Maybe a 2020 version of this SAAB project
F35 also. At least all the bugs should be ironed out of the product.
Later blocks should be cheaper when production ramps up.
BAT 21 is a good nickname
May not go down too well though
Has anyone put forward a two seat F-20.
With current avionics and systems.
The Oliver Hazard Perry guided missile frigates.
Just Build new ones with 2014 tech….. Move 76mm gun forward. VLS for the rest of the missiles. Magazine in old gun position. Another where the MK13 was.
LCS program.. what a waste of money.
And also because Australia doesn’t yet have any P-8As or F-35s.
It could refuel the E-7 Wedgetails.
But there is a wait on the P-8s and the F-35s
Tell that to the RAAF, who were planning to use the boom for their P-8As and other aircraft (F-35A, etc), but can’t because it doesn’t work yet.
Sub standard product.. should of gone with Boeing.
and its 2014 and the booms still don’t work on the A330s
looks like deal done. up to 86.
The picture in the article is a F-22….. idiots.
Propose and develop a F-15NG or whatever call it. Higher thrust engines. Higher G airframes. Top end avionics and weapons
Enjoying this thread. Instead of patriotic fan boy opinions. Thats ill informed opinions.
or have the Russians have seen the limits of stealth and would rather up the ante to speed and modern weapons?
Its like a 2015 version of a F-15 with modern avionics,engines and upgraded airframe to handle higher speeds and G forces.
interesting development maybe just a side show
Argentine Mirage F1 buy reportedly stalls
Inigo Guevara, Mexico City – IHS Jane’s Defence Weekly
02 January 2014
Argentine sources have told IHS Jane’s that the planned procurement of 16 Dassault Mirage F1M fighters from the Spanish Air Force has stalled and could possibly be cancelled.
Local media reports indicated that the Argentine Air Force (FAA) has begun analysing other options, including second-hand Dassault Mirage 2000s from France or Brazil, but appears to be leaning towards an Israeli offer of 18 IAI Lahav Kfir Block 60 multi-role fighters for USD500 million, with a possible delivery date some 15 months after a contract signature.
COMMENT
The deal’s cancellation has not been confirmed, but its causes could, if it happens, include a mixture of technical and political concerns.
I suppose more news soon.
