Hello,

I've just noticed this new blade antenna just next to the blister under the intake.

Is there any closer or better shot of it? and what kind of antenna is that? a new VHF ?

Polish Vipers are also having this antenna, but now I don't know how it works.

Our old Block 10 A's had a blade antenna under the intake.

Steadied myself using it, during walk-arounds on Saturday morning drill after rapid head movements. Not sure what else it was for.

Very Happy

Looks to me like the lower UHF antenna. It's between the ventrals on USAF vipers, USAF block 10 and below had them on the chin also, and all others I've seen but maybe they moved it back up the chin for the Moroccan vipers? Maybe some sort of data link antenna?
