I haven't seen bays on TFX, but as you I'm not sure. I wrote "according to LM definition".... But according to that even F35 is not a true 5th gen because non supercruising (and less agile than a F16), so.... F16 upraded? with what? Turkey ask for block 70 upgrade kit (not allowed so...

I said that Kursk was not a russian victory. It was Hitler's choice to halt the operation (against Manstein own opinion). ****...

Seems that half of the "modern" russian MBT already vanished. T55/T62 will be nearly useless against modern west MBT and IFV with ATGM. PS : Kursk was not a russian victory : they lost hundreds T34... it was the germans that decided to halt operations because of the US landing in Sicily

More and more customer say Rafale is a 5th gen fighter.... And, according to Lockeed Martin, TFX as KF21, are not 5th gen because without internal bay.... But if you want to compare Turkey and France or Greece or Egypt : F16 is not able to compete with Rafale.

Turkish air force strengh will lowered.... And never expect to see a first TFX before 10 years in squad. Not a bad news from a French point of view (and some others). Time to say halt to the 21st century small feet Sultan.

If you want to modernize your air force, the answer is : YES. https://www.defensenews.com/congress/2023/02/02/senators-want-to-block-turkey-f-16-sale-until-nato-expansion-succeeds/ **** It was freithening one year ago. Now it is pityfull. The sole asset that remains to Russia is its nukes...

It's like comparing apple and strawberry : RBE2AA was the prototyp of RBE2 with USA T/R modules. US modules quite big and not so powerfull (it offered only 25% more range than RBE2PESA). The real and serialy produced RBE2 with active modules is called RBE2-AESA. It uses european T/R modules...

Just because it was nearly for free, and a political gift from France. France intend to use its 60 Mirage 2000 D for 12 to 15 more years. How is it possible without spares ?

And you? who are you the bitch of ? Ok, show us this declassifield cable....

It's a joke ? France is 1/7 of USA... So yes, there are military campaigns we are not strong enough to go in.

France has no master. We can leave NATO as we want, as already made. You are misunderstanding with Great Britain.

LOL. How are the 60 x UAE M2000 and 100 French M200 and greek ones... flying now ?

It is and will be NO. The weapons deals future of France in the area is India. And more specially just before a french Pres. visit in India very soon, a potential 2nd Rafale batch for IAF and some Rafale M for Indian Marine.... NO. Qatar Mirage 2000 are among the older of the -5 model. Less...

But the efficiency of M2000 is far better. In range, load, AtoA capacity, agility. Big doubt.

We sent artillery, bonus shells, anti tanks and anti aircraft missiles, light tanks, armored vehicules, etc... This is not our war. We don't want to fight against russia. that's all. are we obliged to agree with this communist party sentence? :disagree:

Stupid chinese cat : Taiwan people don't want to live in the communism China. The Hong Kong experience is more than enough to say they are right. Brits are brits. Since Churchill we all know they are an illegal US state. France is another beast. We don't rely on US for jets, nukes, SSN and...

I repeat : Taiwan is not China. It will be the next big conflict subject. Before entering in Paris, be ready to deal with nearly 50 x 300Kt AMPS-A and 48 x 6 x 110kt M51 warheads. It's all but a Republic.

I agree, but instead of having military people, better increase the teachers & doctors.
