Request a look-down-shoot-down capability for Phantom II
« on: January 31, 2023, 04:15:33 AM »

The F-4 J had a " look-down-shoot-down " capability thanks to its fire control radar AWG-10 .
I think that it means that it could drop its bombs on a target while flying level .

 " in late 1966 McDonnell introduced a new, improved version – the F-4J. This version featured a revised and strengthened internal structure, more powerful J79-GE-10 engines (the smokeless, 10B version was introduced later in 1978), new, wider tires (resulting in bulges on the top part of the wings), a few aerodynamic improvements for decreasing the approach speed (changes to inboard leading edges and slotted stabilator), and most importantly, new AWG-10 radar, with solid-state elements and prominent look-down, shoot-down capabilities "
