Allerdings wären diese für den Export bestimmten Maschinen nicht auf US-Luftwaffenstandard, sondern lediglich mit einem Radar älterer Generation und ebensolchen Raketen ausgestattet.
Als Triebwerk könnte sowohl das Pratt & Whitney F100-PW-229 als General Electric F110-GE-129 in die Maschinen eingebaut werden.
Der Gesamtauftrag hätte einen Wert von rund 4,2 Milliarden US-Dollar.
Das Angebotspaket im Detail:
- 18 F-16IQ
- 24 F100-PW-229 or F110-GE-129 Increased Performance Engines;
- 24 APG-68v9 radar sets, the most modern radar available in Block 50 aircraft
- 20 pairs of Conformal Fuel Tanks, which mount along the back/top of the F-16;
- 20 AN/APX-113 Advanced Identification Friend or Foe (AIFF) Systems (without Mode IV)
- 22 Advanced Countermeasures Electronic Systems (ACES), including the ALQ-187 Electronic Warfare System and AN/ALR-93 Radar Warning Receiver;
- 22 AN/ALE-47 Countermeasures Dispensing Systems (CMDS);
- 20 Global Positioning Systems (GPS) and Embedded GPS/Inertial Navigation Systems (INS), (using Standard Positioning Service (SPS) commercial code only)
- 19 M61 20mm Vulcan multi-barrel cannons, which are mounted internally;
- 36 LAU-129/A Common Rail Launchers, which fit the F-16’s wingtips. They can be used with all AIM-9 missiles including the AIM-9X, and with the AIM-120 AMRAAM;
- 200 AIM-9L/M-8/9 Sidewinder air-to-air missiles. These missiles are effective, and the AIM-9M missiles are still in widespread American use, but they’re a generation behind the current AIM-9X;
- 150 AIM-7M-F1/H Sparrow Missiles. A couple of generations behind current beyond visual range air-to-air missiles. They lack the current AM-120 AMRAAM’s independent radar guidance and other improvements;
- 50 AGM-65D/G/H/K Maverick Air to Ground Missiles;
- 200 GBU-12 Paveway-II laser guided 500 lb. bombs;
- 50 GBU-10 Paveway-II laser guided 2,000 lb. bombs;
- 50 GBU-10 Paveway-III laser guided 2,000 lb. bombs with longer glide range and a “bunker busting” warhead;
- 20 AN/AAQ-33 Sniper or AN/AAQ-28 LITENING advanced surveillance and targeting pods. Almost certain to be Lockheed Martin’s Sniper, given LITENING’s Israeli origins;
- 4 F-9120 Advanced Airborne Reconnaissance Systems (AARS) or DB-110 Reconnaissance Pods (RECCE)
