McDonnell Douglas F4E Phantom

F-4E PHANTOM II: Gunfighter model, 1,328 aircraft delivered with General Electric M-61 Vulcan gun, J79-GE-17 engines, leading-edge slats, AN/APQ-120(V) radar, improved navigation equipment and increased fuel capacity.

Later production blocks equipped with Target Identification System Electro Optical (TISEO), AN/AVQ-26 Pave Tack target designator. Delivered to USAF, Turkey, Iran and Greece (some converted to F-4E(SRA)). Licence built by Mitsubishi as F-4EJ, delivered to Israel as F-4E(I) Kurnass. Israeli aircraft can carry Shafrir 2 or Python (3,4), in addition to the AIM-7 Sparrow and AIM-9 Sidwinder missiles. Three Israeli aircraft were modified by General Dynimics as F-4E(S) Peace Jack, equipped with HIAC-1 LOROP long-range high resolution reconnaissance equipment. Submodels include GF-4E (ground instruction airframe), NF-4E (development aircraft) and QF-4E (target drone). The F-4E(F) was a proposal for a stripped, low cost, single-seat Phantom intended for the West German Luftwaffe. It was derived from the F-4E and differed by having the rear cockpit faired over and simplified avionics fitted. It had no AIM-7 Sparrow capability. It had modified slats, but was otherwise externally quite similar to the stock F-4E. Initially, the West German government intended to purchase the F-4E(F) for its interceptor squadrons. However, before any F-4E(F) aircraft could be built, the West German government changed its mind and opted for a more straightforward two-seat adaptation of the F-4E Phantom, the F-4F. No F-4E(F) aircraft were ever built. In USAF service, it was replaced by the F-15 Eagle and F-16 Fighting Falcon.

F-4E-2000: Upgrade for Israeli F-4Es, designed by Israel Aircraft Industries. Upgrade includes structural improvements (replacement of aircraft skin plating), new hydraulic systems, additional fuel tanks and complete rewiring. New avionics include Elta EL/M-2002 radar, Kaiser HUD, Elbit LCD, HDD, HOTAS and Mil-Std-1553B databus. Planned re-engining with Pratt & Whitney PW1120 turbofan engines was cancelled. IAI also modified 84 Turkish F-4Es to F-4E-2000.

F-4E 2020 Terminator: In 1995, Israel Aircraft Industries of Israel implemented an upgrade similar to Kurnass 2000 on 54 Turkish F-4Es which were dubbed the F-4E 2020 Terminator. Dedicated to air-ground with Popeye-1/2, LGB, AGM-65 Mavericks and Litening III.

F-4ETM Simsek: Another local Turkish upgrade, dubbed Simsek (Lightning), introduces new avionics, navigation and secure digital communications equipment, plus replacement flight software and improved mission planning equipment. Related structural renovation work is being conducted by the air force's maintenance centre in Eskisehir. The first of 16 upgraded aircraft was delivered September 2010.
