The RF-4E is the tactical reconnaissance version of McDonnell Douglas’s acclaimed Phantom II two-seat multi-role fighter.It was developed specifically for export and was the combination of the reconnaissance systems of the RF-4C with the streamlined structure and uprated engines of the F-4E.The Luftwaffe received the first examples in the early 1970s and became a major user along with Japan, Iran, Israel and Greece.Many reconnaissance components and systems were also produced in Germany.The RF-4E was capable of carrying out “all-weather” reconnaissance missions and was able to map the terrain, thanks to infrared sensors, target search systems and camera equipment, in a very effective and precise way.
