Hi!
Special thanks to Florian who did the first mod of su-25 for SF2. All data files been taken from there. Also credits goes to Stary and Comrade. While making this mode, i used some files made by them.
This model comes from a freeware source, and is used in several other games. Only some small details like drag chute, animation etc are done by me. 
And thanks to Thirdwire for this sim.
THIS IS A FREEWARE. COMMERCIAL USE IS NOT ALLOWED!
Enjoy!

YAK-130 skin pack - PART 2
This skin pack took a longer time than I previously calculated because of the holiday and the pandemic, of course. I want to thank to our estimeed collegue and friend Ludo.m54 who found time , between his valuable projects, to design four superb skins for this pack. The second pack gets two whatif skins (Paran and Argentinian). Paran skin was a request of one of my friends who's been a good boy all this time (you're welcome!). The other skins are expo skins (red/white demo/green), two Russian skins (camo 1/camo2) and one Laos skin.
Later I will update the (second) skin pack with ECM pod skins to match each new skin colore made in this pack, as I did in the first pack.
Enjoy and let me know what you think about them in the commentary section.

@ paulopanz

In '70 AMI and KLU due the RF-104G shortage, converted a limited basic F-104G to recon duty by equipping them with Orpheus recon pod.
These pods were different and Steve S made both for us sometimes ago. So it's time to upgrade and use them.

Lockheed/FMA IA-16 Serpiente:
BACKSTORY:
The year is 1998. Argentina starts showing its newly acquired A-4AR Fightinghawk, modernized to replace the old A-4Bs. While this was happening, it was clear that the Mirages had to be retired anywhere in a near future. So, the Fabrica Militar de Aviones, also called FMA, joins Lockheed Martin to develop a multirole, supersonic fighter, to fill the space that the Mirage will no longer cover. The result of this alliance is the IA-16 Serpiente, a multirole, supersonic and highly capable aircraft, developed from the F-16. The Serpiente is very similar to the Japanese F-2, but they have some differences that make them unique: while the F-2 has a boom receptor for air refueling, the Serpiente has a fuel probe, being capable of refueling from the KC-130 owned by the FAA. The avionics and a lot of parts from the plane itself are made in Argentina, and after 2008, the plane could be made in Argentinian soil without importing a single manufactured piece. The first plane flew in 2002, and was introduced in the FAA in the year 2005. The plane is equipped with Python 5 and AMRAAM missiles. It also can be equipped with AIM-9Xs and, due to the open architecture, it can be equipped with MICA and Meteor missiles. In 2007, Argentina recieved a first batch of 24 Serpientes, with 12 going to the 5th Fighter Group and the other 12 to the 6th Fighter Group, and in 2015, with the retirement of the Mirages and Neshers, another 24 IA-16 Serpiente Block 2 were ordered, plus the modernization of the existing ones to the Block 1+ standard, matching the avionics of the upcoming versions. The nacionalization of the whole assembly proccess of the plane has opened the opportunity for exports, being offered to small countries, like Uruguay, Paraguay and El Salvador. These 3 countries allegedly planned to buy 12 units of the Serpiente each one, but pressure from the US (even though the Serpiente is a US derived product) made them decline the offer. The Serpiente has seen service in the FAA for 15 years now, and is expected to surpass 2040. The future of this plane looks bright, with several modifications planned for the next year, like a radar-absorbing painting, to have semi-stealth capabilities (coming probably next update).

NOTES: 
The cabin is bugged, and we couldn't fix it. We corrected the position of the seat, but some things dissapeared, as far as I know, the LOD of the cabin is bugged.

A simple mod of stock TW Lightning F.53.  It gives you two fictional variants of dhimari Lightnings,  armed with Sparrow and Sidewinders, with 1987 version equipped with modern HUD and radar from F-16A.  It's the first SF2 mod i decided to share.    Obviously,  Strike Fighters 2 Expansion Pack 2 is required. 
 
--------------------------Background Story
In 1966, Kingdom of Dhimar, worried about Parani supersonic Tu-22 bombers and Su-7 strike aircraft, ordered 34 F.53 Lightning interceptors from BAC.
While Dhimari air force pilots were more than satisfied with its performance, speed and rate of climb, its missile armament was not really adequate for the task. This has become even more apparent after kingdom started to receive its first batch of US made F-4 Phantoms, armed with radar guided, all aspect missiles.
In 1972, decision was made to upgrade the Dhimari Lightnings to more modern standards.  Working together with Ferranti and Raytheon, Royal Dhimari Research and Development Bureau managed to successfully modify the AI.23 radar allowing it to guide new AIM-7 sparrow missiles.  Both hull and wing hardpoints were modified in order to mount US provided AIM-7s and AIM-9s.  The upgrade program also added (audio only) RWR and countermeasure launchers.  The modifications decreased the volume of ventral fuel tank, however this was considered to be acceptable trade-off, and between 1974 and 1976 all dhimari lightnings were converted to this variant.
In 1986 BAe offered further 22 Lightnings to Dhimar - all ex-Saudi F.53 airframes, together with supply of spare parts and engines.  Soon after that, further 10 Lightnings were bought from Kuwait.  At first, all airframes were intended to be simply refurbished and upgraded to the same standard as rest of dhimari fighters,  but - mostly because of personal insistence of Dhimari Prince Fa'ad, the decision was made to modify them even further, completely replacing 60s era avionics with significantly more advanced systems - most important of them being latest AN/APG-66 radar, together with Marconi HUD (displayed directly on pilot's windshield, like in F-14, rather than on separate glass panel).
In October 1987 first such modified Lightnings entered Dhimari service.  The program was deemed successful enough that in early 90s it was extended to 1972 modified airframes as well.
While 1972 and 1987 variants retained the ground attack capabilities of F.53, Dhimari air force preferred to keep them as pure air defence fighters.  However, few airframes transferred to mercenary Special Operation Wing were sometimes used as strike aircraft - despite being armed only with unguided weaponry.
