Yep, just like Russia……. Isn’t Belgium currently on the Security Council, just like that other influential country, the Republic of the Congo…..
permanent.:rolleyes: Also unlike Belgium and the Congo France has Nuclear weapons.
I have finally seen the picture! It is rather intriguing isnt it!:confused:
The interesting question is if Saudi got overcharged or if Austria got a massive discount as the first export costumer. Perhaps somewhere in between.
It all depends on whats included in the deal, where the Saudis are concerned you never know.;)
I’ve just registered on the forum and i still have the picture on my screen !
Really wonderfull. The shape goes from the wing root and reach the upper corner of the engine air intake, with an angle around 70° maybe…
Wonderfull. We really HAVE TO learn what it is !!! 😮
My computer really does not like that forum, is there any chance you could load the picture up here and cite it as from said forum and poseted by whoever?:confused:
I thought there was a claim that sea cat took a dagger?
It looks like the trucks in the picture can carry twelve rounds. I wonder how usefull a system like this would be in siege type situation like the Brits have been finding themselves in in the ghan would be?
So Shornets/Rafale it is.
Dude its a Saudi deal, BAe probably had all the documents inscribed on gold tablets with diamond inserts for the headers and footers then got the Saudis to pay for it as part of the deal. If this was a deal with say Austria or another ‘normal’ country I have no doubt that the price would be significantly less.
Frankly I think the Poles should have bought the Gripen or sighned up for the Gripen NG program. The type has enough American parts that it keeps the US happy and its European. On top of that it would probably fill all of Polands needs and there is probably more life left in the Gripen design than there is the Lawndart. To be perfectly honest I see no reason for any country to procure the F-16 now unless it supplements an existing fleet or they are getting all the latest toys (UAE) or they are reasonbly isolated and the type will be the best in the neigbourhood and you plan on buying more second hand anyway (Chile). Otherwise go Rafale, Typhoon or Gripen, if you must go western.
Does anybody have any more info on these new LERX things? would it be possible to post the pictures here?:confused:
Just found these pictures. H-6K apparently, note the optical turret under the nose. Furthermore the nose has the classic look of a chinese nose that contains a radar. Any details or is this just another fan boy PS job?:confused:
This is great news for BAE Systems , British built Typhoons and British Aviation.

According to a report on Channel 4 news a number of the aircraft may be built in Saudi Arabia.:confused:
No offense but do you think it would have been better to have sat it in front of the U.N. for ten years and have to attack anyway because the U.N. did nothing?
You mean like they have done with Israel?
Garbage. You are speaking like a true Russophobe:p
It is actually 143 millions. But people like you always exagerate (by a wide margin) :rolleyes:
Shrinking at the moment, yes. But measures have been taken (including cash incentives) and positive signs are emerging. We will know better in a few years 😉
Still, no one expects Russia’s population to match the USA…let alone China’s or India’s 😀
I just checked the price of oil (almost at $80 per barrel). With worldwide demand expected to increse in the future, maybe over-reliance on energy exports is not as bad a thing as Russophobes would like to present :rolleyes:
Russia has been a big power even in it’s darkest days. Just mess with it and you will find out :dev2:
Hahahaha, wake up and smell the caffeine. As we speak the GDP of Russia is surpassing them. With the present trend, it will surpass Germany’s GDP in a few years. By 2020+, Russia’s economy is expected to be among the top four (USA, China, India, Russia), leaving Japan behind. :rolleyes:
No one is expecting Russia’s economy to surpass that of the USA (after all it has half the population). But, neither did the Soviet Union’s economy :diablo:
The USA is a superpower with collapsing bridges that are dangerous to motorists :rolleyes: . Look at your own economic and infrastructural problems…. As for China and India, do I need to talk about their problems?
All countries have problems and issues. Try to be objective before tapping on your keyboard :rolleyes:
Just do some research on the measures that are being taken to prevent that and then only start tapping on your keyboard :rolleyes:
You don’t seem to have been there either :rolleyes:
I have been in those places. France has a lot of influence on the French speaking countries in Africa. As a large economy, and having a permanent seat on the UN security council (with Veto powers), France has influence all over the world. But, in most places, Russia’s worldwide influence is much greater. Yes, even in many countries in South America.
All typical fantasy stuff.

Take out the historical elements, particularly in relation to France’s old colonies in North Africa, and what’s left? A description of diplomatic efforts that are on par with a host of other countries in the world, eg Netherlands, Belgium, Japan etc….
You obviously missed the permanent UN security council seat.:rolleyes:
