Armament


Why not equipped with capability to carry AAMs like ASRAAM (50km range IR missile) or AIM-9X??

Why would we replace SM.. When we are marketing and exporting it to the world...

Because of evolution of requirements.

As you know, mostly radars is installed in the nose section of jets... However, Hurkus got propellers in nose sections, which has advantage to get rid of heat signature or be stealth against thermal cameras... But, you cannot put radars there to fight with Air to air missiles...
I think Turkey test Anka uav for future use with Air to air missiles.. that sounds more realistic as they got propellers on its back side..

Dear AAMs I mentioned in my post don't need radars to track and engage targets, they are mostly IR/EO guided WVR missiles only ASRAAM is near BVR range (up to 50km) IR AAM, which can be very useful for slow moving helicopters and planes.

Against Helicopters, yes you can actually have AtA missiles... As Turkey develops its own AtA missile, most probably, we will see it on them in 2 years...

That's a trainer jet.

Actually T-37 trainer jets can be upgraded to A-37 Dragonfly attack aircraft with some modifications. USAF did it and used it extensively in Vietnam war. It could carry surprisingly high amount of firepower. Here are some vintage pics of A-37.

Even K-8s can/are armed but got training purposes.

Because of evolution of requirements.

SMs are face pylons/lugs/hard points -- and can be modified to carry weapons or recon pods/FLIRs etc.
