I thought the original plan was sixty, I remember reading a book a long time ago, that had been published before the construction of the first burke had finished, it stated 28 flight 1s followed by 32 flight 2s?

the malaysian ship seems to be almost exclusively fitted for combat operations not disaster relief. For that a vessel like HMS ocean would be more suitable. I remember in the weeks after the tsunami there were reports that there were not enough hlicopters and I couldnt understand why such vessels werent deployed, especially by the likes of Britain and the US.

Isnt there a speed difference between the B1 and the B1B?

how old is that picture? could it be 114 and 115 or has it been taken after the launch of 115 and there is thus 3 or more units of this new class? It certainly appears to be 115 type ships.

Yes, the 2052, it has very impresive specs and is currently undergoing testing.

Talking of radar upgrades, what are the chances of a future IAF fleet wide use of the currently at prototype stage IAI elta 2052 radar, it has amazing specs and is targeted at Su30, mig29 and mirage 2000 aircraft?
Thoughts?

Does anybody know when this picture was taken

If the aircraft listed are from the manufacturer then it tells us two things,firstly that Israel is planning on keeping the F15 in service for some years yet and that it is almost specifically targeted at the IAF, I hope that it does work as planned and that it is adopted by many airforces.
