Mr Matt Foley Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 I see they're using the AN/AAQ-33. I would surmise as a IRST of sorts? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KursadA Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Apparently Lockheed Martin is working on a ribbed version, which will improve performance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
