Ive heard that Mexico gonna upgrade their E2C to Hawkeye 2000 at Israel . DOes anybody knows if its better or worse than the R99A? Also I dont understand why an Awacs used to intercept drugdelaers planes have to be so sofisticated like this 2000 version

This is a good news for Brazil . At his time well have to replace our São Paulo ACC . A Kuznetzov or a participation on the russian project would be good .

It was demonstrated i tests that it can perfoimr good dash sppeds making good to evade from missiles .

Yet his initial procedures are understandable given the failure of the IMF “medicine” prior to his election

Well I think the only mistake IMF did in Argentine was to fully support Menen . It happened because he did some important things like privatization beforre many countries in LA . Problem is that privatizations there were done with the purpose to imporve’s Argentine’s cash to sustain Mene’s populists actions . IMF mistake was not to notice this resources allocations

If you consider Kirchner to be a populist anti-US agitator, I’m scared to ask what your opinion of Lula is… :;

Sure sometimes LUla makes the same thing ( only the anti-US stuff not anti free trade) but even that is much less then Kichner . But I did a mistake here when I said anti-US I was also referring to IMF and World Bank . My fault again here .

With “free trade” you mean ALCA

Not only ALCA but also the recent argentinean’s government decision to halt brazilian textile imports

ALCA is tailored to the interests of the USA

Here I strongly disagrees with you . If all ALCA countries open its markets all will gain . At economy all can win at the same time 😉

has already re-statitized the postal service (Correo Argentino) and the nationwide radio signal surveilance net provided by the french Thales because the privat owners failed to make the investments detailed on the contracts.

IM not sure here but I thik the postal service havent had a good justification …Anyway help me on this question. Also I dont know how was the contracts but you have to see as Argentine’s economy is bad nowadays , investments from these companies also may be impossible to do . I dont know I would have to read those contracts to be sure .

About the FMI (its IMF in english, BTW) recomendations, well, sadly we all know what they did to Jamaica.

What happened there? I havent read anything abot Jamaica for a good time .

Give us time and leave us alone, we are going to get our neck above water again.

Good luck I hope you succeed:)

Well, frankly I don’t think it makes much sense in defense for them, too

Yeah many people dont understand this . Well Brazilian navy claims the carrier will be used for airsuperiority mission over Brazil’s coast .

How do you like Kirchner, by the way? He was here in Davos a week ago. He made a rather good impression up to now.

I see Kichner as a poplist with its anti-US and anti free trade speech. Also he says will statizet some companies and istn following FMI main recomendations . Seems like Argentine will never get up again

The Daggers were bought to replace the F-86 Sabres, and mainly to compensate for Chiles purchase of Mirage 50s

I read on a brazilian magazine that Daggers and Super Etadarts, Exocets were bought because of Falklands

If there is a branch of the argie militar that deserves recognition its the fighter pilots for achieving what they achieved with the equipment at hand.

Argentinean A4 pilots were brave ding that suicidal bombings but Dagger/Nasher pilots act very badly according to UK’s pilots after dogfights . I remenber reading things like “the Dagger was making small turns like am unuseless zigzag when I chased it ” And I remenber reading also Dagger/Nasher pilots saing about mistakes like not being able to understand co pilots special gestures to avoid radio calss as well as other ones I dont remenber .

Problem with “low intensity” is a few new MANPADs all of the sudden make some of these slow airframes risky. I like the Sri Lanka thing with the MiG-27 ( swinger good for heavy loads on shortish fields on hot days ) .

ALX can be fitted with RWR and MAWS and flare launcher . And as a turboprob has lower IR signature then Mig27 . I dont know about Migs 27 airframe but ALX can hold .50 machine gun shots tks to a brazilian indigenous developed armor.
