some questions here..
So the MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH more advanced Su-30MKI is only 9% more expensive than an F-16blk50
how is it “much much much much” more advance? Is it much more advance or are yo confusing it for more capabilities offered?
then there are other factors you need to add in that you’ve forgotten, such as the actual airframe life
Now this is a good one !!! 🙂

What’s the story with this French F-15 🙂
Yak-141, lost out to the collapse of a country. Quite a shame too, along with the YF-23, it is my favorite “could’ve been” aircraft.

I’m interested in how long the landing gear is for the Super Crusader if those bottom stabilizers are HUGE..
btw, more question about the F-16XL, was that one also regarded as a loss due to being inferior to the competitor
and why the TSR.2 never came into being.
for the last two aircraft, why did they lose to their respective counterparts..
I heard the F107 had some controversey over the possibility of sucking in an ejecting pilot. the YB60 certainly does look much like a B-52
I heard that 1 production version Rafale-C has been flying..
as for the Rafale-M..I thought at least 4 production versions are already serving on the CdG?

The T-50 and Yak-130 are pretty different in terms of performance class.. the T-50 has fighter like performance and was intended to have fighter like performance while the Yak-130 is still within the range of “Bae Hawk” like performance.
I’m no expert in aerodynamics, but isn’t the Iryda’s wings a bit too high mounted?
is it this book?
not to nickpick but the two F18C cockpits by WACH may not be be F18″C”, the first one is most likely F18A cockpit…. 🙂
thanks!, I stand corrected 🙂
some visuals to clear it up

Do you know what helicopter the UK bid included?
Excuse my sarcasm, but is this country able at all to maintain such sophisticated hardware? Given that they have been recovering from a civil war, are such acquisitions even necessary?
I don’t know about now, but I’ve read that there were several small scale clashes between them and Eritrea (sp) over some small islands between the sea.
