Not many problems if you have the cash. Remember, that a lot of F-16 sales ( not all ) are U.S. taxpayer give aways.
When I think of the M2000 or the Rafale, the first thing I want to see is cheap near all weather PGMs. AASM will provide that. I would pick a single seat M2000 and of course it would be one of many platforms in a netcentric environment. AWACs, UAV, UCAV, Ground FACs, etc. There just isn’t much to say. There shouldn’t really be any problems. The very latest weapons on an M2000 and you will be good to go for most things. Remember fuel prices. A single engine jet over time, like the M2000 is cheap to operate. I could care less also about nth degree of turning. That is solved with HOBs / Helmet Heaters.
velly interesting mr Elp.
but what about the Rafale? do not prefer that? Because it seem the AASM is mainly developped for the Rafale. Also perhaps some country may find the twin engine of the Rafale more important when doing maritime type mission (non carrier).
anyway there is one M2K with RBE2 installed, it is M2K B.105
