Tthe 제너럴 다이내믹스 F-16 파이팅 팔콘 미국 공군(USAF)의 제너럴 다이내믹스(현 록히드 마틴)가 개발한 단일 엔진 초음속 다목적 전투기입니다. 공기 우수 데이 전투기로 설계, 그것은 성공적인 전천후 다역할 항공기로 진화. 1976년 생산이 승인된 이래로 4,500대 이상의 항공기가 건조되었습니다. 미 공군이 더 이상 구매하지는 않았지만 수출 고객을 위해 개선된 버전이 여전히 만들어지고 있습니다. 1993년 제너럴 다이내믹스는 항공기 제조 사업을 록히드 코퍼레이션에 매각했으며, 1995년 마틴 마리에타와 합병된 후 록히드 마틴의 일원이 되었습니다.
제너럴 다이내믹스 F-16 파이팅 팔콘의 많은 변형은 제너럴 다이내믹스, 록히드 마틴 및 다양한 라이센스 제조업체에 의해 생산되었습니다.

Teaching an Old Dog New Tricks
Tthe F-16BM MLU(Mid-Life Update) is the two-seat trainer/combat version of the original F-16A/B Block 15. In the 1990s, five European nations (The Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark, Norway, and later Portugal) undertook a massive upgrade program. The goal was to bring their aging airframes up to the electronic standard of theF-16C Block 50/52. The result was a lightweight airframe with a heavyweight punch, capable of firing the latest beyond-visual-range missiles and precision-guided bombs.

The Modular Mission Computer (MMC):The heart of the MLU is the MMC, which replaced multiple older computers. It allows the F-16BM to use modern “M-tapes” (software updates) that add compatibility for new weapons like theJDAM 그리고 Iris-T.
“Bird Slicers” (AIFF):A key visual identifier for the MLU are the four blade-like antennas in front of the canopy. These are part of the Advanced Identification Friend or Foe system, crucial for long-range missile engagements.
The Glass Cockpit:The old analog dials were replaced with two 4×4 inch Color Multi-Function Displays (MFDs). It also features a Wide-Angle Head-Up Display (WAC HUD) and is compatible with Night Vision Goggles (NVG).
Link 16:This digital datalink allows the F-16BM to “talk” to AWACS (like the E-3 Sentry), ships, and other fighters, sharing a real-time map of the battlefield without saying a word over the radio.
The “B” Variant: Trainer and Combatant
Two Seats, No Compromise:Unlike many trainers, the “BM” is fully combat-capable. While it carries slightly less internal fuel than the single-seat “AM,” it is often used for complex missions where a second set of eyes is an advantage, such asForward Air Controlling (FAC).
Operational Excellence:European MLU Vipers have seen extensive combat in Kosovo, Afghanistan, Libya, and more recently, are being prepared for transfer to우크라이나to modernize their air defense.
Structural Reinforcement (PACER SLIP):As part of the MLU, the airframes underwent structural work to extend their fatigue life, allowing these 1980s-built jets to fly well into the 2020s.
The Tail Parachute:Most European F-16s feature a large fairing at the base of the vertical stabilizer containing a drag parachute for landing on short, icy runways—a feature not usually found on American Vipers.
