AU don't have any litening. Sniper pod have more aerodynamic sharp front sections unlike more common round shape.My bad, i cant even spot the difference either Sniper and Litening

Yeah, because it dont have drag chute.Probably yes, my speculation they want to use it in short landing environtment space, such as highway or CV.
just remember that sniper is pointy and litening is round.My bad, i cant even spot the difference either Sniper and Litening
amraam is a posibility, iris-t (or any short range missile) probably not going to be place on the underbelly of the craft.Its make me wonder tho, what kind of missile it will be carried, isit only for Meteor or can be use for IRIS-T?

Short range IR guided missile typically need to track target with its "eye" first before launch. Putting it on underbelly pylon make it difficult to track target.amraam is a posibility, iris-t (or any short range missile) probably not going to be place on the underbelly of the craft.

boramae has front facing IRST , they can be used to help to acquire infrared target even if the missile has it's infrared sensor point of view blocked , just like the EuroFIRST PIRATE that can help the IRIS-T track it's target .Short range IR guided missile typically need to track target with its "eye" first before launch.

AFAIK, todays IRST only capable to track target, not to completely lock the target.boramae has front facing IRST , they can be used to help to acquire infrared target even if the missile has it's infrared sensor point of view blocked , just like the EuroFIRST PIRATE that can help the IRIS-T track it's target .
Yeah arresting hook, but not for carrier but emergency only. Even F16 has itNot the whole canopy glass, just the main (rear) part the small front part will remain just like F35.
Is that a tailhook on the 2nd pic?
Both IRIS-T and AIM-9x block ll that South Korea ordered have LOAL (Lock on after launch) capability. They have the advantage to support boromae stealthiness.Short range IR guided missile typically need to track target with its "eye" first before launch. Putting it on underbelly pylon make it difficult to track target.
AMRAAM and Sidewinders are a definite. The ROKAF isn't going to waste all their surplus stocks just like that.amraam is a posibility, iris-t (or any short range missile) probably not going to be place on the underbelly of the craft.
