Вооруженный самолет Air Tractor AT-802U
United Arab Emirates Air Force and Air Defence (UAEAF&AD) Air Tractor AT-802U border patrol aircraft, serial 2202, made the type’s public debut at this year’s Dubai Air Show. The aircraft, one of 24 delivered to the UAEAF&AD over the last three years, is used in the counter-insurgency role by the Joint Aviation Command’s Group 18 based at Falaj Hazza Camp in Al Ain. Originally conceived as a crop-spraying aircraft, this military variant has a reinforced wing spar to enable carriage of weapons on six under wing hard points. Weapons options include AGM-114 Hellfire missiles, GBU-12 laser-guided bombs, 500 lb (227 kg) Mk82 bombs, DAGR laser-guided rockets, M260 seven-round rocket launchers and GAU-19/A three-barrel 12.7mm gun pods. A centre line station is normally used for the carriage of sensors. This example is fitted with an EO/IR imager and laser designator turret - probably a BRITE Star II by FLIR Systems.
One of ten IOMAX Border Patrol Aircraft (not an Archangel) in service with the Royal Jordanian Air Force. This example, serial number 1584, is loaded with two GBU-12 laser-guided bombs and the IOMAX mission pod fitted with an MX-15Di imaging system.
Royal Jordanian Air Force IOMAX Border Patrol Aircraft (BPA), with serial number RJ2551 partly obliterated, transited through Luqa, Malta on December 13, 2017. The aircraft, a modified AT-802, had passed westbound through Luqa on June 23, 2017, on its way to the United States for upgrade by IOMAX to BPA Block 2 standard. It left on its journey home the next day.

This shot shows an Archangel configured with a heavy payload comprising two pods carrying missile and radar warning sensors (outer pylons); a Roketsan CIRIT quad pack launcher; three GBU-12s; an IOMAX mission pod fitted with an MX-15Di imaging sensor; and two AGM-114 Hellfire missiles.
The Archangel has a straight constant chord wing making it structurally efficient and ideal for short take-off and landing operations: a requirement at the heart of its requirement as a crop duster.
Note the array of antennas fitted to the Archangel aircraft.
New design features incorporated into the S2R-660-based include a sleeker nose profile and remodelled wing roots.
