Product description ■ The former West German Air Force had planned to switch from the F-7G to the Tornado IDS (jointly developed by the United Kingdom, Germany and Italy) in the first half of the 1970 s. However, due to the delay in the development, we will consider adopting the F-4, which was proposed by the United States as a lightweight and simplified model.
Initially, we considered a single-seat model, but based on the results of the RF-4E introduced earlier, we returned it to a double-seat model.
Thus, the F-type model was adopted by the West German Air Force. However, because it was equipped with a simple radar without illuminator function, the AIM-7 Sparrow cannot be operated. It is equipped with an air-to-air system with only the AIM-9 and machine guns.
In addition, we have reduced the weight by removing one in-flight fuel supply system and one in-flight fuel tank.
Externally, the F-4F is equipped with a movable leading-edge slat, and a stabilizer (tail stabilizer) without a fixed slat.
In 1983, the F-4F is equipped with two combat bombing wings and two interceptor wings.
In order to improve out-of-sight look-down / shoot-down capability, the F-4F is equipped with a movable leading-edge slat, and two interceptor wings.
In order to improve out-of-sight look-down / shoot-down capability, the F-4F is equipped with an AN/APG-65GY radar, making it possible to operate the AIM-120AMRAAM.
In the Combat Effectiveness Improvement (ICE) Plan, the radar equipment will be replaced with an AN/APG-65GY, making it possible to operate the AIM-201AMRAAM.
For air defense, the F-4F is equipped with two combat bombing wings and two interceptor wings. In order to improve out-of-sight look-down / shoot-down capability, the F-4F 104 175 110 1985 2013
