    So the fact that the mig was a unstable and hard airplane to fly in the first place has nothing to do with it?

    Is this 1950something MIG 21 who swallow a Hawk 200 ?

    Very ugly and very pointless plan. Scrap him before he walks.

    Slovakia and Hungary is not so good for now.

    Austria is country independent in unstable region. Good for them they choose EF to replace the Dragons SAAB.

    Interesting essay but hot air filled and already out of date in case of weapons integration especially. If this is so big a problem as he claims then Poles may as well admit they have no aircraft nato capable today ! how is it then Sukhoi 22 squadrons are nato assets ! so how are they in nato now !

    Also strange is the reason to chose against Gripen that Sweden will not develop any combat planes in future. This is ridiculous point to make as the choice was for 2002/3 not 2032/3 !! No single nation in Europe will make combat airplanes alone in future as r&d is too costly.

    F-16 combat record is immaterial unless you have all assets available as US and Israel do in support. Did F-16 fly CAP package too ? No ! F-15 did. Did F-16 fly ECM too ? No ! EA-6 did. Has Poland buying F-15 and EA-6 too ? No !

    What combat record has F-16 only Air Force got ? None. It is immaterial.

    F/A-22 has no combat record either so why buy him ?

    Irish Air Corps is not for air defence or offence. It is internal corps so not useless when you compare this against its stated doctrine.

Make the next leap ahead for high risk offensive strike by fielding an X-45 like, UCAV air frame. Much lower peace time operating costs than a JSF and in many cases just as much offensive strike punch vs. high risk targets and no aircrew risk. That combined with the Euro cruise missles that EF2000 will carry and you will be in great shape with a good team ( EF2000 and UCAV )

    Yes, I am agreeing.

    Tranche 2 EF2000 will be multirole 2 seats of higher standard than specified for now and Tranche 3 will instead be UCAV for UK.

    It is between the lines in white paper yesterday !

    Flex

    there was opinion poll in Poland, who see themselves as Yankie wannabes from Hollywood films and McDonalds commercials.

    also remember please biggest city of Poles out of Warsawa is Chicago.

    if they are stupid enough to look beyond Europe for influence is for debate but then they should go to Yankies with begging bowl for every penny and not to EU.

    I am no expert on this but I have heard from several sources that the calculation of the flight hours is different for NATO and Russia. From my interviews with Russian and Slovak pilots I know that the calculation of flying hours for Russian pilots starts after all landing gear wheels have lift off the runway while NATO calculation includes preflight checking and other activities, as well. Thus, the difference might become smaller, then.. Could someone with more knowledge elaborate on this?

    Flex

    fly time is calculated from brakes off to brakes on. that does not include preflight checks.

    what you say about all landing gear lifting off is not true; how would it be possible to measure this fact – old guy with stop watch at piste ?

    but what has that got to do with the Poles not buying Gripen? Zero
