Typhoon is very expensive to maintain and keeping combat readiness high. Also Germany most likely will cause problems.
Sweeden is not going to sell us any military equipment. If somehow they allow the sale, there are lot of critical subsystems which belongs to other countries. If USA won't...
We should really focus on missiles like Raytheons Peregrine missile. That missile if it became operational will be the game changer on air to air combat.
200km missiles like Meteors are good and all but you won't be hitting any fighter aircraft at that range. Ability to carry twice as much...
We most likely won't. Not at least the volume that we don't need F16's. Replacing our fleet will take long time even after we started serial production.
Why would they want it? They are not in any rush and there is no reason for them.
Most likely it won't.
As far as we know, not yet.
How about both? We can reduce the number of TF2000's to 4 and order 8 of theese.
This way we can achive force increase and replace the Gabya's in more economic way. Also we wouldn't need to rush TF2000.
We are developing a national engine. Hopefully it will be ready by the time the serial production begins.
For now. They will most likely block the engines for serial production.
I guess they are hoping that the Korean deal will be finalized by then.
I guess it makes sense that preparing serial production line for the Korean powerpacks. Geting some experience and fixing the problems with the low level production might be beneficial.
Or they might be trying to build...
I really think this project is much much more important than the ATAK 2 project if we prioritize the navalized version first.(like in the picture) Naval helicopters(especially likes of the Sea Hawk) is not the helicopters that you could buy easily and we will really need them in the future. Yes...
Yes. Because according to your claims if i want to swim around some parts of Kas i would violate your maritime border and if i want to jump to the sea i would violate your airspace. And i kinda have a problem with that.
Not really. F35 always planned to be operated with MMU. Only difference is F35 should be the cheaper aircraft while the MMU will be the expensive one(hi-lo concept)
In fact F35 being that expensive likely would altered the numbers that we buy even if we didn't kicked out of the project.
