description:
|
|
"The F-5E was developed by Northrop Corporation in early 1970s. The light\
|
|
\ tactical fighter is an upgraded version based on previous F-5A developments. The\
|
|
\ F-5s' combat role encompasses air superiority, ground support, and ground attack.\
|
|
\ Given its mission flexibility, ease of operation, and low cost, the Tiger II has,\
|
|
\ and continues to serve, air forces across the globe.\n\nThe F-5\u0415 is armed\
|
|
\ with two 20-mm \u041C39-\u04103 cannons with 280 rounds per each cannon. The cannons\
|
|
\ are located in the nose section, forward of the cockpit. Special deflectors are\
|
|
\ used to avoid compressor stall conditions caused by hot gas ingestion as a bi-product\
|
|
\ of operating the M-39-A3. Each cannon is capable of firing at a rate of 1500 to\
|
|
\ 1700 rounds per minute.\n\nEach wingtip incorporates a launcher rail capable of\
|
|
\ firing AIM-9 infrared-guided missiles.\n\nFive hard points (one centerline pylon\
|
|
\ and four underwing pylons) allow the aircraft to carry different types of air-to-ground\
|
|
\ weapons (bombs, cluster munitions, and rockets) 6,400 pounds (about 3000 kg) in\
|
|
\ total. In addition, illumination ammunition and cargo containers can be attached.\
|
|
\ To increase flight duration and range, external fuel tanks can be attached to\
|
|
\ three hard points (a centerline pylon and two inboard pylons). Maneuverability\
|
|
\ and speed can be maximized in combat by jettisoning all external stores."
