Good for her. Eventually they'll spank the world with all they make and join the big clubs and their name will be quite recognizable.

Sorry my bro, I didn't get any of these tags. Must've been during the time when tags weren't working or you know I would've immediately responded.

Do you guys like this format?
Love it. Love the photoshop of the UAE block-60 carrying that phtoshopped missile you stuck in there. The only thing that would've made me think it might be PS is the size of that monstrosity! lol. Are they really that big?
With this new memorandum of understanding with the US that Egypt just signed, that should open the door wide open to look everywhere for special munitions to integrate on our F-16s. We have WAY too many Vipers with constant laser pointed designator to achieve a kill and who knows the range DESPITE the US Navy still using newly manufactured Sparrows quite often and my guess is the ones they have are fire and forget and if the US doesn't want the provide the AIM-120 C-7 even, not the C-5 it's too late they need to make up for having our balls tied for so long and with the arrival of all the super lethal Russian weapons, the memorandum will not be enough to secure a good relationship with the US unless they offer the full MLU package on all our 209 Vipers including installing the new AESA radars and the missiles of course AND, since the US has a great relationship with the UAE, they shouldn't have any problems with the EAF integrating several of these HALCON missiles AS WELL. Enough is enough or we're going full bore Russian and half bore eurotrash.
I even told @The SC if they want to separate what they would sell us instead of including it in the aid which might be something that also discourages them from providing them. So the EAF negotiators need to smarten up and make these offers since here's what I'm thinking. They're supplying us with all these aircraft and GBUs and missiles and bombs and spare parts and maintenance for free with the aid package and they're watching us buy over $39 billion worth of Russian jets, French, German and Italian sips worth 10s of billions of $ and the us is getting NADA! Zilch. I would be like **** *** if you want some of our advanced weaponry and you've signed the CISMOA and not this other memorandum of understanding that includes a lot of very interesting things that we need to tell them we're getting involved with HALCON and we need to integrate them with the AIM-120C-7 and 9X asap and if not, keep giving us the free stuff you pay for and we're going full bore Russian (which we are anyway) and full bore Euro Trash and full bore UAE participation if they allow us to.
