There is no argueing about the fact that Morocco’s jets are way outdated. And I don’t see a solution in the F-16 blk40 or the Mirage 2000, however I do seee a great solution in the j-10.

Flankers and Fulcrums?:confused: All you need is a Su-30 and all that has to be done will be done.

Are you back fron the States?

Between Rotterdam and Delft. I am then some 25 kilometers away from you… To the north… Any chance to see you at Volkel?

Hmm I’ll try to make it at Volkel but i don’t have a lot of time, ambulance broeder worden neemt veel tijd in:D .

Algeria certainly does have a troubled past (and presence, too), but to me it looks as if their problems are more “domestic”, meaning the rather ugly civil war that has been going on. So why do they invest in Mig-29s?. Wouldn’t helicopters or CAS- aircrafts make a lot more sense? They don’t really have pending issues with their neighbours. do they?

The reason why they invested in MiG-29s is to patrol their skies as they have no value against fundamentalists on the ground. But algeria has a vast airspace which means that the Mig-29 with its short range is bad choise. Su-30 was offered. And why do they have Su-24 bombers when they weren’t used against the fundamentalists?

Maybe MiG-29 operators that still fly the older versions like Slovakia and Peru ( -Cs ) could make a deal with the MiG company.

The MICA has a range of 60 km, but I do’t know about the AIM-120 – 65 km,70 km.
A AIM-120 costs $386,000!! Imagin having atleast 6000 missiles in your inventory!

Who still operates the F-104? Italy! Italy is the last operator of this jet.

Arthur do ou have a link to a site about the train hijack by the Moluks in the 70s? F-104 were used to scare the Moluks!

I don’t like the idea of those advanced MiGs there,we just have Mirage F-1s:mad: .
