[-t-] SG

Can anyone tell me which one is more advanced.
eg. what avionics does the F-16 use...and weapons...everything about the RSAF F-16s, and we will compare them.
because i have some details about the standard of the RMAF Hornets

Let us all cool down first.

CenturionMBT SG

everyone pls ans like a gentlement and not flame ok?

duotiga83 SG

pure specs?

[-t-] SG

i want to have a rational comparision.
i will back up everythihng with facts.
and if the F/A-18, is better after our comparision, u must accept it with an open heart

|-|05| SG

pure specs i think the F-18D will lose....
but the malaysian pliots arent really that good leh....i remember last time they buy the MiG-29 within months something like 3 of them crashed or something

eurofighter SG

F/A-18D has just a ground attack role.
Anyway, it is going to be returned. Compare the super hornet instead.

[-t-] SG

First,

The RMAF F/A-18Ds are standard USMC version...no downgrade.

Gun
20 mm M61A1 Vulcan

Air-To-Air Missiles
AIM-9S Sidewinder
AIM-7M Sparrow

Air-To-Ground Missiles
AGM-65D Maverick
Paveway II LGB
CRV-7 unguided rockets

Anti-Shipping Missiles
AGM-84A Harpoon Block 1C

Equipment
AAS-38 Nite Hawk targeting FLIR pods
Cat's Eyes pilot's night vision goggles
300 lb external fuel tanks

With APG-73 radar and GE F404-GE-402 engine...so it can reach Mach 1.8 from the basic Mach 1.7

Also, they use:
AN/ALE-47 Countermeasures Dispenser System (CMDS)
AN/ALQ-126B Airborne Self-protection Jammer (ASPJ)

Availability is way better than the MiGs...it usually at least 7/8 available

How about the RSAF F-16 Block 52?

duotiga83 SG

most of us have the tech specs......of both planes...unless u got something unclassified info.......

/mi sit down n watch the debate.....

ps: i also have the tech specs.....

|-|05| SG

m’sia returning the hornets?!

[-t-] SG

they recieved the MiGs in 1995...only crashed 1 in 1998.
no hornets were ever lost.

i want the specs for the F-16

[-t-] SG

if they buy the SH, they will trade them in

[-t-] SG

just tell me the avionics suite for the falcons

|-|05| SG

no before 1998 got crash 1 more.....i was in m'sia that time it was in the news...i think was 1996...i remember i not yet sec sch yet and the news said that was the 2nd crash liao so......
and sorry abt the months i wasnt sure when m'sia bought the MiG's
Btw does any1 know if USA released the Aim-120 for us?

spencer99 SG

I think they have to trade-in their old hornet to get a new one.

Similar to giving your 8210 to get a MMS phone. Very Happy

duotiga83 SG

interenet, magazines, books r everiwhere......they r sure to have it somewhere....dun rely on one sources...tts my encouragement...if u wan hard evidences

mi juz wan to c the debate......

[-t-] SG

i can confirm they only crashed one.

go check the database at scramble.nl if u want to sure.
they only lost one in 1998.....for sure

eurofighter SG

F-16 one is so secretive, no one knows. What we have is the estimated one.

spencer99 SG

Do you RMAF have AIM-7, AGM-84 and AGM-65D ???

[-t-] SG

that means u dont know right?
i gave info like radar, engine, counter measures and weapons..can anyone else here more knowledgable tell me?
