What’s your problem, why are you jumping at me and not the dude who posted the article. The Captor E is not a true AESA radar according to him, I just support his views rather than yours.

A little bit old, but still valid.

Which makes absolute sense not to go for a programme in disarray funded by countries basically in recession.

The U.S economy may not be doing that well either, but hell they still spend a lot on R&D and their Radars are proven.

Rafale already has one ready, so it still retains its competitiveness.

When is the decision due?

Neither.
They in-flight refueled once, while flying in the states, but the rest was flown in parts.

Because they doubt the neutrality of your courts.

They reserve the right to question the neutrality of the Hellenic courts, in public, of course, but they really know how things are done.
Moreover, as I said they can go to a EU court.

Its too much of a risk, now some people will believe one story and others the other. There is always a risk at finding out the truth if its ruled that their version is not correct, it will be bad for them. Its common sense not to go.

That is precisely the point!
In fact they know the truth. They have data, video and voice recorders, plus 3 eye witnesses.

That the trial would have been fair ! It usually do not happen you know, and moreover if he is a serving officer he would have gotten orders not to appear.

Courts in Greek have a bad reputation in being slow and complicated, but they are just and impartial!
Moreover the pilot (…and his government ) reserves the right, to keep appealing until either the trial reaches the supreme court, or even a EU court.

ps. The idea was that his own government would push him to appear 😉

You are not serious.. Who would be that stupid to actually appear there? Would you attend a trial in Turkey?

You dont get it flex.

If the turkish pilot was innocent (i.e things happened as claimed by THK), and presented all facts to prove it, he would be acquitted. 😉

He knew it, he chose not to.

Of course he was not stupid to attend. Just a lousy pilot.

The Greek magazine “Hellenic Defense” will print tomorrow, the evaluation standards concerning the bid for the new fighter, that were specified from the supreme air council.

According to a prelude, at the above web page, the air force is shouting for Eurofighters, although that word, of course, is not used.

Lets see how good, the PMs hearing, is.
