fighters only be kind of like weapon extension for the E-7

More like E7 is third eye of Fighters.

Our air force uses data link? What data link they used all this time?

This's a serious question. I'm clueless about it

I think If not Link 16 then Non at all.

How about that Scytalys? For sure not Link 16.

If we used Link 16, it just same as we predetermined who's our friends even before any war happen. Not non-bloc at all, right?

More like E7 is third eye of Fighters.

Also the magic of AMRAAM (and others that lock on with radar rather IR), it's not just the aircraft that launch them can give the target, but also others with the same data link (Link 16), including blimp actually, the discontinued JLENS. But still, the launchers are the one who slave the weapon, the decision to launch is up to them.

From $13B+ to $3.3B, I wonder how much are omitted from the original DSCA announcement.

Down to 24 units.
Less or no spare of engines, radar, navigation, IRST pod, targeting pod, JHMCS, etc.
And most probably No epawss

 

[Umigami]

If it's me I'd rather go for less units to get full specs.

 

[Umigami]

Will there be a new released DSCA with updated info on the package if we're really buying it?

I don't think so. Why we need get permission again to buy something less?

Because "something less" is not a quality that DSCA accounts for. They only account individual components and approve. If there's a change of component, so does the details of what DSCA notifies to the congress.

I think E-7 not always available. Or maybe not available at all lol.

Edit: looks like the different is just the basing, but the area for exercise still same CMIIW. Friends from abroad need to be closer to city so they can halan-halan lol

Singapore actually also brought their G550 if based from unconfirmed video below

Maybe more to come. The point is they'll visit more places and more update on Eagle than Rafale.

I just realized it's from 3rd Squadron. I thought 16th Squadron because of RAAF MRTT tracked above Sumatra posted here few days ago.

But Scytalys is newly developed. Are you saying all this time AU actually have no data link and used radio as usual?

Can we put thales Link Y to air force US stuff?

After looking more about it, LEN actually also made it and already used by Indonesian military. But this one is indigenous systems, which mean you know, not interoperable with other countries.
