    US Air Chief on the Typhoon vs F-22

    makes for interesting reading, Gen Jumper talking about the Eurofighter, and actually claiming that it was a very capable aircraft. hmm, can any conclusions be drawn from this ?

    One more thing, are the WSOs of the Su-30 squadrons pilots themselves ? or is there a separate course and intake for these officers from the fighter pilots pool ? Im assuming of course that WSOs pass the fighter pilot aptitude test and all those requirements. Could someone clarify on this ?

    Jaganji, I’d be more inclined to believe that Wing Cmdr. George Thomas is being reared to take over as the CO of the next squadron that accepts Su-30MKIs. Since another squadron of Su-30s should be up and running within a year or two, he could be the one to take it over. Could anyone elaborate how much longer Wing Cmdr. Sandeep Singh is to stay the CO of No.30 Rhinos ?

    exactly. Even if Turkey were to opt in for the Eurofighter, the delivery schedules for it would’nt make it likely that it would be in service before 2010. after that the F-35 should be almost ready. Not that Im an F-35 fan at all! But still feel that the US would try its best to dissuade the Turks from purchasing something as expensive as the Typhoon.

    Turkey for the Eurofighter ? its a captive US market and so the Typhoon cant really stand much of a chance against the F-35.

    a small correction to your post Georgeji. 2 of them are Wing Cmdrs. and Wng. Cmdr. Sandeep Singh is the CO of No.30 Rhinos. dont know about Wing Cmdr. George Thomas though. He could well end up being the CO of another Su-30MKI squadron.

    KJlost, the Indian Su-30 will see the F-15K first and fire first too. forgot what happened to the USAF F-15Cs against the IAF Su-30Ks :rolleyes: ? forget the MKI, its a few steps ahead of the Su-30K too.

    If the Gripen has to be considered a valid jet for the Brazilians then teh Mirage-2000-9 is a definite better buy.

    Hamburger, most countries maintain sizeable airforces only coz its required. there is no great logic being applied in that regard.
