I don’t think this is the most capable combination, but I think it provides the most in-house control of production and support.

1. F-18. a very underrated aircraft and straight up multi-role from the start.
2. Depends. If I was going for a hi-lo combination the F-15/F-16 is probably the best hi-lo pair ever.
Or a strategic one to diversify suppliers, F-16 and Mirage 2000.

the MiG-29As at the time were rather limited and not multi-role. You could argue the other two as well, but history has shown that they have aged better.

looking back at older posts

yeah, the pilots prefer a ski jump for take offs

but other naval planners prefer not to have it as it takes up one or two spots for helicopters.

I guess it depends on what they want to focus the Izumo’s role for.

the Wasp is an assault ship while the Izumo is a helicopter carrier (ahem.. destroyer according to the Japanese).
So I would assume an assault sip would need much more space and flexiblity to transport soldiers while the Izumo may not need to prioritize such.
its main mission is submarine hunting and potentially peace keeping.

why the US is drag into an issue with Canada?

I thought he loves Trump?

well don’t matter, he can go buy Chinese. They are already setting up shop on some of their islands.

This is not the Philippines forum. This is Keypublishing.
take your counter arguments there. No one here made that claim.

ACIG is active, they just changed the URL

Im starting to think you are wasting your time with Alex. Everyone here has tried to explain to him the difference between the FA-50 and Gripen but his biases are too strong.

wrong.
Gripen C is a lightweight fighter
FA-50 isn’t a fighter period. It is a LIFT. or to make it simpler for you, an armed trainer. thats it.
