Would leasing 2 squadron of Jag from the Indian AF (maintenance contracted in India) help in cutting the cost of Expeditionary deployment and secure the 200+ airframe market? Would it be a win-win strategy for UK, Fr or Sweden?
– FR: No M2Kd risible upgrade and increase in cap at a similar level of cost
– UK: Let the RAF and GAF deal with the Tornado obsolescence by focusing remaining airframe life on near peer adversary.
– Sweden: Palliate the need for more Gripen airframe and let some flows out on export.
Ultimately, will the Jag be relevant in most of the intended usage (my answer is Yes)?
Please debate peacefully.
Advice to reader: the Jag is not the car made in Britain.
Notice to user: Yes, I wake up this morning feeling like I was Bacon myself.
