With the recent launch of French SSN Suffren, first of the Barracuda class, some additional data came out in the specialized press, such as this article. The bulk of it is behind a paywall though I have the full text saved.
In particular, the weapon loadout is clearly stated to be 20 in the magazine + 4 in the tubes. Currently the DB (build 477) shows 16 rounds in the Barracuda magazine, which should be therefore corrected.
The RAAF is considering repurposing a number of Northrop Grumman AAQ-28(v) Litening targeting pods for use on its Lockheed Martin C-130J-30 fleet.
The pods were acquired some years ago as part of the incremental Hornet Upgrade (HUG) program undertaken on the RAAF’s F/A-18A/B ‘Classic’ Hornet fleet. But with the Hornet now preparing to leave service the pods will become surplus to requirements, as the F/A-18F Super Hornet and EA-18G Growler use the rival Raytheon AAQ-228 Advanced Targeting Forward Looking Infrared (ATFLIR) pod and the F-35A Lightning II has an in-built Electro-Optical Targeting System.
Australia's F/A-18Fs have had ATFLIRs replaced with Litening pods; I'm not sure who suggested this, but it's incorrect
Egypt has already received its first few MiG-29M2.
Please consider adding the following for Mediterranean scenarios...

Hey Zaslon,
Do you mean this post?
If so a large part of the reason why it's not been completed is the formatting and lack of detail. Database updates already take a long time to actually do, and that's when all the information is laid out for us. When requests are basically 'this is wrong, go read a webpage I linked to see what needs doing' it can massively increase the amount of time it takes to figure out what needs to be changed and then go and do it. When I see a ticket like that the first thing I think is 'this is going to take me an hour to figure out what this person actually wants' which is quickly followed by 'my time could probably be better spent on a different ticket'.
This post and this post are both examples of excellent formatting and detail--as such the tickets assigned to both have already been completed. The information is laid out in a logical manner, and references are included as actual references, not just 'go read this' links.
This thread, on average, generates literally dozens of hours of development work every day. If you really want something, putting some effort into making it easy for us to do drastically increases the chances of it happening. Complaining that your request hasn't been done and taking shots at us for doing other stuff in the mean time doesn't really have the same effect.
