Where are the services RFI, RFPs?
On the exact same place that the USAF, VVS, PLAAF, or any other country with enough budget and national design and production capability, deliver them, with their national defense industry…
Where is the competition that nurture new aggressive way to search for innovations, performance and ensure efficiency?
OH, please describe me the massive competition that we have in places like Russia, China and so on, for aerospace combat capabiliy… Even the US with its absolutely massive military budget can only maintain two and a half national design teams in house.
Where you expecting that France could maintain two or three diferent companies capable of designing and producing cutting edge military aerospace with THAT kind of budget?! Or let me guess, you were expecting that the Adla/MN would open a competition to LM for their next fast jet capability?
Where is the epicenter of decision now?
Exactly where it should be, in the German and French MODĀ“s…
let the circus and the money burning start over
Thats rich! Do i have to remind you of every post that youĀ“ve posted in this forum drooling about that, oh so much efficient program called the JSF?!
There are three basic options for the French/Germans (and British, Italians, Spanish, Swedes) for the replacement of their air combat capability, a) increase their defense budget and go national (the only ones who can go that route with ease are “Ze Germans”), b) pool their resources (what the Germans and French are doing) or c) buy American. I have absolutely no doubts on your favorite option…
