A DB update for Block 3 F/A-18E/F would be a good addition.

Can you elaborate on this?

Sure. http://www.janes.com/article/78885/us-navy-set-to-launch-super-hornet-block-3-upgrade-with-service-life-modification-contract

Request bump for the Block 3 Super Hornet.

Finland #2372 - 70 Rauma 2013 class should have VDS towed sonar. This patrol craft is the main Finnish anti-submarine ship.

Kongsberg ST2400 Variable Depth Sonar (VDS)

Same sonar will be added to Hamina class (MLU finished after 2021) and four Rauma class will be retired. Also Hamina will receive Swedish Tp 47 systems, because this torpedo is still under construction older Tp 46 will be leased from Sweden.

Suggestion for IRST-21 Legion Pod in DB amendment please?

The F-15C with Legion Pod is already in DB475 but not with its official designation.


From Jane's article it's been officially designated AN/ASG-34.

https://thediplomat.com/2018/06/all-you ... destroyer/

-type 346B radar- compared to 346A- longer range, later generation, possibly S band only
-X band radar- maybe generic advanced x band radar similar to AN/SPQ-9B but 4 faceted
-larger more powerful hull sonar

The B-1B radar is being upgraded to the Northrop Grumman SABR-GS which is a scaled up APG-83. It uses the same software developed by the F-35/F-22 so it can use the modes of operation on the APG-77/81 in addition to the B-1B's own unique modes. The B-1B is also getting upgraded with a Link 16 data link.

Could you add the JASSM-XR to the B-1B, B-52, and B-2 bomber? It's reported to have a 1000 mile range.

F-15C's will be equipped with an IRST Legion pod. Could we see a 2018 or 2020 dated unit for the USAF?

https://defence-blog.com/news/boeing-ag ... ystem.html

Noticed "US" F-4D and Es (and also J/S models) in the 80s are still equipped with AIM9Js and AIM7E/Fs. Wouldn't the 80s loadouts have the 9L/Ms and 7Ms(Ps)?


RAF FG.1s already have 9Ls etc..

thanks for any update to those..

KD-88 AGM and datalink pod for the J-16

About the UK PHantoms, from my personal notes (researched in many books years ago):

- F-4K/FG.1 Royal Navy service (1968-1978): no gun pod carried when in service in RN. RWR added from 1973. Missiles in RN service were at start AIM-7E2 and AIM-9D, AIM-9G employed from circa 1970. Remaining transferred to RAF 1978.

- F-4K/FG.1 RAF service (1978-1990): Added SUU-23 gun pod and Skyflash from RAF transfer in 1978, AIM-9L from 1988.

- F-4M/FGR.2 RAF (1968-1992): SUU-23 gun pod seldom carried. RWR added from 1973. Initial missiles in RAF service were AIM-7E2 and AIM-9D (just as Royal Navy), AIM-9G employed from circa 1970. Skyflash added from 1977 and AIM-9L from 1988.

Request KD-88 loadout for the J-10C.

Are you sure? I can't see the air intake and wings characteristic of the C-802 family

there has been discussions going on in the Chinese military watcher forums and many people were as sceptic as you because of those reasons, me included.

But the size and the cloudy-white seeker kind of fits to the KD-88A ImIR guided variant. This seems to be a training dummy with reduced airframe but equipped with sensors. We have seen similiar ones for the Kh-29T in PLAAF service before.

There already is an F-15C circa 2018 plus Legion Pod in the DB.From 474 onward if not earlier. Only the Legion Pod designation requires a minor update.

In order to build the islands in the Spratlys, the Chinese have constructed some of the largest dredging ships in the world. They're amazing pieces of engineering. They might be a topic for a good futuristic naval scenario.
