I understand the MR2 AAR probe has a nitrogen inerting system, surprisingly, this system was not deemed necessary for MRA4. With the enhanced range offered by MRA4 there is no requirement for it to be AAR ready on delivery. Unfortunately, the MRA4 probe will contain pressurized fuel regardless.
My main point in Post 1014, is that MRA4, will have significantly less protection than the 1950s ac it replaces. It is foolish and I would say criminal to procure such an aircraft, especially after XV230 and especially at a time of war.
