And surprise surprise you twist the answer around to suit your world view! Embraer does an industry standard process in outsourcing and it is the road to disaster! Sukhoi do exactly the same thing and it is a level headed decision by a private venture in your world!

You are so petty in your twisting of the facts that it is farcically comical!

Of course of course Embraer an established manufacturer with a solid order book will just fold in the face of competition with the MS-21 and Superjet-100….don’t think so.

So your current pet theory with the KC-390 is the program will have no R&D skills benefit for Brazil. That is such a nonsensical idea it is almost child like in its outlook! How old you JSR? Only a child would come up with such a silly idea!

Again you show your complete lack of understanding of how the Western aerospace industry works. Western aerospace companies competitively outsource sub systems and components. The suppliers effectively become risk sharing partners in the program. Embraer didn’t have experience in certain areas of development for the program, rather then your solution which is sit around and wait until your domestic industry has caught up they got on and sourced what they needed. It allows for a flexible speedy program that gets an aircraft out there being sold directly helping the countries trade balance (just to reference your irelivant link). This model has been one of the key reasons of success for the Western aerospace industry! By the way this is EXACTLY the model Sukhoi adopted for its Superjet 100! The Superjet 100 is a who’s who of Western component and system suppliers from Messier- Dowty, through Honeywell, Goodrich Corporation and many more! Many of those outsourced components could of been supplied by Russian companies but Sukhoi decided that if the program was to be successful on the global market in a timely fashion they had to select a Western style outsourcing model! … What is your excuse for that then JSR?

Regardless of the balance of trade for Brazil Embraer is a success story, the KC-390 is an entirely logical move which is paying dividends with its already clocked up sales.

Ah sorry Google translate initially said Croatian, it now says Serbian.

Nevertheless it is a speculative report questions the validity of the idea. Sorry aside from the Kobac I don’t see any truth in the rumours.

According to the link:
Analizirali smo i četiri motora svetskih marki: „snecma“, „rolce-royce“, GD,„pratt & whitny“

So nearly all the main western engine manufacturers, that reeks of speculation.

Errm well, Kobac offered to UAE totally believable. J-22 back into production as a LIFT is as Swerve says astonishing and frankly hard to believe. Novi Avion as a LIFT romantic but probably a fantasy.

UAE is already buying M-346 why would they want another supersonic LIFT type? If they wanted production experience they could probably negotiate another batch of M-346 in CKD form.

I also checked the article that GrM sourced from and it is actually Croatian, speculative and questioning how Serbia could do such a thing.

Look I know there are some here who love to see a full renaissance in Serbia’s aerospace industry but by the looks of it this entire thread is built upon wishful thinking and Chinese whispers!

It is not really an issue for Bangladesh so pass on them. As for India well the reaction will be markedly different depending who you listen to.

The Indian airforce internally might have some mild tactical concerns but in general considering how much they out-gun the PAF it will probably not be too much of a concern. On the other hand the Indian Airforce might raise a bit of a stink through the press as a way of gaining funding support.

LOL. So not only are you predicting the failure of the KC-390, you’ve decided all of Embraer is on the verge of collapsing.

Yeah this is alongside his theory that Airbus when soon collapse because of pressure from the il-476, Superjet Tu-204, Tu-214 and MS-21. In his world the A-330 is a sales disaster that can’t compete with the upcoming il-476 despite them being in different market segments and the Airbus having a massive sales backlog until its replacement by A350. Apparently Russia will cut off the Titanium supplies according to JSR meaning Airbus, Boeing and every other Western manufacturer will collapse in the face of Russian competition…I find his fantasies funny now!

Slightly confused here, first picture is a Su-27KUB. Is the second picture a tandem seat J-15?

From what I know the ATR 46/72 type of aircraft have suffered from icing issues in the past as airliners with a number of crashes due to this maybe not so good low over the North sea

On a side note I have my first ever flight in an ATR-72 in a couple of weeks time, am I the only person here who checks what I am flying in for Business trips so I can add interesting new types to flightdiary.net … I bet not 😉

A few days working in Cork flying out in an A320 and returning in an ATR-72.

I have to say if we change the way we do business and take out deep blue water C-295 could become a player however we do have to take into account that its not just UK waters we need to think about its also deloyments out side the UK such as the Falklands. Also C-295 comes from a transport back ground and know 295 has better seats for the operators but having spent 6 hours in a C-130J in Aug I would feel sad for guys having to man 295 for up to 8 hours. Now as for Poseidon getting cheaper you are right with numbers costs come down But one big problem any fall in cost would be wiped out by the fact we are British and could not just buy it off the self with out playing with it which would push the cost back up and this I feel will be the same for C-295 so you and I know deep down off the self is never quite that with us Brits

Well C-295 can have a probe fitted so there is no reason why it couldn’t deploy down south if wanted. I agree about crew comfort then again our guys have suffered worst in the past. Actually when it comes to buying something actually off the shelf and not messing with it we are getting better. C-17 and RC-135W are both examples of something being taken off the shelf. Considering the pain with MRA4 I think the MOD will be far more interested in off the shelf.

If there was a Falklands style crisis I can envisage the C-295 deploying south supported by the A330MRTT, the nice thing is the A330MRTT can carry all the spares and the support crews for the C-295 on the same trip. I suppose that is the exciting thing once the C130 is retired and the A400M is fully stood up the UK will have an excellent modern rapid reaction deployment capability with the triad of A400M, C17 and A330MRTT. If only a way can be found to buy some of the Cobham 908E wing refuelling pods for the A400M to allow them a secondary air to air refuelling role in a crisis!

As I said I think the deep blue water capability should be decoupled from any replacement requirement.

Either you are trolling or you have no idea what you are talking about ? I am inclined to go with both.

You know very well, at least you should with your portrayed knowledge, that Peter and Carlo stood to make their money from the F111 upgrade and maint proposal and the company they set up to do it.

As most then know, they did not get their option taken up and the Aus Gov went with the F35. They have had a vendetta against the program ever since, their analysis is one sided, segmented and created in a vacuum in order to rubbish the JSF. The rules they apply to do this never apply to the opposing forces, most of their statements are deliberately misleading and I take offence to the amount of time and money they have wasted in their continual harrasment of the Senate in Australia

But please continue to defend them, I find it entertaining 🙂

Wow I didn’t know they had set up a company flogging F-111 upgrades! Puts a slightly different light on what APA have to say about anything with that kind of vested interest! For that matter how did they expect to compete with established contractors for that kind of work?!

Frankly I look at the C-295 and I rather like what I see, I am rather leaning towards leaving deep blue water ASW to Type-23, Sonar 2087 and Merlin HM2.

The C-295 is unsuitable for UK needs and as for Poseidon we can not afford it in any real numbers plus P-8 is hardly off the shelf as it is still in on going trials and not proven. The MOD committee said 295 & P-8 where options. This said if BAe where to put forward an option it would be hard for the MOD and Government to dismiss it with out looking at it. and lets be straight BAe are out to make money and the government can not recall what was said yesterday

I think this needs to be split down a bit just for clarity.

C-295 not suitable for UK needs. Well if we are talking about a like for like capability comparison between C-295 and Nimrod then yes it isn’t suited for UK needs. But we are not there now are we, the recent MOD study suggested the basic minimum and maximum capability. C-295 and P-8 came to the fore! Looking at C-295 it is relatively mature, off the shelf and can perform the basic role be it surveillance, SAR support or ASW. It hasn’t got the transit or range performance of the Nimrod but there is a strong argument that the deep blue water ASW capability should be left to the triad of Type-23, Sonar 2087 and Merlin HM2. Take out the deep blue water capability and C-295 becomes good enough!

We cannot afford P-8 Yep I would run with that and it would only make sense of we want to retain a deep blue water capability. Then again you have to be slightly careful with cost. The P-8 will be getting massive orders from the USN, it has already been adopted by India and other countries like Australia are very keen on it! This will drive down unit cost, a P-8 built in low rate initial production will cost a lot more then one built in ten years time. Also it is based on one of the most common civil airline types in the world. The UK could literally shop around for spares.

P-8 is hardly off the shelf as it is still in on going trials and not proven Well splitting hairs really there, it is going into LRIP and has been sold to India already. Regardless of its testing state it is here to stay and a serious off the shelf option.

This said if BAe where to put forward an option it would be hard for the MOD and Government to dismiss it with out looking at it. and lets be straight BAe are out to make money and the government can not recall what was said yesterday

You know ten years ago that statement might of been true but BAE Systems is persona non grata in recent years with the MOD and politicians. BAE Systems offers for certain contracts have been rejected recently by the MOD. BAE Systems has shown no interest in developing a new ASW type so far. Imagine the reaction by the press and parliament if the Defence secretary was looking at an aircraft that used old airframes, parts cannibalised from the previous aircraft and integrated by the company that bungled the previous program! He would be slaughtered! There might be scope to save discrete systems from the MRA4 like the sensor turrets and MAD array but anything more is problematic! As for not forgetting what they said yesterday when it comes to BAE Systems and Nimrod I think politicians will have very long memories…that it would be political poison.

As Jonesy pointed out the surveillance side of things appears to be more important, that a C-295 can prosecute a submarine target is not to be sniffed at as a bonus!
