F-15/16 Harpoon ( Was: B-52/Harpoon)

Somewhat against my better judgment, I got interested in the current
Harpoon discussions and, googling about, found

http://www.chinfo.navy.mil/navpalib/.../wep-harp.html

The Harpoon missile has been integrated on foreign F-16 aircraft
and is presently being integrated on foreign F-15 aircraft.

So the question is, what countries have/are getting Harpoon
capability?

As for the F-16, the answer seems to be ROK, Japan, Saudi Arabia,
Israel, Greece, Poland, etc. Whether they actually implement the
capability is TBD.

Armament:
[other stuff]
AGM-84 Harpoon (block 50 only)

But I haven't been able to find information on who is or might be
getting the F-15 Harpoon versions. Anybody know?

Harpoon is part of the armament package offered for the ROK's F-15Ks.

Since when does Poland have the F-16?

Poland is getting F-16 Block 52s starting in 2006.

Probably not yet, but ISTR they decided upon the F-16 in their
modernization program.

But we won't need to worry about them modifying it for land attack
purposes.

And we don't need to worry about them modifying Harpoon to get a land
attack weapon out of it, either.

No need to modify Harpoon for land attack. We're buying SLAM-ER as well...
