AMX A-1A, AMX-T A-1B and AMX A-1M Brazilian Air Force
The AMX International AMX is a ground-attack aircraft for battlefield interdiction, close air support and reconnaissance missions. It was built until 1999 by AMX International, an Italian-Brazilian joint venture. The AMX is designated A-1 by the Brazilian Air Force, and A-11 Ghibli by the Italian Air Force.
The AMX is capable of operating at high subsonic speed and low altitude, by day or night, and if necessary, from bases with poorly equipped or damaged runways. Low IR signature and reduced radar equivalent cross-section help prevent detection, while low vulnerability of structure and systems aid survivability, while integrated ECM, air-to-air missiles and nose-mounted guns provide self-defence capabilities.
AMX-T
In 1986, development of a two-seat advanced trainer variant was undertaken. This was intended to provide trainee pilots with experience on fast jets, while still retaining the single-seater's attack capabilities. First flying in 1990, the AMX-T equipped both the Italian and Brazilian air forces.
A-1M
The product of a Brazilian upgrade program of their A-1s; significant features include a Mectron SCP-01 Scipio radar, Embraer BR2 data link, FLIR Systems navigation equipment, Elbit INS/GPS/databus, the adoption of a glass cockpit,[31] a new OBOGS system and HMD DASH IV.
O AMX International AMX, ou simplesmente AMX é um avião de ataque ar-superfície usado para missões de interdição, apoio aéreo aproximado e reconhecimento aéreo. Foi desenvolvido pelo consórcio internacional AMX Internacional. Na Força Aérea Brasileira, ele é designado A-1 (A-1A para a versão monoplace e A-1B para a versão de dois lugares). Com a modernização o A-1 passa a incorporar o M em sua designação na FAB, tornando-se então A-1M. Na Itália, ele tem o apelido de "Ghibli".
O AMX é capaz de operar em altas velocidades subsônicas a baixa altitude, tanto de dia quanto de noite, e se necessário, a partir de bases pouco equipadas ou com pistas danificadas. O caça conta com relativamente baixa assinatura em infravermelho e reduzida secção frontal ao radar, para melhorar seu percentual de sucesso nas missões. A auto-defesa é proporcionada por mísseis ar-ar, canhões integrados e sistemas de contramedidas eletrônicas

Vultee P-66 Vanguard
By Veltro2k
The Vultee P-66 Vanguard was a United States Army Air Forces fighter aircraft. It was initially ordered by Sweden, but by the time the aircraft were ready for delivery in 1941, the United States would not allow them to be exported, designating them as P-66s and retaining them for defensive and training purposes. Eventually, a large number were sent to China where they were pressed into service as combat aircraft with mixed results.

Boeing B-52K Stratofortress B.1
By Spinners
Boeing B-52K Stratofortress B.1 for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2
This is a very simple mod of the stock (non-flyable) Third Wire B-52K to give a fictional and flyable B-52K Stratofortress B.1 in service with No.9 Squadron attached to RAF South East Asia Command.
Also included are fictional 'Flail' and 'Flambard' bombs with Flail being especially useful against soft-skin targets (or fuel tanks if you get tasked against these in Strike missions) and Flambard being a particularly nasty incendiary bomb. You can, of course, convert it to use nukes but bombing from 12,000m with conventional ordnance is a real challenge but great fun. As we don't have a proper B-52 pit you'll have to make do with the one supplied or go your own way and I mainly prefer to fly this one with cockpit toggle off.
INSTRUCTIONS
1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the B-52K folder into your Aircraft folder.
2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the B-52K folder into your Decals folder.
3. From the WEAPONS folder drag and drop the FLAIL and FLAMBARD folders into your weapons folder.

[Fictional] Hawker Hunter F.6M (Falklands)
By Spinners
Hawker Hunter F.6M for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2
Requires SF2 DLC 001: Hunter F.6 (60) Royal Netherlands Air Force
This is a very simple mod of the above to give a fictional Hunter F.6M in service with RAF South Atlantic Command with markings for No.1435 Flight. You will need to have the new 'DLC' Hunter as this mod will not work with any Hunter that isn't DLC 001 although you are welcome to reverse engineer it to suit what Hunter(s) you have in your install.
BACKSTORY
The introduction of the Lightning F.1 and F.1A into RAF Fighter Command in 1960 and 1961 began to free-up Hunter F.6's most of which were earmarked for conversion into ground-attack aircraft for the RAF (as the FGA.9) or for export. But the Falklands Crisis of May 1961 led to the decision to base a detachment of fighter aircraft at RAF Stanley and a batch of 8 Hawker Hunter F.6's were urgently converted into F.6M's a minimum-change conversion armed with the Firestreak missile and improved navigation and radio equipment. The first four Hunter F.6M's were dispatched as deck cargo arriving at Port Stanley in September 1961 to form No.1435 Flight who quickly christened the aircraft Faith, Hope, Charity and Desperation. The second batch of Hunters arrived in December 1961 but, with improving diplomatic relations, they were basically used to keep the original four aircraft airworthy until a rotation policy was adopted. The Hunter F.6M's served until 1972 when they were replaced by Lightning F.2A's.
INSTRUCTIONS
1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the HunterF6M folder into your Aircraft folder.
2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the HunterF6M folder into your Decals folder.

Dassault Mystère IVA
By paulopanz
The Mystère IV was an evolutionary development of the Mystère II aircraft.
Although bearing an external resemblance to the earlier aircraft, the Mystère IV
was in fact a new design with aerodynamic improvements for supersonic flight.
The prototype first flew on 28 September 1952, and the aircraft entered service
in April 1953. The first 50 Mystere IVA production aircraft were powered by
British Rolls-Royce Tay turbojets, while the remainder had the French-built
Hispano-Suiza Verdon 350 version of that engine.
This plane was "the star" of War of the Stripes over Suez in 1956
France was the main operator of the Mystère IV and at the peak usage operated
6 squadrons. Most of the aircraft were purchased under a United States Offshore
Procurement contract and many were returned to US custody after they were retired.
In April 1953 the United States government and the United States Air Force placed
an order for 223 aircraft to be operated by the French. The new Mystère IVs were
used in the 1956 Suez Crisis and continued in use into the 1980s
The Mystère IV became Israel's first swept-wing fighter when an order for Mystère
IIs was changed to 24 Mystère IVs in 1955, which were delivered from April to June
1956, equipping 101 Squadron. A further 36 were delivered in August 1956, with a
final aircraft, equipped for reconnaissance duties, delivered in September 1956.
On 29 October 1956, when Israel attacked Egypt in the opening move of what became
known as the Suez Crisis, invading the Sinai Peninsula, the Mystères of 101 Squadron
were deployed on both air-to-air and ground attack mission.
A second squadron, 109 Squadron was equipped with the Mystère IV in December 1956,
while 101 Squadron passed its Mystères to 116 Squadron in November 1961. Israel
planned to replace the Mystère IV with the Douglas A-4 Skyhawk, but 109 and 116
Squadron still operated the French fighter on the outbreak of the Six-Day War.
The Mystère was finally retired from Israeli service on 18 March 1971.
India procured 104 of aircraft in 1957 and used them extensively in the Indo-Pakistani
War of 1965. The phasing out of the aircraft started soon after the 1965 Indo-Pakistani
War, though it saw further action in the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971, it was completely
phased out of the Indian Air Force by 1973.
This is a big High Res update of my previous and other modders skins and new ones.
Plane tweaking.
WHAT'S IN:
- 43 new skins (IDF 12; 5 IAF; 16 AdA)
- historical decalsets
- missing antenna added
- taxing dance solved
- openable autoclosing canopy
- pilot
CREDITS:
- Tk plane
- Geary High Rez temps
- Ghostrider883 IAF previous skins
- Wilco IDF decals
- Coupi new antenna
TO INSTALL:
- all in main mod folder and overwrite
OPERATIONS:
- key 10 = Canopy open

[Fictional] Republic F-7C Thunderstorm
By Spinners
Republic F-7C Thunderstorm for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2
This is a very simple mod of the stock MiG-23ML/P to give a fictional Republic F-7C Thunderstorm in service with the 428th and 429th Tactical Fighter Squadrons in the Vietnam SEA style skin with 'Combat Lancer' rudder flashes.
The USAF SEA style scheme is a lucky find as it's one of the stock Czech camo schemes! Thanks TK!
BACKSTORY
During late 1958 the Langley Laboratory made the breakthrough that led to the realisation of a valid variable-sweep wing and by early 1959 Tactical Air Command (TAC) could see that this massive technological breakthrough could be the key to help them in their search for a tactical strike fighter to replace both the F-100 Super Sabre and the F-105 Thunderchief. Pretty soon however the numerical values for unrefuelled range and payload that TAC had attached to their mission requirements had the effect of turning all the paper studies from F-105 sized machines to much larger tactical bombers with a corresponding increase in cost and price and this reduced affordability was of great concern to TAC.
In the Autumn of 1959 TAC wisely decided to split their requirement into a smaller tactical fighter to replace the F-100 and a larger tactical bomber to replace the F-105, B-57 and B-66. The larger aircraft would evolve into Specific Operational Requirement No.183 that would launch the important TFX (tactical fighter experimental) programme and eventually lead (via a tortuous route) to the outstanding but highly compromised F-111 family whilst the smaller aircraft would lead to Specific Operational Requirement No.182 or TAX (tactical aircraft experimental).
Issued in March 1960 SOR182 called for a single-seat tactical fighter aircraft with “reduced dependence of paved runways” and with “the ability to carry a nuclear bomb at supersonic speed at tree-top height”. Requests for Proposals were immediately sent out to industry and Republic Aviation’s proposal soon gained the support of TAC by virtue of its use of a variable-sweep wing but also by the use of the existing J75 turbojet and F-105 avionics. With the end of F-105 production on the horizon Republic Aviation pushed hard for SOR182/TAX and in February 1961 they were rewarded with a contract for 24 prototype and pre-production YF-110 aircraft and 400 production F-110A machines and Republic wasted no time in bestowing the name of ‘Thunderstorm’ to the latest of their long line of fighter aircraft.
Republic Aviation were fortunate in being awarded the contract before Secretary of Defence Robert S. McNamara had got into his stride and the programme largely escaped McNamara and his whiz-kids. Development moved swiftly and during 1962 the programme was re-designated F-7 under the new tri-service designation scheme and the first prototype took to the air on December 22nd 1962 a full year ahead of the F-111A. Entering service in June 1965 the F-7A was followed by the F-7B two-seat trainer version and the more advanced F-7C version that first deployed to Vietnam in March 1968 when a two-squadron wing transferred to Takhli Royal Thia AFB, Thailand in a deployment called ‘Combat Lancer’.

[Fictional] BAC Lightning F.53H
By Spinners
BAC Lightning F.53H for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2
This is a very simple mod of the stock Lightning F.53 to give a fictional Lightning F.53H of the Hungarian Air Force.
BACKSTORY
The revolutions of 1989 generally had a domino effect across Eastern Europe and Hungary soon followed Poland and in March 1989 the government bravely declared the anniversary of the 1848 Revolution a national holiday and this was soon followed by the reburial of former Prime Minister Imre Nagy (executed after the 1956 Revolution) and calls for Soviet forces to leave Hungary. Popular opposition to the Communist regime continued, eventually leading to Mátyás Szurös declaring Hungary a republic on October 23rd, 1989 and the free elections of March 1990. However. with Soviet forces withdrawing fast the Hungarian Air Force (Magyar Légiero) was soon short of equipment and spares and when the Soviet MiG-29's departed from Tokol in 1991 the air defence of Hungary rested with literally a handful of poorly maintained MiG-21's.
During the late 1980's British Aerospace had bought back many of the surviving Saudi Lightning F.53's and had hoped to sell them to Austria (whose air force were hard-pressed to intercept a business jet) but the deal fell through and the Lightnings had continued to lanquish at Warton prompting a tentative offer to sell them to Hungary at a knock-down price. In May 1991 the UK Government bought 26 of the ex-Saudi Lightning F.53's and gifted them to the Hungarian Air Force in a move believed to have orchestrated by President George H. Bush.
Arriving in August 1991 the Lightnings were operated by the 59th Tactical Fighter Wing at Kecskemét AFB and served until 1998 when they were replaced by MiG-29's donated from Germany and Poland.

[Fictional] Nakajima Ki-101 (IJAAF Spitfire IXc)
By Spinners
Nakajima Ki-101 'Heavenly Lion' for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2
This is a simple mod of the stock 'AI' Thirdwire Spitfire F.9C to give a flyable 'what if' Nakajima Ki-101 interceptor-fighter of the Imperial Japanese Army Air Force in mid-1945.
This mod requires you to have Expansion Pack 1 so that you have the necessary Third Wire Spitfire LOD's that are, of course, not included here.
BACKSTORY
In February 1943 the unfortunate Pilot Office P. Lonker of No.64 squadron descended through the fog to land his brand-new Spitfire IX at the Luftwaffe airfield near Brest in the mistaken belief that it was his home base of Hornchurch. Whilst the Spitfire was no secret to the Germans this pristine example was gratefully received and sent to the Dornier factory in Altenrhein (Switzerland) where it was studied in detail with production drawings made and tooling fabricated for the proposed production of the Spitfire for the Swiss Air Force.
However, during the early Spring of 1944 the decision was made to ship the drawings and tooling to the Nakajima Aircraft Company in Japan for production of the Spitfire for defence against American bombers including the B-29 then just coming into service in forward bases in China and India. Designated as the Ki-101 'Heavenly Lion' production started quickly enough but disaster struck when the Ota factory was bombed (ironically by B-29's) in December 1944 with only a handful of aircraft completed and all without engines as Aichi Atsuta had failed to deliver a single example of the licence-built Daimler-Benz DB605 engine. Miraculously, production restarted in February 1945 with the first Aichi built engines arriving in March allowing the first squadron to re-equip in May 1945. Production records indicate that only 45 Ki-101's were manufactured and there were no recorded incidents of air combat between the 'Heavenly Lion' and allied aircraft
INSTRUCTIONS
1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the SpitfireF9_IJAAF folder into your Aircraft folder.
2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the SpitfireF9_IJAAF folder into your main Decals folder.
Pilot - Almost certainly you'll have a Third Wire 'Jet Jock' flying your 'Heavenly Lion' so you'll need to swap him out for something more appropriate.
N.B. Once you installed your aircraft you'll find it named Ki-101 'Heavenly Lion' in the drop-down menu. For best results you will need to manipulate your nations list to include the Imperial Japanese Army Air Force.
That's it!

F-5GN
By Gepard
F-5GN Sea Tiger (What if)
*****************************************************
This mod is made for SF2.
----------------------------------------------------------
I. History (fiction)
In 1969 there were decisive elections in West Germany. In reality, the Social Democrats won.
A new foreign policy followed and a period of reduction of tensions between East and West.
WHAT IF, the other side had won?
What if the conservatives had won and Franz Joseph Strauß (an old bavarian Commie eater) would have become Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany?
And so it starts.
In 1969 Strauß was elected as Chancellor. A period of rising tensions between East and West
started. To protect the sea lanes between Europe and America the west german parliament Bundestag decided to build up a west german carrier force consisting of 3 carriers.
The american gouvernment was pleased and offered to sell 3 carriers of the Essex class (subclass Ticonderoga).
The first ship which was handed over was CV-34 Oriskany in 1969. Renamed in R-22 Theodor Heuss it was core of the first west german carrier group. 1973 CV-38 Shangri-La became R-23 Heinrich Lübke (later renamed in Walter Scheel) and two years later CV-45 Valley Forge became R-24 Gustav Heinemann.
The americans offered A-4 Skyhawk and F-8 Crusader as planes for the carrier group. The Bundesmarine accepted the A-4, but rejected the Crusader, because the Bundesmarine wanted a more multi role capable plane, not only a pure fighter.
At this moment Northrop entered the competition and offered a navalised version of the brand new F-5E Tiger. Under the designation F-5GN (German Navy) it should be produced in America and Germany. The west german government accepted the offer and the serial production of the F-5GN started. During flight tests on the way the US Marines decided, that it would be a good idea to replace their old F-8 Crusaders with F-5GN planes. So the F-5GN became a Marine plane.
Later, when the Marines retired their attack carriers the surviving F-5GN were transfered to Top Gun school.
The F-5GN stayed in west german service till 1995. Then it was replaced by F-31 Mustang II.

Heinkel HE-100D1
The Heinkel He 100 was a German pre-World War II fighter aircraft design from Heinkel. Although it proved to be one of the fastest fighter aircraft in the world at the time of its development, the design was not ordered into series production. Approximately 19 prototypes and pre-production examples were built. None are known to have survived the war.

F-5GN (Marines)
By Gepard
F-5GN(Marines) Sea Tiger (What if)
*****************************************************
This mod is made for SF2.
----------------------------------------------------------
I. History (fiction)
In 1969 there were decisive elections in West Germany. In reality, the Social Democrats won.
A new foreign policy followed and a period of reduction of tensions between East and West.
WHAT IF, the other side had won?
What if the conservatives had won and Franz Joseph Strauß (an old bavarian Commie eater) would have become Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany?
And so it starts.
In 1969 Strauß was elected as Chancellor. A period of rising tensions between East and West
started. To protect the sea lanes between Europe and America the west german parliament Bundestag decided to build up a west german carrier force consiting of 3 carriers.
The american gouvernment was pleased and offered to sell 3 carriers of the Essex class (subclass Ticonderoga).
The first ship which was handed over was CV-34 Oriskany in 1969. Renamed in R-22 Theodor Heuss it was core of the first west german carrier group. 1973 CV-38 Shangri-La became R-23 Heinrich Lübke (later renamed in Walter Scheel) and two years later CV-45 Valley Forge became R-24 Gustav Heinemann.
The americans offered A-4 Skyhawk and F-8 Crusader as planes for the carrier group. The Bundesmarine accepted the A-4, but rejected the Crusader, because the Bundesmarine wanted a more multi role capable plane, not only a pure fighter.
At this moment Northrop entered the competition and offered a navalised version of the brand new F-5E Tiger. Under the designation F-5GN (German Navy) it should be produced in America and Germany. The west german government accepted the offer and the serial production of the F-5GN started. During flight tests on the way the US Marines decided, that it would be a good idea to replace their old F-8 Crusaders with F-5GN planes. So the F-5GN became a Marine plane.
Later, when the Marines retired their attack carriers the surviving F-5GN were transfered to Top Gun school.
In west german service the F-5GN stayed till 1995. Then it was replaced by F-31 Mustang II.

[Fictional] Hawker Hunter FGA.9D (Desert Camo)
By Spinners
Hawker Hunter FGA.9D for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2
This is a simple mod of the stock Hunter FGA.9 to create a fictional Hunter FGA.9D in service with Royal Air Force Middle East Command in the 1961-1972 timeline. It's really just a Hunter FGA.9 with a desert camo (two squadrons are featured; No.43 Squadron and No.112 Squadron with a sharkmouth) but it looks cool when on emergency deployment to Dhimar!
INSTRUCTIONS
1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the HunterFGA9D folder into your Aircraft folder.
2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the HunterFGA9D folder into your Decals folder.
That's it!
CREDITS
As always, thanks to Third Wire for a great little game/sim.
And, finally, thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community.

[Fictional] Hawker Hunter FGA.9A RAF 'Desert Pink'
By Spinners
Hawker Hunter FGA.9A for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2
This is a very simple mod of the stock Third Wire Hawker Hunter FGA.9 to give a fictional Hawker Hunter FGA.9A fighter-bomber aircraft as it might have appeared in service with the Royal Air Force during the 1960's to early 1970's period with RAF Middle East Command and 'what if' markings are included for;
No.8 Squadron
No.20 Squadron
No.43 Squadron
In reality, all three squadrons have an association with operating the FGA.9 in the Middle East area during the 1960's but I've banged them together as a three-squadron wing and clad them in this 'Desert Pink' scheme initially adopted in 1961 for the Kuwait Crisis and then kept for their extended operations in Aden and Dhimar.
INSTRUCTIONS
1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the HunterFGA9A folder into your Aircraft folder.
2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the HunterFGA9A folder into your main Decals folder.
That's it!
CREDITS
As always, thanks to Third Wire for a great little game/sim.
Special thanks to ndicki for his superb Hunter templates used by me to create this 'Desert Pink' scheme.

RF-101A & C VooDoo. SF.2 2020 Redux.
By yakarov79
Reworked pack of RF-101A and C VooDoo.
Generally old good VooDoo in new dresses.
There are big changes in FM model thanks to baffmeister in data.ini files - so Backup your original file. You might not like it.
In game you will find new aircrafts under names
*RF-101A VooDoo
*RF-101C VooDoo '58
*RF-101C VooDoo '66
note that RF-101C '58 uses non-RWR - VooDoo A cockpit.
All new skins in 3072x3072 resolution. New bump maps and specular maps. also in 3072.. plus decals to cover A and C models serial numbers.
Pack contains several skin sets for both models. With all research, I was trying to be correct as much as possible.
RF-101A have also one skin/decal set which contains few decal skin sets to cover experimental camo trials conducted in mid 60s.
Regarding colorful aircraft serial numbers:
54-1513 some say it was dark green some that really black. more info goes towards black so I painted it black (like Rolling Stones in 1966)
54-1514 first was painted similar as represented in this pack, then it was repainted with adding some brown colors.
54-1512 green/black camo with added brown during tests.
All this skin set with experimental camo trial is quite complicated and hard to put correctly in-game but I hope it will work fine for you.
I did not include skin sets for VooDoo operated over Vietnam. This will come in a separate package. Eventually. One day.
All new decals consisting of serial numbers for block 20-35 of A version and block 45-75 for C version.
Backup your original RF-101 Folders. Also Decals!
Credits:
Original models ErikGen
yakarov - skins / decals / some small ini tweak
baffmeister -new flight model.
Soulfreak - original skin for an extra thing.
Have Fun.
May the VooDoo be with you.

North American RF-100A 'Slick Chick'
By Spinners
North American RF-100A for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2
This is a very simple mod of the stock North American F-100A to create an RF-100A 'placeholder' until something better comes along.
You'll need to have Expansion Pack 2 to access the F-100A.
This little known Cold War warrior today can lay claim to being the world's first supersonic recconnaisance aircraft and I'd encourage you to read what you can about the handful of RF-100A's starting here;
http://www.spyflight.co.uk/f100.htm
Now I'm not a 3D modeller so I've done the best I could using MiG-21 recon pods to create the broadly similar shapes seen on the real RF-100A. To get them to load I've classified them as non-jettisonable fuel tanks so don't worry about dropping your tanks on the return dash - your precious wet film will still be there for the CIA boffins to examine. The RF-100A's carried no armament so I've deleted the 20mm cannon and removed the gun smoke but unfortunately the gun troughs are still there but you'll soon forget about that.
INSTRUCTIONS
1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the RF-100A folder into your Aircraft folder.
2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the RF-100A folder into your Decals Folder.
3. From the WEAPONS folder drag and drop the SLICK_CHICK folder into your Weapons folder.
That's it!
CREDITS
As always, big thanks to Third Wire for the continuous improvement of a great little game/sim.
A thank you to whoever created the MiG-21 Recon Pod and I hope you don't mind it being used here.
And, finally, thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community.

Su-21S/P "Flagpole"
By Gunrunner
When the Su-21S, codenamed "Flagpole" by NATO, appeared in 1978, it surprised the West which initially thought the plane to be just another failed Flagon update experiment or a testbed for systems of the recently identified Ram-L or Ram-K aircrafts.
It turned out to be a long endurance PVO interceptor, possibly meant as an interim or low-cost alternative to these new designs, using a clearly Flagon inspired but brand-new airframe and, according to some intelligence, reusing existing systems to mitigate development risk.
The aircraft is purported to use a single uprated R-35 derived from the one already used in PVO Floggers for propulsion, also borrowing the MiG-23P's radar, albeit with a larger antenna and more powerful emitter and using R-24 and R-60 missiles (up to 4 of each for a total of 8). It has been seen using up to 3 large drop tanks to accomplish its goal of long endurance patrol in the defence of the central and eastern regions of the USSR. Going against the trend of recent PVO-only interceptors, the Su-21 has 2 internal guns, sources suggesting these to be weirdly old-fashioned NR-30 with a hundred rounds each, as well as what seems to be decoy launchers.
This surprisingly elegant design was joined in 1980 by a dual-seat version, initially thought to be a trainer, but proving to be another interceptor, the Su-21P. While the single-seater Su-21S became a not too uncommon sight on the Soviet Western frontier, the Su-21P was almost absent, being more common on the other borders, the exact operationnal reason remains unclear as these planes seem to be otherwise identical.
Recent sightings suggest that the plane might not be a PVO exclusive as what are thought to be Su-21s were spotted in AV-MF colours, but not enough is known at present.
NOTEWORTHY OBSERVATIONS
- As it was started as an AI only asset for my own use, I kept the original F-15 cockpit.
- Likewise, as an AI only asset for my own use, I haven't taken the time to produce hangar and loading pics.
- I did the minimal amount of modification to the INI.
- All skins can be used on both variants if you want to switch things around.
- I have included AV-MF inspired skins in the Su-21P folder, for those that might be interested (waves at Stratos), they should be considered a not so hidden easter egg.
- PSD templates specific to this Soviet version should be released alongside.
- Read the damn READ ME for install.
CREDITS
Everyone at Cocas Aircraft Factory for their work on the plane, and especially Cocas for listening to my whin... errrr... suggestions and always nicely doing what I was pestering him to do (the guy is just too nice for his own good) and to Nyghtfall for giving us the templates without which I probably wouldn't have bothered to do something in a releasable form.
AmokFlo for the ejection seats.
The Trooper for the pilot reskin.
(I believe) PauloPanz for the Dark Blue Soviet numbers decals.
(I believe) Lindr2 for the R-24 and R-60.
Any error or omission is just that, feel free to correct me if I forgot or misattributed anything, everything should be under the CA Fair Use umbrella unless I messed up.
Have fun and good flight
Gunrunner
Version 1.0 - 15/05/2020

[Fictional] MiG-17PF 'Fuerza Aérea Argentina'
By Spinners
MiG-17PF 'Fuerza Aérea Argentina' for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2
This is a very simple mod of the stock MiG-17PF to give a fictional export version for the Fuerza Aérea Argentina with markings for Grupo 6 De Caza.
BACKSTORY
The Argentinian elections of 1958 saw Arturo Frondizi become President and with some support from Peron's followers to introduced various policies to encourage investment and make the country self-sufficient in energy and industry. One major issue was Argentina's chronic trade deficit and in early 1960 Frondizi cancelled the order for 28 refurbished F-86F Sabres on cost grounds and announced the procurement of 36 MiG-17PF interceptors from the Soviet Union for an undisclosed sum "to be funded solely by beef exports". Entering service with Grupo 6 De Caza in 1961 and armed with the indigenous 'Espada' radar-guided air-to-air missile the MiG-17PF's served in frontline service until 1979 and thus played no part in the 1982 Falklands/Malvinas conflict but did remain on reserve status until 1983.
INSTRUCTIONS
1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the MiG-17PF_FAA folder into your Aircraft folder.
2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the MiG-17PF_FAA folder into your Decals folder.
3. From the WEAPONS folder drag and drop the TANK400_MIG17_FAA folder into your Weapons folder.
