F-4E PHANTOM II: Gunfighter model, 1,328 aircraft delivered with General Electric M-61 Vulcan gun, J79-GE-17 engines, leading-edge slats, AN/APQ-120(V) radar, improved navigation equipment and increased fuel capacity. Later production blocks equipped with Target Identification System Electro Optical (TISEO), AN/AVQ-26 Pave Tack target designator. Delivered to USAF, Turkey, Iran and Greece (some converted to F-4E(SRA)). Licence built by Mitsubishi as F-4EJ, delivered to Israel as F-4E(I) Kurnass. Israeli aircraft can carry Shafrir 2 or Python (3,4), in addition to the AIM-7 Sparrow and AIM-9 Sidwinder missiles. Three Israeli aircraft were modified by General Dynimics as F-4E(S) Peace Jack, equipped with HIAC-1 LOROP long-range high resolution reconnaissance equipment. Submodels include GF-4E (ground instruction airframe), NF-4E (development aircraft) and QF-4E (target drone). The F-4E(F) was a proposal for a stripped, low cost, single-seat Phantom intended for the West German Luftwaffe. It was derived from the F-4E and differed by having the rear cockpit faired over and simplified avionics fitted. It had no AIM-7 Sparrow capability. It had modified slats, but was otherwise externally quite similar to the stock F-4E. Initially, the West German government intended to purchase the F-4E(F) for its interceptor squadrons. However, before any F-4E(F) aircraft could be built, the West German government changed its mind and opted for a more straightforward two-seat adaptation of the F-4E Phantom, the F-4F. No F-4E(F) aircraft were ever built. In USAF service, it was replaced by the F-15 Eagle and F-16 Fighting Falcon.
F-4F PHANTOM II:Simplified export for German Luftwaffe, based on the F-4E airframe, but with simplified AN/APQ-120 radar and lacking AIM-7 Sparrow armament and air to air refuelling capability. Measures taken to lighten the airframe were the deletion of the rear number-7 fuel tank, the mid-air refuelling receptacle (later restored), and the BLC system, cutting the weight of the F-4F by 1,500 kilograms (3,300 pounds) compared to the F-4E. Due to its lower weight the F-4F performance is somewhat better than the F-4E. Powered by MTU license built J79-MTU-17A turbojet engines. The first F-4F was delivered September 5, 1973, followed by 174 other airframes. The US based German Luftwaffe Phantoms were unofficially designated TF-4F and NTF-4F (development aircraft).
