Well money never seem to be an issue. They completely redesigned the F-16 and payed something like $110 miljoen a piece for them against $40 -$45 miljoen for an F-16.
Agreed, but for now Amarican presence will be there. They have bullied Korea into taking the F-15K and will bullie Japan in taking the F/A-22 perhaps. That is my view, but I think there were better off designing a fighter for them selves.
No need to Sammie, we can do it ourselfs now :D.
Well good luck to you Dutchy, we may meet in the semi finals. Memories of EURO 96 what was the score ?
Yes please remind me, so I can really work myself up into the game.
England 4 (Shearer 23 pen, 57, Sheringham 51,62) Holland 1 (Kluivert 78) is something I want to get revanche at. Thanks for that, but you guys need to get to the semi’s first ;).
That’s good to know, talking about football when the European Championship is going on is a bloody shame I know.
The question is not whether they can design a successor to the Eagle but if the Americans will let them. Remember they wanted to design the F-2 themselves but the Americans presured them into taking the basic Viper design with an American engine. So the successor will probably be the Raptor, they can certainly afford it, and the Americans want their unit cost to go down.
Going out against Sweden though, there is no way you’ll beat them.
That’s true…………………
…………..altough I am not ready to admit it.
I hate to say it but Germany are going to have to work hard to stay in the competition. I think the Dutch should pull through.
It might not come as a surprice but me too 😀 .
