Did you see that one clip of the soldier shooting the SS1 and then the magazine falls off? Pindad quality at its finest. About 1:28

So you're saying we should just buy them instead of potentially assemble them here? Ans you do know that the Air Force wants to upgrade the T/A-50 to the F/A-50 right? Memes aside, working with the Army on the Leopards I have zero confidence in them being able to maintain a fleet of Abrams...

Then why are we buying around 2 more squadrons of LIFT jets? You do realize we still have the Hawk 53's to replace.

Exactly what technology did we secure? The Koreans didn't give us IP rights nor manufacturing rights, and all the components they needed that couldn't be bought from COTS they developed it themselves without Indonesian involvement. So exactly what "technology" are we buying anyways? I'd tell...

So you're inherently saying you also have an agenda. And you don't like it when other people may or may not have agenda but you assume they have one anyway? Pretty cringe my guy.

I'll throw ya a bone. Like I said before, the KFX program isn't going to give the Air Force any edge against the current OPFOR 5th gens nor the incoming 6th gens. They're inherently only marginally better F-16V and doesn't come close at all to the F-35, and that's not coming from me, it's...

I'm asking about a couple of people on my side. Would be interesting to know how much. Hmmm, all of you? Is that right? Also.. >imagine claiming not being obsessed with me but only ever having 8 posts on this website and the majority of that is towards me. Please keep seething kiddo.

I'd imagine so. For the most part, the costliest thing about the EF Tranche upgrades are the fact that you have to replace a lot of wiring and the radome itself just to fit the new components on the Captor-E. And that's only if they somehow manage to overcome the structural limits and power...

Please continue, I'm enjoying the seething as well lmao.

Yes but for how much?

>imagine being this obsessed about me

It's because unlike the EF, we already have the necessary infrastructure to support the Flanker. So at the very least the Su-35 can still "talk" to the legacy Flankers.

Honestly, my gripe is that it's just contradictory to what the official government position against buying used equipment. Whatever happened to that or does EADS equipment not count?

@Alex898 >Typhoon >Affordable Pick one my guy.

I think people should just forget about getting a CAATSA waiver. It's not going to happen. In the grand scheme of geopolitics the US does not see China as an immediate threat to our sovereignty compared to say India or Vietnam.

Are you sure about that? The Air Force people I've talked to said the opposite and are pretty much ambivalent about the whole thing.

Honestly, I don't see any sort Russian deal happening as long as Trump is president. CAATSA is all encompassing.

Well the MRTT is just a less problematic plane to begin with compared to the KC-46. Just hope the AWACS goes to Boeing. The Wedgetail is arguably the most capable AWACS aircraft in the world currently. What's funny is that if the Boeing wasn't too ambitious with the Pegasus, it would have...

Actually that's fairly common. A lot of the RFI's and letters that went through my office contained quite a sizable amount of grammatical errors.

Read it again, it's the same article as the last 2 but just translated to German.
