracy-to-airstrikes/ Feb 8/11: F-15K integration. The Chosun Ilbo quotes the South Korean ROKAF, who says it has integrated the 2,000 pound GBU-31 JDAM with its KF-16 fighters, as well as its F-15K “Slam Eagles.” After developing the software, the ROKAF successfully carried out 3 tests, and finished pilot training at the end of January 2011. The report also mentions wing kits, which are absent from normal JDAMs – but not from the 2,000 pound JDAM Extended Range kit, which was being developed by Boeing and South Korea. http://www.defenseindustrydaily.com/south-korea-looking-to-upgrade-its-kf-16s-05404/ http://www.fool.com/investing/general/2015/07/19/lockheed-martins-bill-upgrading-koreas-air-force.aspx ROKAF isn't decided KF-16 upgrade business partner yet. BAE systems withdrew KF-16 upgrade program, Still ROAKF is negotiating with Lockheed Martin.
