Typhoon YAAAY. I just put this here

And also remember its integral part of the Airbus future System of a System

Once we get that 15 Austrian Typhoon T1, the door will be wide open for us to get more used Typhoon or even the latest T3/T4.



Need more Typhoon love in here .

Don't put all of your eggs in the same basket

Can these be upgraded to block 5 and integrated with meteor? Is this estimation with or without the upgrade? Can Hawk T1 be upgraded with new avionics?

I believe all the RAF (single seater) tranche 1's are upgraded to block 5 already...and I think they mothballed the dbl seater tranche 1's for spares etc so those are out of equation.

Block 5 is max upgrade I think for tranche 1 on RAF side. I think spaniards started upgrading their tranche 1's to an even higher standard recently via airbus. (Something like this could be done by BAF too I guess if it wanted).

But tranche 1's cannot have Meteor I believe....the mission computer is a full version below whats needed for meteor ...and upgrading that is/was too pricey (given how the tranche 1, tranche 2 costing worked out with the OEM and clients) compared to buying a new a/c.

Thus tranche 2s and later are meteor ready or can be upgraded to such if they are early block in tranche 2 jsut before meteor adoption (but I think thats all done now by the client AF's).

Tranche 1 (block 5 or not) is AMRAAM-only for A2A BVR AFAIK. ASRAAM and IRIS-T for WVR.

Block 5 latest software has the basic A2G package too.

Upgrades would not affect the time spent/left on airframe fatigue life (just an integral of flight hours compounded)....so that should be ok for BAF....though you probably get more specifics of these block 5s (expected lifetime left etc) a bit later if BAF pursues....but should be 15 - 25 years depending on BAF planned intensity.

Hawk T1 could potentially be upgraded with some new avionics....but probably not worth it, RAF is planning to retire these this decade and by 2030 (replace all with T2)....so you would have to approach OEM specifically to get them on board for it for just a small window of forseeable service time with BAF etc.

for me ,it still make sense if we go for Su30 than Su 35.

Taking its capability as bomb-truck also AShM capability.

If anybody was anticipating Russian jets in the Turkish airforce.

Well Ismail Demir shot it down and say no Russian jets will be bought.

Due to numerous factors like training, compatible weapon systems, price, maintinence and spare parts.

Ismail Demir said Russian jets are different from Western/Nato ones and would lead to starting from scratch.

I dont like this romantiscism bullshit of the Ottoman Empire same for every other empire.

Then again I support Imperialism when we do it.

Its politically incorrect to say that the Middle East was better under the Ottomans than todays disgrace.
