eaglemmoomin,
Don't really know enough in that area to offer an opinion either way, I'm afraid. I know a Stike Eagle can get where it needs to go with its internal nav kit, but (although they seem to offer a lot) I wouldn't know what kit they might want for day 1 air-to-ground as I haven't seen the specs they're looking at for the ROK sales pitch (well, none of us have).
The only thought I can offer is that if it were the case that it couldn't at least claim to do the day 1 stuff the Koreans want, they'd have kicked it out the door in 2009.
I'd be more interested to see the crew keep all the threats head-on so that they're not displaying the barn-door radar reflector (even with canted tails)!
LO, agreed. The APG82, HMS and DEWS do look like nice kit.
It ain't Iraq in terms of weather OR threat.
