If I've understood Wikipedia correctly, what it's calling "Phase 2" of the Hawk missile program [0] is when some vacuum tubes were replaced.

There are 12 countries (including some rich ones) listed as using the Phase 1 upgrade of the missile, which is presumably still full of vacuum tubes [1]. This is the 30 year old upgrade to a missile developed 60 years ago.
