I don’t like how EELightning is painting Canada with the same brush as Japan, South Korea or the other countries that are trying to get a better deal from LockMart. Our late evaluation stems from internal political break down. When all the opposition bands together to force the conservatives to go through the process even though the outcome will be the same.

We do have an air force pilot with Boeing right now and he is trying to lobby for the super hornet. Stating easy transition from the legacy series to the super bug. We have included the Eurocanards because they are options as well, even though the deck is stacked in the Americans favor.

With regards to Rii… It amazes me that our two countries have a lot in common, But our defense expenditures are so different. I really think my government should stand back and look what Australia is doing and adjust accordingly to fit our needs.

what is that?

That was the CF-105 Arrow.

Are these the solutions though?
I can see them being so for an interim buy to keep pilots current, but maybe not for what is actually required operationally.

All are relatively shortranged jets.

The F-16 will either have to have tankers equipped with a boom, or have that Carts thing installed.

Can’t see either happening.

I have seen displays of an aerial refuelling probe that is said to be for the JF-17, but have never seen an actual JF-17 equipped with one.

From what I can make out, although the Mirage 2000 has many huge advantages over the Mirage III, it’s range isn’t exactly one of them.

It at least has a refuelling probe currently.

I think they are solutions for upgrading their fleet. The Mirage 2000 has great range to protect Argentina, and also gives them new capabilities they haven’t had.

As Buitreaux has said before, The Argentine air force wants new jets. But in the mean time upgraded second hand will do to keep proficiency up.

I have a feeling that barring the Super Etendard and Skyhawk they will lose their fast jets. They will be flying their Pampa’s for the for seeable future.
