I honestly think the USAF will opt for BAe Hawks over the M-346. I just can’t see that happening. I also wouldn’t be surprised if the USAF figured a way to wrench another decade out of the aged T-38’s.

Debatable

Free world trade is a very good thing.

I have a feeling some folks would argue that point.

Unfortunately my computer is assembled in China from components made in Malaysia, Thailand and Korea.

F-16V? Maybe they’ll be the launch customer.

F-16s to Taiwan

The House clears the sale of 66 F-16s to Taiwan

No Disrespect

More importantly….may he rest in peace.

Who cares if the jet was older? Show respect for the pilot.

No disrespect was meant. Get over yourself

Sad news

That jet had to be up there in age.

JF-17 is far more advanced than any 1980s plane F-22 was designed to take on, but be my guest 😀 and don’t cry to mommy should it get locked on

I have a feeling, the 17 won’t know what hit it. Stealth, supercruise and more advanced avionics place the F-22 way above any potential threat. Should the F-22 get into a turning dogfight, there is the hyper-maneuverability to contend with.Let’s not forget these raptor pilots do train against the real thing. It happens out of the public eye to ensure that combat is not the first time an F-22 pilot is up against a MiG-29 or Su-27. I am not trying to sound like an F-22 fan-boy, but the capability is tough to deny.
