Posted October 28, 2021 Summary of arguments and rebuttals Picture of the JDAM on the F-4EJ Kai? it is just for display. Is the ADTW's F-4EJ's new antenna is GPS antenna? It's been installed since 1988, so that is not a GPS antenna. A picture of the F-4EJ Kai with the XGCS-2? Just performing aerodynamics and separation tests with dummy bomb, not real bomb. F-4EJ Kai's GCS-1? No ground attack ability due to seeker's performance F-4EJ Kai's AGM-62 or AGM-65? When producing the F-4EJ, all equipment was removed, and no functions were added even in EJ Kai.

They both need to be a tad bit more accurate and not susceptible to interference from other flying aircraft or missiles. They should both be more faster in target acquisition and less able to lose locks due to notching. The Kai right now is just pretty much a f4E radar with PD.

AN/APG-66J is the add AIM-7 capability to AN/APG-66. Spoiler From 航空自衛隊 F-4 マニアックス F-4EJ改の空対空、空対地能力 F-16は、段階的に空対空と空対地双方の戦闘能力を高める計画だったため、初期のAN/APG-66にはスパローの運用支援能力は備わっていなかった。航空自衛隊はF-4EJ改に、F-4EJと同様にAIM-7スパローを運用できる能力をもたせることとし、そのためF-4EJ改向けにはそれを可能にする機能が追加された。また、対地攻撃用のモードも複数備わっているが、F-4EJ改では空対艦ミサイルを搭載兵器に加えることとしたのでそれを支援する対艦攻撃用の機能 も加えられた。こうしたことからF-4EJ改用のレーダーは、AN/APG-66Jと呼ばれることになった。なおもともとのAN/APG-66でスパローの運用能力を加えたものは、AN/APG-66V(2)と呼ばれている。 As you can see it mentions AN/APG-66J is different with AN/APG-66(V)2. They added air-to-air (for AIM-7), air-to-ship capabilities to the early AN/APG-66 and named it the AN/APG-66J.

AN/APG-66J is the add AIM-7 capability to AN/APG-66. Spoiler From 航空自衛隊 F-4 マニアックス F-4EJ改の空対空、空対地能力 F-16は、段階的に空対空と空対地双方の戦闘能力を高める計画だったため、初期のAN/APG-66にはスパローの運用支援能力は備わっていなかった。航空自衛隊はF-4EJ改に、F-4EJと同様にAIM-7スパローを運用できる能力をもたせることとし、そのためF-4EJ改向けにはそれを可能にする機能が追加された。また、対地攻撃用のモードも複数備わっているが、F-4EJ改では空対艦ミサイルを搭載兵器に加えることとしたのでそれを支援する対艦攻撃用の機能 も加えられた。こうしたことからF-4EJ改用のレーダーは、AN/APG-66Jと呼ばれることになった。なおもともとのAN/APG-66でスパローの運用能力を加えたものは、AN/APG-66V(2)と呼ばれている。 As you can see it mentions AN/APG-66J is different with AN/APG-66(V)2. They added air-to-air (for AIM-7), air-to-ship capabilities to the early AN/APG-66 and named it the AN/APG-66J.

Summary of arguments and rebuttals
Picture of the JDAM on the F-4EJ Kai?
it is just for display.
Is the ADTW's F-4EJ's new antenna is GPS antenna?
It's been installed since 1988, so that is not a GPS antenna.
A picture of the F-4EJ Kai with the XGCS-2?
Just performing aerodynamics and separation tests with dummy bomb, not real bomb.
F-4EJ Kai's GCS-1?
No ground attack ability due to seeker's performance
F-4EJ Kai's AGM-62 or AGM-65?
When producing the F-4EJ, all equipment was removed, and no functions were added even in EJ Kai.
