Hmm that’d be great if Rafales were in it but I doubt it, but we’ll see though. I’d be pretty sure to say Brazilian AMXs will participate, probably F-5s too, I think it’d be safe to sya Venzuelan F-16s will participate, probably Argentinian Mirage IIIs/A-4s, probably Peruvian and French M2Ks, South African Gripens(do they have them yet if not then probably/and/or Cheetahs) and I don’t know what South Africa has.

Well because Greece will be friendlier with 4 other countries rather than one. Yes France is pretty reliable etc but there is nothing wrong with the Typhoon.

Just how much is Rafale cheaper than Typhoon?

They should’ve stuck with their own AJT even if it was way behind scheduele.

If anything the Hawk is way too overpriced, it costs something like 18-19mn/plane, ridicilous when the Yak-130 costs anywhere from 10-12mn and can do way more than the Hawk, not only it’s supersonic but it’s range and payload are twice as bigger than Hawk’s, it’s also a combat trainer and could be fitted with all kinds of weapons and it’s Russian on top of it.

Or is it the Swedish/Austrian realationship that is kind of deep frozen after the Gripen lost in the tender?

Well kinda

When Austria went back to SAAB to ask them to keep their Viggens flying till EF came in, they gave them a very high price.

Yes USAF should buy less F-35s and buy some FB-22s.

I think J-10 should have a great potential on the market. If it costs anywhere under 25-30mn it will be a good plane. Mig-29 cannot compete out there, not only the future of MiG is uncertain but Mig-29 spare parts are running out and there are less and less of those Mig-29s at that AFB. Western hardware is pretty expensive and no one can compete with China with the J-10 and FC-1 in the cost. FC-1 should have a great potential, but I’d still take the J-10 over it.

I am not sure about LCA I think it will be pretty expensive but I love that bird too.

remove all the military stuff like guns, hardpoints, radars and all the necessary avioncs and sell them for civilian use, can sell them for a few million on the civilian market.
