F5A Freedom Fighter CDkit represents the affordable and supersonic interceptor and ground attack weapon used in Vietnam by US and South Vietnamese.

F5A 1962, Northrop built 624, and 200 F5B trainers. Canadair built 240 CF5As, and CASA built 70.

F5A used 2x GE engines for mach 1.3, had 2x Pontiac M39 20mm cannons, and 2x wingtip AIM9s, and could carry about 4400 lbs stores. Faster than MiG17 and MiG-19, with superior maneuverability.

F5C (modified F5A) was flown by the U.S. South Vietnam allies in Vietnam.

South Korea – 100 F5A/Bs and 120 F5Es,

Netherlands – got ~100 Canadair built NF5A/B, replaced by F16.

Norway - 108 F5A (as F5AG)/B, 1966-1971.

When you finally saw an F5, you already had a missile up your butt.

F5E Tiger II upgraded version of F5C Skoshi Tiger with 2x GE J85-21s to equal MiG21 export. All had inertial navigation system, TACAN and ECM equipment.

F5E standard Radar Emerson Electric AN/APQ-153 (F5E CDkit) had 10 mile range.

F5E most upgraded radar Emerson AN/APQ-159 radar range ~20 miles. F5E ‘too expensive’ radar upgrade was Emerson AN/APG-69 with mapping.

South Vietnam got 160 F5A/Es based at Bien Hoa or Da Nang AB. Switzerland built 90 F5E/Fs and 44 became ‘Aggressors’ at Nellis, Miramar (F5N), Clark, and RAF Alconbury.

Iran – has ~75 F5Es one of which shot down a MiG25. Iran operates redesigned F5s as HESA Azarakhsh, Saeqeh, and Kowsar.  

The F5, ‘within visible range,’ achieved a = 2:1 kill ratio against F14 Tomcat, and slightly less against USAFs F15 Eagle, and Su27.

Dollar for dollar, The F5 could best any fighter in the world.
