It's not part of the EOtech, that's all I know. It's a separate piece that also has a rail on top.

And this, although about a year old now, is one of Iran's surviving Tomcats, looking at least decent externally, and apparently upgraded enough to merit a new suffix. The MIM-23 comment is interesting, though, because the last sources I remember reading about that said it'd been scrapped as too complex/not useful enough.


For what it's worth, the only source I can find for an F-14AM is photography blogs, so I'm guessing one of them made it up after the missile/fire-control patchwork done. If anyone has something reputable that explains this any further, I'd love to read it.

This is really your first time seeing SWAT wearing camo? I think camo is more popular than one solid color uniforms nowadays. ACU, MARPAT, multicam, woodland, everybody's wearing the poo poo and has been for a while now.

FWIW the MCU2/P mask seals exactly where my goatee is. I also don't think that's a good enough reason, since we're not likely to be gassed at most locations.

Well, the F-16 can shoot before the MiG-21 will detect it on radar. So there's that.

Fake edit: It's weird to me that almost all stock E-3 photos are loving old. The ESM antennae (the "cheeks" are the easiest to notice, especially from tanker pictures) have been there for twenty loving years. Stop using pictures from pre-1995, internet!

Even on a GIS, 90% of the pics are "back in the day" it wasn't just you. Awesome pics by the way.

Granted I don't know much about France's actual involvement in Afghanistan, but a quick Google search tells me they spent 11 years and 88 lives fighting a war that they didn't have to. So what makes them dickholes?


Every French military person I've run across was more interested in US technology and capabilities than anything related to the war or exercise at hand. No, rear end in a top hat, I'm not going to explain our radar's anti-jam capabilities. That's my personal experience...I later heard a good one about the French antennae and dishes aimed at the US side of the base during Desert Storm at PSAB or something.
