sidewinder89 Posted March 4, 2008 Report Posted March 4, 2008 Poichè l'USAF ha deciso di non acquistare il Block 60, i Block 50-52 sono stati resi compatibili con l'aim-9x come è accaduto per i super hornet della navy? vengono utilizzati in ambito operativo? vi ringrazio anticipatamente per la risposta....
paperinik Posted March 5, 2008 Report Posted March 5, 2008 (edited) Eccoti la foto di un F-16 stanziato nella base aerea di Kunsan, mentre testa l'impiegabilità del Sidewinder Aim-9X http://www.af.mil/shared/media/photodb/pho...F-8362B-149.jpg Questa la didascalia della foto: "An F-16 Fighting Falcon pilot shoots an AIM-9 missile Feb. 28 over the South Korean peninsula. The Air Intercept Missile-9X Sidewinder, developed by Raytheon engineers, is a fifth generation AIM-9 missile that is a substantial upgrade to the Sidewinder family featuring an advanced infra-red seeker and a higher off-bore sight capability. The F-16 pilot is assigned to the 35th Fighter Squadron from Kunsan Air Base, South Korea." Edited March 5, 2008 by paperinik
