then Mi-17 would be better, but I guess a free Huey is a free Huey

seems like a bad idea since Israel has nukes and Iran was close to making their own. the chances of any country using nukes against Palenstine and KSA are nil, and don't need a nuclear umbrella.

the systems are good, but the craftsmanship of the ship looks poor. I understand sanctions and budget, and I'm sure follow up ships will be better, but it's got no chance against other navies in the region.

most versatile man portable weapon in the world IMO, and it keeps getting better.

need to cut programs that we don't need to make it a reality. cut most if not all of your BMD programs, that right there will save the U.S $50 billion over 10 years. scrap LCS it's a failure and a waste of money. that'll save u.s another $10 billion replace LCS by outsourcing the construction...

JF-17 better than the F-16 blk 52 :what: how did you come to this conclusion. I would make a deal that for 32 F-16 Block 52 for an airbase in Eastern Pakistan (5 year lease). from there we could station a squadron of MQ-9,F-15E, and AC-130s.

looks very crude :o:

true. it's crazy how little commonality there is between the three variants and it's shame how Northrop Grumman got pushed out of the plane making business. https://theaviationist.com/2015/02/25/f-14s-that-never-were/

don't think it has anything to do with the age of the fleet, but lack of experience.

what went wrong is trying to replace several different planes with their own benefits with one common design that can do the job, but not as effective. in hindsight I would have liked if it turned out like this F-111/F-15E replaced with FB-22 F-15/16 replaced with the F-35A F/A-18 replaced...

I just want to comment on a few of your points yes it needs a landing strip, but it can land on unpaved dirt which there is plenty in Kenya. I believe you are referencing the OV-10A and not the later OV-10D? the OV-10A was under powered both of engines putting out 715HP compared to the more...

this is an interesting video It would be awesome if a 1/3 of motor fuel comes from E-85 shame we can't grow sugar cane in the U.S like they do in Brazil. It's so much more efficient than corn and cheaper.

if you are coming to the U.S you might as well visit NYC and then hit up Yellowstone and the Grand Canyon and finish off in Hollywood.

yes I know you can add a wing to these bombs to give them longer range, but what would the time on target be for a 75KM glide bomb?? 3 to 5 minutes? plenty of time for a missile or CIWS to kill it. now I'm quite interested in the MDBA Spear 3

they need OV-10s. faster,longer range, and better armament

it's all our fault I won't deny it. arming the taliban against the USSR, and then getting attack by one of our "former assets" Osama. invading and toppling Saddam which created a power vacuum and Al Qaeda and ISIS then supporting the arab spring which toppled governmenst in North Africa and...

I wonder how hard it will be getting people to go digital. I think India people like tangible things you know like gold and paper currency. you would need a lot of faith in the government to give that up.

India F-16s would be a tier above Pakistan F-16s everything would be better from the radar to the missiles but India wants to stick it out with the LCA Tejas :undecided:

time to dolarize :coffee:
