Oh , u shd be in the force to know that all the JSF stuff were
bribes , maybe that is too dangerous for u to say it in a public
forum arent u.
About the missile , u shd know that the R-77 out range the Amraam
and i believe the Derby . However specs of missile offered is one
thing , the technology and era of aircraft offered is another. Are
u trying to tell mi , we will buy a late 80 upgraded by yet vintage
aircraft to match the growing air threat in the region??? No i dun
think so its wise to do that. Are we going to buy a plane whereby
the Americans are replacing and the British are not adoping to
fight our growing threat???
Look here , everyone will know that the Su-30 , Rafale and Typhoon
do provide new technology such as high end sensor , agility and
weaponary which the F-15 dun have or the Americans do not want to
offer. For wat u are saying , are we going to buy a plane whereby
our neighbour's SU is build to kill???
However yes , no doubt the F-15 is old , it still provide a punch
but is it wise to buy something whereby its out dating in the world
arena , and similar Amraam incident might occur again??? Then like
that , we are not learning from our mistakes.
I disagree that the Typhoon is junk , every warplane will meet
error in development , go check out how many Mudhen had crash ,
does it mean that the Mudhen is junk?? If the Typhoon is junk ,
then i shd say in regret that the RAF have choose a junk plane
rather than choosing the F-15s whereby they had test it out in
Kosovo and friendly exchanges between their American
counterparts.
Cheers
Think out
