History:
The F-16CJ Fighting Falcon is a specialised variant of the legendary F-16 family, developed to perform Suppression of Enemy Air Defences (SEAD) missions. Introduced in the 1990s, the Block 50 configuration incorporates improved radar, avionics, and the powerful General Electric F110-GE-129 engine. Its modular payload and advanced targeting systems make it a flexible and lethal component in modern air operations. Deployed by the United States Air Force and several allied nations, the F-16CJ has been active in multiple theatres, from the Balkans to the Middle East, where it continues to prove its value in contemporary air combat and electronic warfare roles.
