Joint Helmet-Mounted Cueing System (JHMCS)


JHMCS provides support for raster scanned imagery to display FLIR/IRST pictures for night operations and provides collimated symbology and imagery to the pilot

Turkish F-16 pilots use JHMCS helmet displays targeting information on the helmet visor to allow pilots to lock-on and attack air-to-air (JHMCS+AIM-9X)
The systems gives flight crew members the ability to rapidly acquire and designate a target simply by looking at it

-- 26 km AIM-9x sidewinder air to air missile
-- Joint Helmet Mounted Cueing Systems (JHMCS)

Can Turkey upgrade all of PAF’s F-16 to block 52? Or even better F-16V standard?

Old blocks will be easy you don't need permission from America. New blocks will be difficult with out LM.

Wrong comparison.
Compare turkey with combined armies and forces of Europe. Israel is just a franchise of Europe in ME.

Wrong comparison.
Compare turkey with combined armies and forces of Europe. Israel is just a franchise of Europe in ME.

Turkey's rivals are İsrael , İran and Egypt in the region

and from Europe only France and Greece are threat to Turkey in the Eastern Mediterranean

 

[Indus Pakistan]

Dynamics of war is changing fast but powerful airforce is a must

What is PAF up against these air forces. This is pertinent since some have suggested Pakistan goes to help Gaza?
