I had naively assumed that the Omanis had opted for 'the same as the RAF' when it came to weapons, but seemingly not. This doesn't look like a UK PWII, but looks bigger than a GBU-48? Can anyone identify it?
I wonder whether they opted for ASRAAM, or IRIS-T?
In fact has anyone opted for ASRAAM, apart from the UK?
Oman was the first Typhoon export customer to order ASRAAM as opposed to the "cheaper and shorter range" IRIS-T.
My understanding is that they wanted and I assume got Paveway IV. However, the one in the photo looks a bit too fat.
3 Squadron dropped P IVs on their deployment to Oman last year "operating with both UK and Omani Joint Tactical Air Controllers and employing live Paveway IV and 27 mm strafe weapons".
