Canada don’t need a revolutionary improvement, they need an evolutionary

An evolutionary improvement is NOT going to be future proof for the 40 or so years they plan on operating the aircraft especially when said aircraft are not remotely low observable. And if didn’t want revolutionary improvement over their Hornets they’d would have settled for a Gripen or some other jet with average capablity jet a long while ago.
Typhoon is damned expensive to operate BTW. It is not a budget jet so again chances are if they can’t afford to operate the F-35 then they can’t afford to operate Typhoon.

And thats enough from me in a news thread.

They cant afford it but blame the refueling

Lets be honest here, if they can’t afford the F-35 then they probably can’t afford any of the others with the exception of the Gripen, which of course would not bring a revolutionary change to their airforce that the F-35 and to a lesser extent the other types would. And wasn’t the Typhoon at last count actually more expensive than the F-35?

All Argentina have to do is to bomb the living hell out of those two spots and the enemy (as in the UK) wont have any airplanes that are operational in the area.

So you’re saying the Argentinians should bomb the only two airfields on the islands? But then how do they resupply their forces once they’ve taken the islands? Seems like a foolish thing to do.

Belethor.

The conversation has remained cordial.

Except for your good self, and Tempest.

Tempest appears as if he still reads the Boys Own Annual, and so can be forgiven perhaps, and ignored.
You seem an erudite type though.

You might like to take your own advice and drop the name calling and petty insults. Your post number 126 is an illustration of the type of emotional outburst that leads threads astray.

There are Argentine posters on the forum, who have so far conducted themselves in an exemplary manner.

I understand from your posts that you’re a supporter of the dim-witted Kirchner then. No wonder you got upset when I quite rightly called her out as a nut case.
And I can’t work out why you think i’ve insulted Argentine posters on this forum, care to show me? Actually don’t bother as i’m not interested enough to care what you perceive an insult to Argentine posters on this board is, if a mod takes up the issue that’s fine but you’re are not in any positon to act as judge and jury on this forum therefor I will set you to ignore and avoid your snobbish posts.

If this “fact” you highlight was so clear cut and uncontroversial as you say, my friend, there would be no issue at all, correct?

But the Angentinian government believes these are their islands and they were able to persuade all the other governments of the continent of this and by consequence the roughly 380 million people they represent. I’m sorry if this opinion does not suit yours but just by ignoring it will not make it go away, I’m sorry. 😉

It doesn’t work that way, son. You see, it doesn’t matter if there are 380 million, billion or even trillion people on your continent who want to see Argentina take hold of the Falklands as the siomple fact is the people there are British, they want to remain British and the British government and people agree with this.
War is the only way the nut-cases in Argentina will get their grubby little mitts on the Islands, Kirchner knows this all to well but would rather tread the path down that road than keep her gob shut, she’s a narrow-minded idiot as are those that want to see the Falklands stolen away from the people that belong there.

If you want to sling **** at each other that’s fine, but you can hardly claim the high-ground whilst doing so. “Narrow-minded Argies” indeed. :rolleyes:

The sad thing is that Obligatory is right on the money when he refers to the Argentinian government as narrow-minded. So narrow-minded infact that their quest to colonise the Falklands could well lead Argentina into another deadly war with serious reprecussions for their people. Not very smart folks in power over there.

Flankers flying long endurance CAP missions over the Falklands would present themselves rather nicely as a strong target on the radar scopes of British warships. Probably be able to track them at near max range.
