Ranger626 Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Can anyone tell me if the IRIS-T air-to-air missile achieved operational status with any units that flew the F-4 Phantom? Perhaps German or Greek squadrons late in their service life? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave1089 Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 IRIS-T was not introduced to the F-4. German jets used AIM-9 and AIM-120 up to retirement and the Greek jets still do. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ranger626 Posted January 17, 2019 Author Share Posted January 17, 2019 Thanks Dave. That solves one decision for me. I've never seen a photo of an IRIS-T on a Phantom other than one photo of a test round on a German WTD 61 trials aircraft, so I guessed that might be the case; but was not sure.

scotthldr Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 IRIS-T was to be integrated into the Hellenic AUP programme but it never materialised in the end, despite what you may read on some websites Quote Link to post Share on other sites
