Strike Fighters 2 Screenshots

Apologies to, A-4KU avaliable here: http://combatace.com/topic/84679-ods-updated-f-1cr-a-4ku/?fromsearch=1 Skyhawk II package which included the USMC A-4M was a WIP lost when I had my HD crash. The version I sent to to Nyghtfall is 95% there it just needs some better ski s and decals for the USMC from memory. -
Intriguing story of the Argentine Navy’s attempt to acquire ex Israeli A-4E Ahit towards the end of the Falklands War. I will post the link to the full story (via Google translate) but basically after losing three out of four A-4Q Skyhawks during an attack on British Warships in the Falklands war the Argentine Navy tried to clandestinely acquire 14 Israeli A-4E Ahit aircraft. Knowing the US would never give approval for the sale the Argentine Navy secretly negotiated with Israeli officials through an Israeli- Australian businessman. The operation was given the code name ‘Goliath’ and would end up lasting until 1986. To try and get around the issue of US approval a front company in Panama called Sygma Sales International was used to make the purchase. Israeli hesitantly agreed to the sale but made it conditional on US approval but it would be up to Sygma Sales to negotiate it with the US directly but in the mean time a contract was signed and $86 Million USD was paid from Argentina to Israel. Unfortunately for Argentina the US State Department now become aware of the proposed sale and completely vetoed it. To add insult to injury Israel refused to refund the $86 million claiming that US approval was the responsibility of Sygma Sales and they had competed their end of the deal. After negotiations in 1983 another contract was signed between Israel and Argentina. This time 12 A-4E Ahit plus spares and some weapons for $53 million USD. However once again it was done without US approval. A further contract including modernisation of the Ahit's was signed between the Argentine Navy and Ebit in 1984 and named, rather ironically, project ‘HOPE’. Negotiations continued but the US stood firm in its position and ultimately the project was cancelled in 1986 and the Argentinean Navy A-4E ‘Aguila’ forgotten forever. Negotiation to recover the money took seven years with Argentina ultimately losing $36 million in total. https://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?depth=4&nv=1&rurl=translate.google.com&sl=auto&tl=en&u=http://www.perfil.com/mobile/%3Fnota%3D/ediciones/2011/7/edicion_586/contenidos/noticia_0004.html&usg=ALkJrhjwF8HBxddHEa7EFs3oz8g6Z0lApg Fortunately through the magic of SF2 and Nyghtfall's A-4 templates we can see what the A-4E 'Aguila' (Ahit/ Skyhawk) would have looked like in Argentine Naval Aviation Service...

Gripen NG for the United States – F-39A/B Griffin Blk 1/5 1.0 Due to a change in US government policy driven by cost overruns, project delays and negative public (aka voter) opinion the USAF F-35A order is halved. To make up the shortfall a cheaper 4.5 generation aircraft is sought to replace the rest of the F-16 fleet. New built F-16s are considered but ultimately a license built US specific version of the Gripen NG is chosen. To help offset the loss of the cancelled F-35 order Lockheed Martin is awarded the contract to build the F-39 along with the US specific modifications. The most important of which is full data/ sensor integration and cooperative war fighting with the F-35A fleet. The USAF designate the US built Gripen the F-39A/B Griffin. The first Block 1 Griffins off the Lockheed Martin production line are identical to the JAS-39E/F and equip CONUS Air National Guard units to replace the F-16 in the air sovereignty role. At the same time Lockheed Martin produce a handful of developmental airframes to integrate the full USAF arsenal of weapons and apply some of the technology from the F-35 program. The probe air-to-air refuelling system is also replaced with a flying boom receptacle. The end result is the F-39A/B Block 5 which is used to replace the F-16 in those USAF units that are not going to be equipped with the F-35A. The Block 5 Griffin is fully compatible with the F-35 and shares the same data link technology. This means Griffin equipped units can be used cost effectively in the low intensity warfare role but when required can be ‘force multiplied’ by the F-35A in a modern battlefield. All Block 1 aircraft will be upgraded to Block 5 standard. Included in this mod are: - F-39A Block 1 Griffin - F-39B Block 1 Griffin - F-39A Block 5 Griffin - F-39B Block 5 Griffin - F-39A Block 5 Griffin Aggressor - F-39B Block 5 Griffin Aggressor - 14 different USAF/ANG squadrons - 22 different skins To Install simply un pack and drop into your mods folder. Notes: - The Block 1 aircraft have a reduced weapons capability compared the Block 5 as they can only carry the weapons currently cleared on the Jas-39 Gripin (Aim-9M, Aim-120C etc) this is reflected in the loadout.ini. - The pilot is a re-skinned JHMCS model to look like the Cobra HMD that is integrated with the Gripin (see last screenshot below). - F-39B Block 5 Aggressor has a cannon even though the two seater doesn’t have one. This is for game play so it will engage you as an aggressor aircraft. Credits: -Gux Column5 Moonjumper Jat CadeteBRA Ianh755 Stipe The Viper Team ravenclaw_007 Enjoy, Dan. P.S. I think this is my favorite 'what if' I have ever done! :-) -
