    Do we even know the thrust produced by each?

    Last I heard the Gr.9/A was not going to get ASRAAM. The Gr.7/9 has an extremely limited air to air capability compared to Sea Harrier, and would not be able to protect the fleet in a rerun of the Falklands conflict. The decision to withdraw Sea Harrier from service years before the F35B is even hoped to enter service was a very risky decision, but they did it anyway.

    How does the Mi-28N compare to the Apache Longbow (I read that the name of the radar on the Mi-28N was the Russian word for Crossbow, which I thought quite amusing)?

    The Bettlehog 350x sounds VERY interesting …

    I’ve seen several pics of GR9s on UK carriers, was the main focus of the 9 upgrade to make it more Navy friendly?

    Yes, but would the radarless Gr9 really be able to stand up to Super Etendards and Daggers? Especially since last I heard, they even cancelled the ASRAAM integration …

    How feasible are electromagnetic catapults?

    Pod the Blue Vixen radars from the Sea Harriers onto a GR7 or GR9. Apparantly a podded Blue Vixen has already been tested.

    How long would it take to do that for 2 squadrons?

    How would the British protect their landing force now there are no Sea Harriers?

    I thought that wasn’t allowed without paying penalties?

    the crap load of eletroinces added effected the performance

    Maybe, but I hardly think it stabilises it …

    Can anyone make a guess as to the relative stealthiness of the F-22, F-35 and F-117A?

    LOL, if the F35 is outdated, what does that make the Typhoon/Rafale/Gripen?

    I speculate it will be EH101.

    A gunship version of the Mi26 would be nice to watch
    – titanium and fibre armour bathtub
    – 2 x 3-barrel cannon turrets on the side and 1 x 3 barrel in nose
    – 24 ATGMS/rocket pods on dual “sopwith camel” biplane wings
    – a bomb bay for another 24 missiles/bombs
    – 2 x HMG operated by door gunners
    – XM777 105mm field gun pointing out the rear

    Rather unwieldy, don’t you think? And the XM777 is 155mm.
