I like these games so here goes

Well Astute 8-9 laid down Cost £1.5bn

8 x Embraer R-99 Maritime patrol aircraft (with ASW capabilities) – cost approx. £600 million just so we have something as a replacement for the MK4

Also agree with some C3 corvettes 10 at £140 each so 1.5billion for the lot

buy Phalanx to be fitted to all the ships say about £200 million or so for Phalanx on everything

Fit the Type 45s with Harpoon and add the ability for cruise missiles alla Scalp so about another £200 million

Now that leaves me with a £1billion or so left over

so either New tankers for the RFA or a buy of Merlin and the improved Lynx

its a Scud a C model i think, but don’t quote me on that

Well then this is how I would do it,

AD 6 S300 battery and 20 Tor M1.

Aircraft

50 PC-21 for training 2 squadrons + spares

40 Yak 130 for training and a light wartime AD/ground attack role (like Hawk T1s) 2 Squadrons

90 Mig 29 SMT for ADF 4 Squadrons

50 IA 58 Pucará for a light strike role/anti tank role 2 Squadrons

25 Su 24 for long range strike / Anti-ship 1 Squadrons

6 Ilyushin Il-38 with the sea dragon upgrade MPRA 1 Squadrons

15 C 130s

4 Hawk-eye 2000 AWACS

6 A310 Tankers

40 Mi 17

25 Mi-24PN Helicopters

4 Gulfstream G500/G550 as government transports

what on earth is under this lump?

there are similarity to the TYPE 45, I just think the 45 has a neater look

The Romanian frigate Maresesti looks like an exercise in how many weapons can we pile on before it looks crowed

thought it might be, it looks like its bow is beaing reworked,

Found another Kirov and a slava in servormorsk just above murmansk also and Ivan Rogov landing craft i think

well then here goes

Mig 23 MLD

first of radar replace it with Zhuk-M, fitted for the firing of the R-77/R73

Put in a full Glass cockpit,

Modernise the engine so its not so much of a pain,

And if they where still around modernise the Vulcan bombers with a new Radar, cockpit and the ability to launch storm shadows and PGM

Sorry saw Gripen-n and thought naval? I do like the redesign nice and simple that adds a lot to an already good design
