At the end, our goverment deploys just only 4 EF-18´s, one B-707, and a P-3M orion, the navy will deploy one F-100 Aegis frigate and one SSK.
It´s an F-5F. And yes that´s a target for the 20 mm guns.
Our 12th Wing at Torrejón is preparing some EF-18´s, at least half dozen.
France has about 20 Eurocopter Tiger gunships. They can be used (in addition to the Tornadoes) to rake the Libyan armour column on the road to Benghazi.
With 68 mm rockets, because all are HAP version…
Technically our Bk-117´s in the Guardia Civil are military.

Folks,
The pod in the back ground shown in the photo from Wikipedia was taken by a Singapore gentlemen at the Singapore AF museum who helped me write that article. The photos are of weapons and pods mounted on the old Singapore AF Hunters. I don’t think it is a SNEB or Thomas-Brandt pod?

Brandt, that pod was widely used by the french Jaguars.
How easy would it be for the FAA to crew the CN-235MPA (or any other LRMPA)? I can see them finding it fairly easy to crew S-3’s, and even to integrate sensor systems similar to those used on the Merlin’s but surely the CN-235MPA would need a much larger crew, I searched but could find any reference to it crewing requirements?
Also I cannot find any mention that the CN-235MPA can launch sonar buoy’s does anyone have a reference to it ability to deploy sonar buoy’s?
Chilean C-295´s are operating sonobuoys, MAD, and all that ASW stuff, even torpedoes.
Anyone know the current whereabouts/status of the Garibaldi, Cavour, Principe de Asturias and Ark Royal/Illustrious?
PdA right now is in Cartagena -southeastern Spain-.
Interservice rivalry probably.
France tried quite seriously that Spain could join the Rafale project, but then we prefered to stay with Germany, Kohl in that years had a great influence over our PM González. And we stayed on the EF-2000 deal.
Yes and they were looking for a return of some of their fighters (Mirage F1s?) that were sent for overhaul to Serbia or someplace and never returned.
Just some Mig 21/23´s
Equatorial Guinea style, Su-25, Mi-25, Mi-172.
brazil,chile and……?
Uruguayan air force
What? Sparrows and AIM-9Ms? If they are so unsure about wheter secrect tech is leaking, why not selling other missiles, that are aboutt the same tech as AMRAAM but foreign? I know that there a lot countries that are willing to sell there tech.
Morocco bought in their F-16n deal some Amraam, but they still bought AIM-9M. It´s really amazing how the Mike version can be sold in 2010.
No F-5´s at all in Ecuador, Uganda or Bangladesh, don´t know about North Korea. But Yemen is a F-5 operator.
