Where did Prowlus get the idea that the Fishbed was designed as a multi-role airplane?

Until the bis model, the MiG-21 wasn’t really a multi-role airplane of any sort. It was originally intended to be a daytime short-range interceptor.

Scrub that last comment on the multirole thing, I was thinking of the later Fishbed models but the 21 was really designed as a short range fighter and the draken a long range interceptor so comparing both aircraft would be irrevelant

Wonder if they sent a contingent of their own manned fighters to try and intercept these UCAVS after all the UCAVS have no air-to-air capabilities compared to even an A-10 (sidewinders)

alot of ww2 luftwaffe fighter plane projects had a 3 or more jets like these examples from Focke-Wulf

I’m suprised they want this new fighter for only 4 squadrons They might as well just update the F-2 into an F-2 Super Kai and finally get the plane they ordered in the first place rather than shell out for off shelf technology and end up having the costs balloon out of proportion (unless they buy the gripen)
On the other hand, how much would it be to upgrade the F-2 into the all dancing all aspect fighter thats being pimped in promos?

Wonder if they’ve selected a F-4EJ Kai replacement yet which going by the specs looks more like a interim solution than a long term one (Can they really fund a new generation fighter jet alongside their already overpriced planes?)

Too bad the Bell ARH creators wern’t alot more creative.
They could have ended up with something like this

:diablo:

I’m suprised the RAF doesn’t have a solid BAM scheme to prevent such incidents in the first place . It may be just a hawk this time but what if it was a Typhoon in the future?

Great ship Just like its Sea Harriers irreplacable . Now we have to rely on new carrier that has yet to be finalized with a fighter that has yet to take to the skies let alone drop a bomb or fire a missle!
