Kidd Class

Any pics of the Kidd Class in ROC service?

How and why are they getting them through Syria?? Russia had no problem selling Tor-M1 air defense systems directly to Iran so I am sure Russia would have no problem selling the Pantsyr sytem directly to Iran.

Griben instead of Hornets…and full Multipurpose kit from the beging, including Anti-ship capacity with RBS-15…

Gollevainen,
Thats all you would do for Finland’s forces? I would do a lot more!

How about:

Purchase EMB-314 trainers

Purchase EMB-145 EriEye AEW&C aircraft

Purchase Mi-28N attack helicopters

Purchase S-300PMU2 SAM systems to complement the BUK-M1-2 in service.

Replace all artillery and coastal artillery 100mm, 122mm, 130mm, & 152mm howitzers with the new 52cal 155mm howitzer

Purchase 3 Gotland Class Submarines

Purchase 3 Visby Class Corvettes to replace the Turunmaa Class Corvettes.

Purchase 6 Hamina Class Attack Craft instead of 3 planned.

Purchase 6 Tuuli Class Attack Craft

Upgrade the minelayers with Umkhonto-IR SAM systems

North Korea

I hope this project turns out as great as your Iranian naval project. I am really interested in a 3-d view of the Soho Class Frigate and the Chaho Class Assault Craft with her 122mm rocket launcher.

Great work!

If you are done with Iran may I suggest you start on North Korea. They have many more unknown types that people would like more info on.

who cares

I don’t know what the big deal is with this contract since it is only for 24 birds. It is not like they are buying 150 aircraft and will serve as the only fighter for the next 50 years. These 24 aircraft bring new technology and new air frames into service and will help the pilots transition to higher tech fighters in the future then these birds will be turned into tankers / secondary strike aircraft once the F-35 joins the air force.

I always thought Boeing should have pitched the F-32 to Japan after they lost out to the Lockheed built F-35. This would have been a perfect aircraft for Japan’s future requirement.
