In the early 1970s, the improved version was developed, called the F-5E Tiger II.
It was marked by the introduction of General Electric's new J85 turbojet engines, which could provide much higher thrust and better performance.
The F-5 Tiger II features a lengthened and enlarged fuselage, more fuel on board ensuring greater range and an improved avionics system.
The main armament consists of two 20 mm cannons installed in the nose under the cockpit and several bases capable of carrying combinations of air-to-air missiles.
The F-5E was a huge commercial success.
It was also produced under license in Switzerland, Taiwan and South Korea.
