Hey, Guys,
I am new this forum but I like to pick your brains on this.
My country Air Force is currently for a new kit. The powers-that-be have finalised three different aircraft for the contract. They have not decided (or make the announcement of which one….
By the way, the three aircraft are the F/A-18F (or E), the Su-30MKM and the Mig-29 MRCA.
Cost and support should be the leading criteria as we cannot control the rest (lobby, cash or barter trade and offsets).
BTW, should the JSF be considered? I know BAE Systems have given up hope on the Eurofighter but the Gripen (C/D) could also be considered if they worked really hard….
