hadeh. EF2000 ? lmao

F-16 is fighting with EF

I'm a huge supporter of EF Tranche 4, but this is baffling. If it's $3 bil then it makes sense. But only $1 bil?

Better allocate it to F-15EX or add more Rafale.

(I won't lie I'll still celebrate it if it's gonna be EF Tranche 4, no matter how baffling it is)

If it's second hand Luftwaffe tranche 1, how many we would get?

There is chance to get ex Japan F-15 J as previously Japan already hinted to resold their un upgraded F-15 J to US so can be offered to other countries

Are these all 2nd hand for interim or MoD want to fulfill 100++ fighter as soon as possible?

Or anticipating this

I'm not sure. It also depends whether we want to upgrade them or not.

BAE Systems said this recently to UK Parliament, “It is technically feasible to bring a Tranche 1 aircraft to the standard of a Tranche 2 or Tranche 3 aircraft. BAE Systems has previously provided data to the Ministry of Defence (MoD) that outlines the scope of structural and avionic modifications that would be required."

RAF still have 30 EF Tranche 1 and so far they only use about 42% of airframe lifetime of those jets.

They can't fire Meteor, but they do AIM-120D.

This would be better option to spend that $1 bil than just several brand new EFs (although I won't be complaining for any of them).

Boeing needs more order but we won't give them significant numbers with that 1.6 billion

Just wait till they disclosed/leaked the final number

Maybe with Boeing hungry for order now, US will offer Eagle cheaper.

I think F15IDN will be fine without CFT for now.

I'm all with the F-15EDN without CFT. Imagine the TWR of these birds with 2x F110 GE-129 but without the added weight of the CFT ?

It'll be top notch

But advance avionics and censor such as APG82, EPAWSS, ADCP 2, Sniper pod, IRST, etc still a must!

Talon HATE pod, IRST 21 pod, MS-110 recce pod

Those are secondary accessories, aren't necessary for now. We try to get higher quantity.

More power woth cleaner config also mean it bleed less energy when turning
