BR What sort of weapon pod is that under the nose of the F-86


Its only armament - 28 FFAR in retractable tray - later the Danish F-86D
were modified to carry two Sidewinders on pylons in front of the main
wheels.

Was that any use against Russian bombers? I thought they were used mainly
against thin skinned ground vehicles or troops. However the Sabre Dog was
an all weather interceptor right? Sort of the "sneak up and hit them
between the eyes with a ball-peen hammer" then wouldn't you say?
