History:
The Aerospace Taiwan Company (ATC) in the 80/90s developed a reconnaissance interceptor based on the F-104G.
On the plane installed RWR AN/ALR-56M(T), pulse-Doppler radar AN/APG-63, APS (KOEP) Type 63C-2 and EW system AN/ALQ-165(TM). The interceptor is also equipped with a countermeasures ejection system AN/ALE-72Q with ammo 270 per block.
Modification 7C was gone into production in 1995. It had significant changes in the cockpit, gained the ability to hang an external fuel tank, as well as a number of changes in the airframe. The radar model was rechanged to AN/APG-66M.
In 1990, Switzerland purchased 35 aircraft to replace the Mirage IIIS. In 2005, the Swiss Air Force brought the Block.10 modification interceptors purchased earlier to the Block.20 standard.
Between 1987 and 2001, a total of 312 aircraft were built.
