Singapore also done that….trying to find the link in code one magazine……

i will be in the 1st public day…..but scared tat the trade day they need to check the business card….

man if this is gonna have a deal, which means is 1 of the largest Strike eagle operator in the world

F-15T is not call Teagle……is means Temasek

RSAF NGF procuremnt is all about tech transfer and training……….i personally wants Typhoon, but ideal wise is F-15T, but practical wise is Rafale……..

BTW, the pattern of singapore procuremnt is this:

hunter replace by F-16 in air defense, then F-16 replace A-4 for grd attack roles. NGF is gonna be mostly for air defense

given the super hornet’s serious range/payload/speed deficiencies, i’ve been wondering about the possibility of mounting CFTs on the F/A-18E/F. they could easily be mounted on the upper fuselage/wing blend on the top part of the plane. it would free up the inner wing pylons on longer missions for much more ordnance.

since so many other modern jets have them — F-15s, F-16blk60s, Typhoons, Rafales, even Su30s — why not the “super” hornet?

It has evolve from “normal” hornet to “super” hornet, therefore, i don’t think is necessary to put CFT to “super” or “normal” hornets. It adds more drag to it rather than agility…..uless you want to refurbished the whole frame into like MiG29C/SMT?

othere jets includes the Gripen also…..

Uhh 60 million/helicopter. I assume this is for training, but man 60mn! That’s as much as a F-16C/Dblk50 and for a helicopter thats as much to maintain, and it’s combat record is uninspiring, it’s very slow and unmanouverable.

I would rather invest into something like Mi-28N or PAH-2 Tiger or even the Ka-52.

We did consider the Tiger before we select the AH-64D……this two are head-ons during selection…..

And btw we don’t choose mass production and cheap products 😉

oh no not the F-15, just because is combat proven………..
