“General, we are going to war !”
The General : “thanks god, we have the best fighter for peacetime !”

Wait, what ? [ATTACH=CONFIG]251374[/ATTACH]:very_drunk:

hello studly.
this might surprise you, but most air forces in the world don’t engage in combat and just need an air policer.

The rendition provided by me above is directly from Turkish Aerospace Industries: its magazine called “TAI’s Voice” December 2016 Issue.

Additionally, the Turkish Air Force stated during the TF-X convention that it was looking for an F-22 type new generation Air Superiority Fighter to replace its F-16’s with. Below is a photograph from that symposium.

and the render in that picture looks totally different than the f-22 clone above.
it suggests they still havent decided on a planform.

Indonesia’s new Air Force Chief:

Sweden recently signed a MOU with Indonesia:

cool, Indonesia is about to sign an MOU for just about every aircraft out there and not buy a single one

What is the problem? ask me

so how did you come up with these numbers?
attack ground targets: Su-30MKM (1.09), the Su-35S (1.53), the MiG-35 (1.27)
Self-Defense: Su-30MKM (0.62), the Su-35S (0.81), the MiG-35 (0.77)

TP 120 is an excellent trainer, and instructors love the side by side and the 4 dividable and programmable screens. About jet feelings, there is one french pilot that followed swiss cursus and he found the transition from PC21 to Rafale “hot”.

hot in what way

These were the initial conceptual designs developed together with SAAB of Sweden. They have undergone significant changes…

oh, so when did they change it to the f-22 clone?

Combat Potency, MiG-35 – AESA:
dog fight: Su-30MKM (1.25), the Su-35 (1.93), the MiG-35 (1.64)
long-range air combat: Su-30MKM (0.92), the Su-35S (1.9), the MiG-35 (1.44)

attack ground targets: Su-30MKM (1.09), the Su-35S (1.53), the MiG-35 (1.27)
Self-Defense: Su-30MKM (0.62), the Su-35S (0.81), the MiG-35 (0.77)

I’ve no idea how you came up with these numbers.

the MKI/MKM/SM or whatever, currently has the most proven ground attack capabilities, so I’m not sure why it’s rated so low.
did you just make random numbers

In the case you are a small/poor/landlocked nation (except Kazahstan or Ethiopia) Mig-35, if you are one with a great sea surface to patrol,Su-30, anything in between (Ethiopia also there )Su-27/35, Kasakhstan MiG-31.
Look also at what Russia do: Central area and all the northernmost Bases have Mig-31, Eastern Su-27 and -30, Mig-29 are mostly in Southern one and in Kaliningrad, Western one a fancy mix, Sevastopol being a Navy location going Su-30.

Also, if you already operate the Fulcrum (Peru) is a logical choice as money is saved on infrastructure/creation of a supply chain.

Yes but in reality it didn’t happen like that.

Belarus – small and landlocked. No Flankers (they retired them) but has Fulcrums. They will choose the Su-30SM instead of the MiG-35 as their next aircraft

Egypt – somewhat big with maritime areas, should choose su-30 or 35 but chose the MiG-35 instead

I think we’ve had several similar threads on this topic already.

Just to give a few answers:

1- “iraq doesn’t need fast jets”
ans- Iraq has been directly threatened recently by Turkey (which unilaterally sent its forces to iraq and refuses to withdraw), Kuwait (which threatened to attack Iraq only last week) and USA (with trump saying “he may get another chance at taking the oil”). These are just three recent threats against Iraq’s sovereignty just in the past 2-3 months.

ok that’s fair. I forgot about how the Turks go freely about northern Iraq, although I’m not sure how long Iraq in its present form can last much longer.
but Russians aren’t a 100% safe option since Erdogan got into Putin’s bed these days.
You guys should consider Chinese i guess.
then we can finally see.. J-10s vs F-16s

yes, if the polish accountant was taking purchase cost into the equation,
then i have no issue accepting the migs came out on top (altho it still puzzles me)

in addition to the article i posted about the mig-29’s cheaper operating costs.
its also known that the us deal to poland wasnt good for the polish. not enough spares and other logistical issues may contribute to the types higher operating expenses.
that said, they do like their f-16s and like the other guy said, it does more roles while mig-29 is strictly air policing.
