Some questions that come to mind in regards to Block 2 Alphas:
- Were the additional 12 Block-2 Alphas that were ordered, were they all for the PAF or NAF as well?
- Did these 12 also include the 2 that crashed in 2011 and 2016 respectively?
- What will replace the third that crashed in 2020?
Please correct me wherever you notice any errors.
