Photographer's remark
(26.6.2018, 16:00 CET)
This EKA-3B Skywarrior was used for electronic counter measures as well as aerial refuelling. In this photo you can see some detail on the refuelling probe, one of the ECM pods as well as some cockpit detail. It is strange that the pilots seat is ahead of the windscreen arch. The seat would have to retract almost a foot to the rear prior to ejection I would think. It appears that the catapult is connected to the jet from the hooks under the fuselage rather than from the nose wheel. This is quite a large aircraft for carrier use.
