The F-15G would be a very capable SEAD aircraft if had been built.

Another of my favourite what-ifs. It would indeed have been a formidable and useful asset.

iirc the F-15G proposal had the SEAD electronics in a pair of wingtip pods not in a fairing under the nose.

There were ALQ (I forget the number) pods for the outboard weapon stations but they weren't used due to flutter issues (only now are they being reinstated with the new FBW system for the SA).
The chin fairing was actually trialled but again with handling issues (which again could probably be solved with the new FBW system).

There were also proposals for the FAST Packs / CFTs to give up a portion of their fuel load for EW electronics.

What more could you want in an aircraft? Like a Constellation on floats!
Planned development of the Breda-Zappata B.Z.308, but not constructed.

Good morning:

I don't know if this is the right place for this helicopter, or maybe in the real world entry.
MOVED TO REAL LIFE
An Alouette III based romanian light attack helicopter. It not achieved the production status, but was quite interesting, being able to launch even AT-3 Sagger missiles.
Credits: All the tail section was borrowed from Glorfindel's nice Alouette III chopper. Cheers.
