    Peace Pumas

    Yes, but where are Su35 operationals with air capability over Falcons Block 50 Plus with AEW Support and BVR Capability ? 😎

    I just want to say that although the Su35 is a superb fighter it doesn’t have the Hitech equipment to confront last versions of Vipers, in fact, i’m not really sure that FAB (Forca Aerea Brasileira) is happy with the Su 35 Option, remember that all they material of flight is from West and the conversion to operate Su 35 can be a really headache, apart of that, obviusly the Sukhoi has more Range, but operative Range? it depends of the mission, the Radar? sure, “in te paper” is more capable than APG-68(V)9, weapons? ??? R77 Archer? well, it looks pretty well but in the paper again…..but superior to Derby/Amraam?….

    Regards

    pd: i’m in the job so i’m writing fast…

    “This Fighters will become the most modern and letal Air Weapon System in South America continuing with the leadership in systems of the FACH in this region.”

    I don´t think so. Brazil are upgrading its fleet of fighters, acquiring a brand new one (I hope the Flanker which is more than a match for F-16s).
    Venezuela is upgrading its fleet of F-16s and have more than 20 years experience on it. Peru has a respectful fleet of fighters and even Argentina with its A-4AR Fightinghawk (Mini F-16) which is still very capable. Also, ten jets is a very small number.

    Regards,

    Yes, but even the Flanker System (if Brazil buy those birds) will not be modern than Falcons Block 50+, in the other hand, Brazil “are upgrading”, the Fach already done that many years ago…..I remember you that Fach’s F-5 Fleet Tiger III Standard are Python 4/Derby capable including HMS.

    Venezuelan Falcons are F-16 A’s (Block 15????) so older and the Argentinian Ar-A4 please….they will be BVR capability some day? i don’t think so…..

    May be in modern Aircraft we could say that the Peruvian’s Mig-29 with R77 Archer capability could front the “Actual” BVR capability of the Fach but nobody knows if the 3 Migs with this capability are operational.

    By the way, in systems, the Fach is go ahead in the region.

    Regards
