I think some one asked that already and was turned down cause of the software. SDB was introduced with M6.1 tape which came in 2011, we probably have something like M5.1 tape (cause of the VHF radio), but still miss some stuff from that one.

 

I'd love to have those.

I am pretty sure this is not even in the scope of being looked at for the F16. It is unfortunate but it is kind of right around the period our f16 is based off from. Were they in service? Yes. Widely used and tested? No. I also think there is a software version difference allowing deployment of the newer JDAM based weapons like the SDB. It would really turn the f16 into a beast on the front line's. However I would think other planes would get the SDB as well if it was put in for the 16. Nothing wrong with that either IMO.

我很确定这甚至不在 F16 的考虑范围内。不幸的是,这与我们的 f16 所基于的时期差不多。他们在服役吗?是的。广泛使用和测试?不。我还认为存在软件版本差异,允许部署基于 JDAM 的新武器,如 SDB。它真的会把 f16 变成前线的野兽。但是,我认为如果将 SDB 放入 16 中,其他飞机也会获得 SDB。IMO 也没有错。

我想有人已经问过这个问题,但由于该软件而被拒绝了。SDB 与 2011 年推出的 M6.1 磁带一起推出,我们可能有类似 M5.1 磁带的东西(由于 VHF 无线电),但仍然错过了一些东西。

 

我很想拥有那些。

 

So, in 2007, F16 has not been integrated yet, is it?

F16C is 2007, SDB is actually combat in October 2006. Does F16 can not send SDB?

That picture is of a F-16C block 30, it is definitely not in 2007, since the 134FS started to receive F-16 in march 2008 from the 186 FS

是的,根据 2007 年的软件版本,SDB 没有集成。

OK,I got it now.

那张照片是F-16C Block 30,绝对不是 2007 年的,因为 134FS 于 2008 年 3 月从 186 FS 开始接收 F-16

All right...

honestly imo its close enough they should just add it.  IIRC on another thread it was determined the first viper tape that was compatible with the SDB came out in 2008.

 

 

According to this it was an M6 that added it, starting circa 2011.

 

Thing is, that tape also adds AIM-120D, AIM-9X Block II and GBU-54. 

 

M6.5 also adds AGM-158 JASSM to.

First, the F16 was never intended to be a multirole fighter 

Second, being multirole has nothing to do with the ability to drop smart weapons

Even so, the fact we can carry HARMs, guided bombs, Mavericks, as well as A/A missiles means we've got an aircraft that is multirole pretty much by definition, it's far away from being "hardly a multirole fighter".

 

And I agree, an aircraft doesn't stop being multi-role just because it (realistically) doesn't have a load of mini-JSOWs.

The Danish F-16A´s where, from the very start, from the design stage, form the very beginning meant to be multirole, with multirole being defined as being designed for and effective against both air and ground targets.
And i highly doubt that the F-16 would be a success if it wasn meant as a multirole plane from the very beginning.
If the Danish F-16A where not meant to be multirole, then, F-16 was the absolutely worst plane we could help develop, build, and operate.
If the F-16 was not meant to be a multirole plane from the very beginning, then buying the F-16 would take away any and all fixed wing A/G capability for the RDAF, which i doubt, considering our role in a European WW3.
Being multirole from the very beginning, also explains why the YF-16 have dedicated A/G controls in the cockpit.
Look at the platforms the F-16 was supposed to replace and that would be another proof that the F-16 was meant for A/G
May i ask you from what information you have that argues that the F-16 was never meant to be multirole platform?

The F-16 was envisioned as a lightweight tactical fighter, but in development it evolved to be multi-role.

 

But to the point - you can't say that because our F-16 (realistically) isn't going to have SDBs, that it's hardly a multirole fighter, when it absolutely is.

 

Even the Tornado IDS is multi-role, even if dedicated to A/G, because A/G encompasses multiple roles (CAS, strike, SEAD, arguably maritime strike, etc).

See Northstar's post. He explains it very well.

 

The original design was a light weight fighter jet. It envolved to a multirole plane, by all the upgrades it received. The Danish F16's were not the first F16's build, they are Block 15's? First production model was the Block 1 with a black radome.

Which meant they already received updates to a new standard. The F16 became "multirole" with the Block 15 upgrade in which they received a new radar and increased capacity for intake hardpoints 

 

So the Danish bought aircraft that had already have some AG capability. This was further enhanced with the Operational Capability Upgrade (OCU) and later the Mid Life Update (MLU), which brought them to the same standard as USAF Block 50/52's.

 

The EPAF (European Participating Air Forces) F16's were in the first place intended to replace the F-104 Starfighter and the Danish F16's were also build by SABCA Belgium

Denmark received Block 1s, as well as 5s, 10s and 15s later. 

 

US F-16s were entered into, and won, the Tactical Bombing Competition, Lossiemouth, in 1981.  The production F-16 Block 1 was not the YF-16, and was always A/G capable (to the lament of those who came up with the original design).  Block 15 added the intake hardpoints (5L/R), not underwing.

 

Back on topic, SDBs would have been great.  But understandable why we won't be getting them.

 

Edit: Also, the Israelis proved the A/G capabilties in combat, also in 1981, with Operation Opera/Babylon

Yes, F-16 and F-15 was part of the low/high doctrine, but that was more a salespoint for more platforms than what was really needed.
Denmark, Norway, Netherlands and Belgium was only interested because it was multirole.
Look into why it was chosen; it replaced many other platforms requiring multirole from the beginning to be even considered, and in Denmark, it became the only combat aircraft we have, now we have two F-35 that are used at training in the States.
You must confuse my statements with someone else, since i did not participate in the SDB discussion directly.

As Majik states, RDAF had the Block 1, first airframe was E-174, also, a natural step since we helped develop and build it.
I asked the RDAF last year which versions we have in stock at the moment, and the answer was that we have Block 10´s and Block 15´s.
The block 10´s can be easily recognised by the black radome.
