I wanna have a go! Ok, ok…

For the anti-drugs role we’d stick with the AT-33’s, don’t really need anything more sophistimacatied 🙂 . Any Bolivian gunships still airworthy or that can be potentially made airworthy I would send off to be re-furbed. These would be UH-1H’s I assume. These would then be dedicated anti-drug aircraft, carrying out riads on drug fields.

For fighters, realistically I’d be approaching Honduras to make an offer on it’s fleet of F-5E’s and maybe Saudi Arabia for the same aircraft which I believe are up for sale. These would, of course be refurbed if needed, and if budget allowed.

Transports, approach Honduras again for a pair of grounded C-130 and refurb them. Also approach Brazil for the same aircraft, c who would make the best offer.

It’s nothing fancy, but’s it’s more viable on the budget than buying F/A-22s!!!
😮

Well since I have a strange feeling that me stating I liked Ashlene from BB brought the idea for this thread on, it’s only fair I have my vote:

Any show with the words “house”, “attic”, “garden” and “changing” included in the title get my vote. I mean come, honestly who gives a damn about someone that we have never met planning to move to Spain???

…..Ashlene, oh Ashlene my love :rolleyes:

Outside of a fleet of aircraft for logistical support and SAR does Belgium actually need an air force? I mean, it is facing friendly nations on all sides and doesn’t face the threat of invasion so why does ot need a fighter force? :confused:

Thanks for the help guys, such a shame the won’t bring back a forum for army here…oh well, sigh 🙁

I wouldn’t bother equipping a navy, just like I would have no air force as such. My air defence would be handled by SAM’s with swarms of armed Predator UAV’s for ground attack…they may get shot down but at least none of my men will die. My coastal waters would be protected by concealed shore based long and medium range SSM’s with coastal artillery for close range defense. Boring I know but I think thats a better chance and more economical than buying bug carriers and destroyers that cost millions to buy/maintain and run the risk of costing hundreds of lives :rolleyes: . Oh, and I’d make a deal with the biggest and baddest nation in the region to pretect my shipping lanes in exchange for access to resources and such. 🙂

Anybody think this would work? Or is my nation doomed :dev2:

Those Turkmen Su-25 shots are cool 😎

By the way, did u know an AFM reporter got a ride in a Turkmen Su-25 when he went to take air-to-air shots of a new Georgian Su-25UB? If u look at page 46 of the February ’06 issue u will a shot of the reporters aircrafts wing, with a nice Turkmen roundel on far side!
U know he didn’t even think to mention it, never mind photograph it! :confused:
