If we don't have the right to repair, then how is it that we were able to scramble F-16's to intercept US Navy Hornets in 2003? Just accept you were wrong and let us continue the thread topic.

Actually Nike, the reason our F-16's were still flying to intercept the Navy Hornets back then was because of clandestine support from the Dutch Air Force, which they wouldn't have done unless the US didn't give them the go ahead. Basically the Dutch gave us a lot of their spare parts for their...

Unless you have around $750 million growing somewhere, a CAATSA sanction is going to cause 98' level pandemonium. Our country is currently undergoing an economic slowdown, also our currency is the most under performing in Southeast Asia right now. A US led sanction isn't just going to effect...

CAATSA sanction IS a big deal. I don't think you realize how much of a big deal it is. For one our government and our country IS weak. We have a trade deficit with the US, it accounts for a lot of our exports and investment. A sanction will literally cause 98' riots level pandemonium that would...

I agree, 100 is too small. Rather I say that 100 (again, excluding the T-50's) should be the bare minimum in order for us to sufficiently generate sorties until help arrives. 100 airframes + weapons would allow us to survive at least 2 weeks.

We are not ready to operate the F-35. If we don't even have basic support planes like AWACS and A2A Tankers along with weapons to arm the fighters we already have, there is zero point for us to operate the F-35. A 5th gen fighter without the necessary support network is not a deterrence at all...

You do realize they can curb stomp our military even WITH our numerical superiority right? They have a larger Air Force and a much more sophisticated Navy. They don't need to match the number of personnel we have because at the end of the day, force multipliers and logistics will determine the...

Expect US made fighters over anything else. I am honestly interested whether or not shipyards like Bath Ironworks or Newport News Shipbuilding would join the fray. Having more competitors in our shipbuilding programs would honestly lower costs whilst increasing tot contracts. I'd rather we...

SOMEBODY PICK UP THE PHONE BECAUSE I CALLED IT! This is why I have always supported the idea of 1 common airframe + support aircraft and tri-service datalinking. The idea that our current armed forces is a big deterrent is asinine. Keep in mind this is just Singapore, the Chinese have an even...

Bet Better yet why not just have 1 common CIWS system and stick to the Oerlikon.
