| Is this a serious question? That's like asking "what's better, the Model T or the Lamborgini Diablo".....what do you think? |

| MLU is not the 52+ model, so we're talking about early nineties tech at best vs. mid-2000s. This means a typical PESA and cold war-era sensors, and the oldie Viper engine vs. an AESA radar, the "spine" full of electronic goodies by default and new sensors and "better" (in terms of SA) cockpit, as well as the GE F110. In all cases, if you have an MLU/block50 you'll really need to have a huge numerical superiority over a block 60 equipped opponent... |

The APG 66 of the MLU Vipres are not PESA they are mechanical scanned; in fact all the Vipers except the blk. 60 have mech scan. radars (APG 66 or various versions of APG 68 ) |

When finishing MLU installs they should spray some of that new car smell stuff inside for effect.  |
