Sukhoi supremecy
During the mid-90’s Sukhoi have made its mark in the Asia-Pacific region with some of their products going to countries like China, India and Vietnam, and the most recent customers for the Sukhois have been Indonesia and an order for 18 Su-30MKM for Malaysia, some might say this is the end of Australia’s air-supremecy over the countries of SE-Asia.
But from my point of view, Australia’s military planners shouldn’t be worry by a few Sukhois in the neighbouring countries, why?
Because Australia is a nation that have sufficient fund for its national security, I doubt any country in this region could catch up to Australia in technological terms especially with the JSF program underway.
Critics view the JSF F-35 as a big waste of money, but it is the key to Australia’s air dominance in the 21st century, along the line with the ‘Wedgetail’ AWACS.
