Of course they have’em
But….the CFTs are removeable accesories…not fixed. You didn’t know that???

Have patience… the first Chilean Puma will fly on June. Perhaps there will be some surprses for you…:cool:

Stay tuned 😀

Last I heard those big things can’t be removed.

They seem to be part of the fuselage to me.

ha-ha-ha-ha…

Oh boy! Here we go. :rolleyes:

Truth sucks.

Apparently you don’t know that most of south american countries are now governed by former communists. Yes, we would get our stuff together if those morons ever threatened any of us. No, no one would help Argentina if they declare war again.

As of now, our (brazillian) air force is upgrading the F-5E’s to make them capable of carrying BVR missiles (R-77, MICA, Derby), HMS for off-boresight engagements, laser guided bombs, etc. As for buying a bunch of Flankers, unfortunately that’s far from happening. The government thinks we don’t need new fighters, that our aging, and retiring Mirages, are enough. Hell, those ******* ****s don’t give a damn about our armed forces. I’m all for a dictatorship. Democracy hasn’t given us anything.

Still, if ANYONE ever threaten us, we will kick your butt.

Edit:

“Britains claim is based on international law and the wishes of the population”

Wow, so if the entire south american population’s wishes are to take back the Falklands, can we claim the same thing?

Ignorance is truely bliss.

F-15 ACTIVE! :diablo:
Give it some RAM, uber long range AMRAAMs, AIM-9X, uber powerful engines for supercruise and ****!!!!11!1one!!!eleven

Just as the EF and Rafale, it is said to have had some RCS-reduction measures, but that’s it.

I was comparing the Superbug to the F-15C/J and F-16E.

I’ve seen ~5000kg for the Typhoon and ~6600 for the SH, but it seems you’re forgeting the most important; that range depends on a whole lot of factors other than simple weight of internal fuel like engine efficiency, drag of the aircraft plus pylons plus stores, flying regimes ( lo-lo-lo will consumme a lot more fuel that hi-hi-hi for example), …

So it’s not as simple as you make it…

6500kg for the “normal” Hornet, add 40% and that’s 9100kg for the Superbug. Twice the Typhoon’s internal fuel. While the Typhoon will need atleast 2 external fuel tanks for long missions, the Superbug will not. Even if the Typhoon really has supercruise capability, it is only slightly above mach 1 (around 1.1, maybe 1.15). Engine efficiency is nearly the same on both planes.

I dont think any of them are that much better than the current F-15C/DJs they got.

I think the F-16E/F is a better choice than te F-18E/F.

F-18E/F = reduced RCS (1m²), a lot more fuel than F-16E and F-15C (both internal and external), 2 extra hard points, capable of mach 2.
While the F-15C can only carry 8 AMRAAM’s, the Super Hornet can carry up to 10~12.
How come it’s worse than the F-16E?
