Hell, if they’re cheap enough I’d like to see the RAF take all 70 – what a great Jaguar replacement.

The Gripen is primarily a point defence fighter . Its loadout couldn’t even compare to a jag’s

Suprised noone has mentioned the EE Canberras in No. 39 squadron yet

Personally, this argument is mostly emphasising that the F-35 is a jack of all trades, master of none type aircraft Something thats not adequate enough to replace single role types such as the F-111 . Wonder if that new long range strike system proposed by the US could fulfill such a need?

i’m beginning to miss the Comanche

Those Colani aircraft(?) could certainly explain 1/2 of the world’s UFO sightings if they were ever built

You should watch the anime “801 TTS Airbats” F-18 There you’d have a field day oogling JASDF Aircraft and babes all day long

F-50 looks like a mix of F-16 and F/A-18

And could carry alot more apparently . Is that a realistic warload on a aircraft with a possibly smaller engine than the F-16 ?
