HI

Is it true that the Jagaur GR.1A is not able to buddy illuminate with ARI.12321/3 LST (Laser Spot Tracker)?

I would like to illuminate the Harriers with GBU--16B/B onboard [:@]

Yes. LSTs are passive laser devices, they detect targets being illuminated by active laser emitters (LGB seekers are essentially miniaturized LSTs).

IIRC the only RAF aircraft in DS with self-lazing capability were Buccaneers with Pave Spikes, and towards the end some Tornados with TIALD pods literally rushed from the test lab.
