However, the 600 Gal version cannot be dropped when the aircraft enters a dogfight and therefore, can be carried when the aircraft is armed for all aspect combat (when maneuvering relative to the target is not required), or maintained in relatively safe flight pattern (such as various mission support roles) or being escorted by other fighters. <a href="https://defense-update.com/20060728_f-16-fuel.html" target="_blank">https://defense-update.com/20060728_f-16-fuel.html</a>El tema es si se justifica saltar a ellos, o a los conformal fuel tanks (otro elemento disponible para los Bloque 50) ya que se cuenta con 3 KC-135E.<img src="https://www.aircraftresourcecenter.com/Rev4/3601-3700/rev3615-Isracast-32015/01.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Y éste tiene combustible para regalar:<img src="https://farm2.static.flickr.com/1423/5185274113_fdf6c7e1c4_b.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />2 CFT + internal + 2 subalares de 600 galones + bajo fuselaje de 300 galones.Da como resultado:The proposed extended-range F-16ES (Enhanced Strategic) version of the Fighting Falcon was originally developed for the Israeli strike fighter competition. In order to provide increased range, conformal fuel tanks which hold an extra 3,200 lb. of fuel were to be fitted. When combined with a 320-gal. centerline tank and two 600-gal. underwing tanks, the F-16ES has an unrefueled mission radius of 1,025 mi. when carrying a typical strike load of two 2,000-lb. bombs and four air-to-air missiles. That represents a 40% increase over the range of the current U.S. Air Force <a href="http://www.f-16.net/f-16_versions_article9.html" target="_blank">block 50</a> F-16C and is roughly equivalent to that of the F-15E, according to Lockheed. However, this project lost out to the McDonnell Douglas Strike Eagle in the competition.In addition to the conformal fuel tanks, the F-16ES also features an internal forward-looking infrared (FLIR) system, which basically replicates the capabilities of the <a href="http://www.f-16.net/f-16_armament_article2.html" target="_blank">LANTIRN</a> navigation and targeting system without the drag associated with external pods. Following the loss of the Israeli strike fighter competition to the F-15I Strike Eagle (the Israeli export version of the F-15E), Lockheed has resurrected the project following an expression of interest by several other nations. A.o., Lockheed offered the F-16 <a href="http://www.f-16.net/f-16_versions_article10.html" target="_blank">block 60</a> (sometimes referred to as the F-16U) to the <a href="http://www.f-16.net/f-16_users_article22.html" target="_blank">United Arab Emirates</a>.

A new mission planning and management system, new Electronic Countermeasures (ECM)/Electronic Support Measures (ESM) system, and upgrades in the cockpit would also be included.According to the sources, the studies are also considering increasing the number of Block 50 aircraft, adding six to eight to the current fleet of 10 Block 50s; and how many of the 36 mid-life upgrade second-hand aircraft bought from the Netherlands would be upgraded. <a href="https://www.janes.com/article/75410/chile-eyes-f-16-upgrades-new-aesa-radars" target="_blank">https://www.janes.com/article/75410/chile-eyes-f-16-upgrades-new-aesa-radars</a>Saludos</blockquote>
