Both Thorium and Fusion is just hype atp. SMR is dead (costs and regulations are too much for the energy it supplies to the grid). Only way forward is PWR. Russia is the leading country at the moment with having both VVER's and BN's operating. They are now building BN-1200, a 1200MWe Breeder...
Yes, that's exactly what I meant. Old 27s and 29s have to revert to lobbing cruise missiles while Russian aircraft operate inside Ukraine. Btw Su-57 has been operating inside Ukrainian airspace.
So what gain would we get from procuring EFs? Apart from increasing numbers...
Yeah, and they work against what exactly? (I am talking about old Ukranian 27s and 29s) They are useless against Russian aircraft. What they do with their 27s and 29s are comparable to what we are doing with F-4s...
