Our Army Technical Magasine recently also brought a message AGM-65 was tested for use with the Iranian upgraded Cobra. However, there was no version spec... From wathching the dates of introduction... Most likely AGM-65A/B?

I am not sure which it would be. I would agree with your wise suspections on the earlier model Mavs. However, if the Iranians still have operational Maverick missiles, they would still need the hardware to upgrade their aging Cobra fleet. As they are most likely delegating with Pakistan and China for upgrading their arms, it is possible. Your Army Technical Magazine sounds impressive.

Can a Cobra carry a Maveric or two? Never saw that.

Here is a USMC AH1W firing a Maverick, so if the pic is at least partly real, I hope it did carry it in the first place!

On another matter, Sewter, how sure are you of the ranges you quote in your list of Mav variants? I find 3km quite short even for a very young production variant, and the warp from 27 to 6 km between F/G/K/J and H versions looks like a typo mistake to me. Can you confirm that please?
I have been reviewing the various versions (quite at the same time as you apparently) while seeking info about the Longhorn, but I couldn't find accurate range figures for the different actual versions.

Any further precision welcome!

Thanks anyway for the info!

PlasmaKrab,

Thanks for the pic! Verrrry neet!

Hello, PlasmaKrab, I would like to thank you for your response. The information I use is from the Jane's Information Group. This information is considered reliable enough that media groups rely on it. But it does not mean that it is foolproof. It is possible that it is a typo, but I feel that they have been quite accurate in the past.

Here are two web-sites that you may find useful:
(For the Russian, there are photos of the Pete Mitchell on helicopters)

Designation Systems.net has pretty good info on both the AGM-65 and the AGM-114.

I'd have to stop being lazy and to dig into the pile of magasines, but I'd try to find more abotu the modernisation project. IIRC it was some of last year's editions so it would be in the upper layers;o)
