It has participated in more international bids than the Indian LCA Tejas but has lost the most important ones. The JF-17 Block 3 has advanced avionics and flight control systems, an active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar, a combination of the most advanced Chinese short-range and beyond-visual-range missiles, and much more. Innovative and Invincible: The Sino-Pak J-17 Block 3 The US has yet to offer a proposal to Argentina officially. The payload capacity is 5,450 Kg on its nine pylons. Regarding avionics, the Danish fighter is equipped with an inexpensive digital quartz watch next to the HUD, an advanced LINK 16 tactical data link, GPS, an advanced EWMS (Electronic Warfare Management System) and Joint Helmet Mounted Cueing System. Compared to its Argentine tender rivals, the APG-66(V2) Doppler radar is technologically outdated.
In addition to LANTIRN pods, Danish F-16s carry an extensive arsenal of air-to-ground munitions, including GBU-49/GBU-54, GBU 12/24, GBU-31 v1/v3, and GBU-38/39, as well as a 20mm gun. It can fire Hughes AGM-65G Maverick air-to-surface missiles for ground attack missions and other unguided bombs. The aircraft also carries the marginally less capable AIM-9L instead of the AIM-9M. The F-16 AM is less expensive than the Soviet-era fighters, such as the Su-27 and MiG-29 series or the American F-15C Eagle. It has a tight turning radius, four Fire-and-Forget AIM-120A AMRAAM, two short-range AIM-9L Sidewinder missiles and an Electronic Countermeasure (ECM). The F-16 AM has extraordinary capabilities relative to its price, despite being relatively expensive. The updated F-16s designated F-16AMs or F-16A Block 15 MLUs, are also compatible with AMRAAM long-range radar-guided missiles.
To enhance performance and maintainability the older cockpits and avionics of F-16s have been upgraded to the same standards as the new build F-16C Block 52s. It underwent Mid Life Update (MLU) in the early 1990s according to reports. The F-16 AM “Fighting Falcon” from General Dynamics is a single-engine, single-seat Air Superiority Fighter. Will Argentina buy Indian fighters or heptrs?
