Douglas A-4 Skyhawk Ideas and Inspiration

And a non after burning Spey or Olympus?

Douglas (or it might have been McDonnell Douglas) offered a non-afterburning Spey variant of the Skyhawk, but you're probably already aware of that Volkodav

I have a copy of that brochure; very interesting reading since it includes drawings showing the changes from a "stock" A-4.

Oval nose intake Skyhawk

So~ in light of recent events, some authors in Japan decided to ride the bandwagon......

Japanese mercenary/volunteer v.s. PLAAF over Taiwan.  Preview sources HERE

The A-4 is a Super-Super Skyhawk powered by a F414-EPE afterburning turbofan.  The nose looks a tad small for a radar-equipped variant, but since the book is rather upfront about going for an A-4 v.s. Su-35 showdown, I think the author might be trying to primarily emulate the Brazilian AF-1 in terms of sensors and other equipment fit.

The Su-35 is just being a Su-35.

SkyHawk as a proper fighter with a propos radar missils etc... Being tested by US Marines but intended to equip any south american second class carrier, hence the generic "MARINA"
