+dtmdragon Posted August 7, 2020 Posted August 7, 2020 (edited) US Emergency Aid F-8J Crusaders upgraded after the Yom Kippur war along side the US Emergency Aid A-4E/F Skyhawks... - 2x 30mm DEFA cannons in place of the 4x 20mm Colt cannons. Upper 20mm gun ports are blanked off and 30mm DEFA barrels extend out of lower 20mm gun ports. - Vector RWR display installed in cockpit. - Modified for Israeli weapons. - Wet wing pylons utilized with drop tanks. - IRST removed (like the French Navy the IAF found the system to be more trouble then it was worth). Israeli Aircraft Industries 'Super Lochem' project leverages the Vought V-1000 International Fighter Aircraft proposal and upgrades the engine to the J79 (more power and less weight) common to the IAF Kurness and Kfir...
