    Hmmmm, but the topic was sales potential, was it not?
    I have a vague memory of Rosoboronexport offering mig 31s to former mig 25 users, with a bouyback of the old foxbats. Has there been any progress?
    Air International reported a few years back about Libyan interest for Foxhounds. Anyone knows?

    I was wondering. Is the old Q 5 Fantan (A 5 for the export market) still in production? If I remember correctly, the price was 4 million $ a pop for the last Palistani A5s. I assume Islamabad get good prices from China but still.
    Could perhaps be something for smaller forces with the focus on ground attack.
    I still believe smaller forces should opt for second hand stuff though.

    Best choice for a small airforce must be the second-hand market. I know thats not the discussion, but second hand Mirage F-1s, Kfirs, Migs, F 5s etc must be a better idea than buying brand new (sic!) F 7s from china.

    Do not forget the mighty Peruvian navy….

    Thing is, if the Argies and the Sambadancers manage to find the funds, their subs are going to be noisy as…. Belgranos of the 21 century.

    …Peru have the (argest sub fleet in latin america) a mighty navy on paper, including a cruiser(!) but is it a powerful force?

    Better to spend the fortunes elsewhere.

    I guess it is very difficult mexico will buy such aircraft, the South Korean jet seems more likely politically speaking, however it is more likely they will buy F-16s or F-18s because politically is more convinient for Mexico at the most Russian or European but i guess at the end it will be F-16s and perhaps some F-18s for the Navy

    IF they end up buying anything at all it’ll be 1-2 squadrons of F 16’s, most likely, ex US, ADV versions. Same kind of birds that Jordan got. Politics aside, I still think the FC-! would be the best option. If for nothing else I believe the Mexican airforce wants “real” fast jet fighters, which rules out the Korean birds.

    Seriously – I think there must be a market for affordable lightweight fighters, especially as many current fighters are so eye-wateringly expensive.[/QUOTE]

    What about the FC-1 then? Brand new, with the capabilities of an early F 16, and cheap!

    Thread *9 ended with some Namibian stuff so why not continue here? I dont know if these have been posted before but since this is my first ever post I hope I am excused if they have.
