Interesting to note that they are estimated to have approximately 60 F4s in service (early 2026) of which, presumably, a number will have been destroyed. As 40 - 60 year old cabs, their serviceability is questionable, with them often referred-to as Frankenstein jets following much cannibalisation. Those that have received avionic upgrades are capable of carrying anti-ship missiles (Chinese C802?) Not sure I would fancy launching in one for an attack on shipping however!
