Well as far as the OP goes, Argentine J-20s are simply something to be left on the model display stand. The J-20 will probably go the way of the J-8, it will have “signs of interest” from outside parties but will never be exported.

Realistic thinking would see the Argentine AF become more of a COIN or CAS air force, keeping its Pampa’s and Pucara’s as the main fleet while holding on to a small number (10-12) of an aircraft in the used F-16C/D area.

Anything else is wishful thinking

[QUOTE=a89;1973619]There are no plans to acquire MiG-29 so far. I thought those SMT rejected by Algeria were a good option for many countries, as RSK MiG could not afford to have another scandal. By the way, I did not know about the 250 million $ deposit.

I don’t understand what you are trying to say, how can Peru have no plans to acquire them when they have already been delivered????

:diablo:Lol, sorry my bad. At first I thought he was inventing aircraft designations, then I wiki searched it and saw the Hustler. Then my internet played up and I couldn’t save myself such red facedness as the comment box wouldn’t let me edit my comment lol

Without changing this threads subject, why was it terrifying for the crews?

Hey Tigershark…is it just me or does the first J-20 look identical to the second one??? I ask this as you clearly had a problem with the PAK-FA prototypes look identical…different rules for the J-20???

The only stealthy thing about the J-20 is its stealth….WAAAAA HAHAHA :dev2:

Confucius say “Chinabot brain like Swiss cheese, full of holes!”…

I’m gonna make up a fictional nation, the Bongo Bongo Republic :D.

Bongo Bongo is a wealthy Eastern African country which shares its borders with Ethiopia and the breakaway Free Republic of Bongotania. Bongotania broke away twenty years ago and there are constant skirmishes as they claim my nations vast mineral deposits and constantly attempt to take the small port city of Muna Bongo, the only link for Bongo Bongo to the sea.

The FRB is backed politically by the US, mainly due to the BBR having been a a major regional ally of the former Soviet Union and present day Russia. Today, the BBR plays host to three thousand Russian military personnel who service mainly cargo Russian and UN cargo transports heading to various hotspots around the region. In return for allowing the presence of Russian/UN personnel in the BBR, Russia has deployed a full squadron of MiG-29 fighters and police the skies over Bongo Bongo.

Russia has also been a major supplier, supplying 24 x Su-25 ground attack aircraft, 10 Mi-24 Hinds and 26 Mi-17 Hips all for armed troop transport.

Transport is provided by six ex-RAF C-130 and two ex-Russian AF An-26 transports which cover the range of BBR quite well, but budget allowing we should be getting a sole new build C-17 for medevac missions.

Airborne warning is carried out by two ex-USN E-2 Hawkeyes donated to the BBR following the BBR’s anti-piracy efforts.

We have no real recce abilites outside of low level Su-25 flypasts so this is an urgent requirement given that the FRB is re-equipping with modern Chinese ManPads and has made new claims to BBR territory.

If the Japanese are/were so confident in taking the islands then go ahead and try, Russians could use some target practice.

If he is Chinese and resident of the PRC, the freedom to make an ass of himself is probably the only real freedom he has…so he is intent on making the most of it :dev2:
