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

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

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?
ROK's F-15K version would be likely, and maybe the F-15I the Israelis fly
as well. RSAF has Tornado with Sea Eagle, so they might not need their S's
Harpoon-capable.
