Royal Jordanian Air Force - RJAF

Nice pictures Bro, the only problem is that Israel can totally destroy 100% of your Air Force in less that few hours. If there is a war with Israel , I would suggest you save these pictures for memorabilia.

Yes, their air-force is far stronger, but our air defense and air force complement each other and will make any hostile air adventure into our sky like entering a hornets nest.

How would you evaluate Jordanian F-16 compared with the Israeli ones aside from F-15 and F-16I.

They are equal to our F-16C/D. F-15 is stronger in BVR, thanks to powerful radar, altitude and speed. In WVR Israeli planes also have an advantage thanks to Python 4/5 with helmet targeting systems.

But overall, since they are armed with AMRAAMs they are a strong opponent to any fighter in the world, except the F-22.

Thank you, but what makes Python 4/5 better than AIM-9J/P/M-9? Although the latter has more range, is it the guidance system and speed?

Pythons use helmet targeting system: in order to lock on target pilot needs to move his head, as result they have very high off boresight angles: more than 60 grad, compare to 25 grad for AIM-9. For further reading:

Helmet Mounted Sights and Displays

As for the range, AIM-9's diameter is 127 mm, while Python 4/5 - 160 mm. So Pythons have much larger motors.

It turned out that Jordanian F-16 has JHMCS Helmet as part of the modernization into F-16 MLU in Turkey:
