Did not fit into future plans.. still very sanction prone.. without the friendly support from nations flying the type..
even today with the Saudi's flying it, it would not have mattered.. since the Beduin loves his money more than they love you.
If the Ef is equipped with the AMRAAM.. and the Viper is equipped with the same.. then it all come down to the electronic gizmo's.. The CAPTOR radar's performance is slightly better in BVR modes than the APG-68(assuming its an upgraded F-16AM.. the CAPTOR will outperform the APG-66 by a mile). But will that matter at the maximum range of an AMRAAM 28nm??
Since it is likely that both jets would have spotted each other and would in burners to provide maximum KE to the shot..
The EF's DASS would provide an upper hand to the EF pilot.. whilst the F-16AM pilot would have to rely on whatever meagre(comparatively) defensive aids he has.
The EF still has the upper hand.. replace the AMRAAM on the EF with a meteor.. the F-16 is not going home for certain.
what role pilot skills play in missile aviodance. as in manoevering the plane to avoid the incoming
