Under the section "background" it says "and hardpoints were fitted for an external weapons load of up to 10 lbs."

This is horridly incorrect, nothing useful in the way of Air ot Air or Air to ground weapons is 10lbs, and I am sure it can carry more then 10lbs on its hardpoints, but I dont know the exact numbers, so I wont change it. But someone who does, should 03:56, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

Added overwing pylon info. Note that they were initially tested with the Mantra R550 Magic, only later did they qualify the AIM-9 for use with the overwing pylons. -- Adeptitus 23:49, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

This article says the overwing pylons are unique but I believe that some Lightnings had overwing pylons. Anyone agree? --213.121.151.138 13:46, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

A quick search takes me to Vector site on the EE Lightning and I agree. the F.53 with the Saudis had them and not just for fuel tanks.GraemeLeggett 14:04, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

I understand Harriers have made use of overwing pylons too - or at least have the capability to do so. 84.92.80.169 17:04, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] falklands

It seems that the Jaguar would have been ready for the falklands but isn't listed as having been used. At a guess, I'd say that this was because it couldn't operate from the available aircraft carriers. a)is this right? b)should mention of it be made incase anyone else is thinking the same thing? 82.13.83.244 20:56, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

The Jaguar was not used in the Falklands (I presume you are talking about the 1982 activities) as the Harriers and Sea Harriers were perfectly capable of providing a ground attack platform, and they were carrier qualified. No need to mention it or the many other aircraft that didnt operate in a variety of wars. MilborneOne 21:09, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Variants and Upgradation by India

Indian air force fields different variants of jaguar like the marine attack variant and the ground attack variant. i don't have the technical details, but the article doesnt seem to mention any variants though t talks of variants A to E. Also there seems to be further production and an upgrade of jaguar by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited and is going to remain in IAF for sometime to come. This is not mentioned in the article. 220.227.207.36 07:41, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
