the final variant of the F-3 which was a very capable single-role platform
It had one other role apart from OCA/DCA - and that was SEAD. The EF3 was ready for GW2 but Torpy didn’t want it as he knew it would be the nail in the coffin for some of his beloved GR4s. Also, the F3OEU trialled TIALD on the F3 to give a long range VID capability and also a LGB capability.
