I really really like the loadout with 2 LGBs on the one side & 1 LDP + 3 Brimstones on the other side & two wing tanks & ECM jammers.

I don’t think there is any market for used Gripens. Quite a lot of countries would make very good use of those used gripens, but for some reason they always buy F16s instead (used or new). Wondering why?

Images work but the new layout is still ugly and very hard to read.

Mirage F-1 has a clear development line going back through the Mirage-III which was more then likely influenced by the Fairey Delta.
Bull of the highest magnitude. First flight of the Fairey Delta 6th of october 1954, first orders for prototypes of MD 550 Mirage in march 1954. The construction of the first Mirages prototypes started before the fairey delta had even flown.
Another french delta jet was flown in January 1954, the Payen Pa49. Was the Fairey delta influenced by it? Were they both influenced by the XF92?

look at it this way, if they could make small planes like that, they would have already.
“They” certainly wouldn’t because they wouldn’t make enough money off it.
Nic
Those numbers have already been debunked a couple times in this very forum.

I really like this concept. You could place many VLS type cells in dedicated support HUMMWEEs, or add just a couple VLS cells to light patrol vehicles…

Nice sig there dumbass
For both (UK and France) the best and most important option should be to have something work from their future carriers, controlled by their Rafales and F-35’s. Something that can carry bombs, sensors and even Air weapons and acts as a mule to the fighters…This would not only increase their REACH but would also allow them to increase significantly their carrier footprint as far as mission effectiveness is concerned.
Good luck controlling a few UCAVs from a single seater.

What about:
BAE does a great product that serves the RAF & RN well and even get a few export sales
Dassault does a great product that serves AdlA & MN well and get a few export sales.
Why the NEED to absoluteley tie your own hands by cooperating?
Nic
Clearly looks like Boeing thinks there is an international market for a fighter other than the F35 in the near future.

There was supposedly a joint French/UK project to develop a successor to the Mica. I guess the Mica NG program means this project failed.

It’s not too soon! It was ridiculous to watch such an expensive helicopter carry only a gun and rockets. 50 year old choppers could do that too.
Nic
I also think that many pictures don’t appear for me. I’m using Windows 7 & Mozilla firefox.
Also I’d like to say that this new layout is really a downgrade compared to the old one which was much more clear and pleasing to the eye. For instance on some monitors you can’t tell where the list of sticky posts ends because the colour are too close and with a bad contrast you can’t tell the difference. It’s really annoying.

For CAS or BAI the Typhoon is at least as good as the Rafale.
