Gotta be quick back to the "grind" later this afternoon. All this I've posted on in here.
1) QE Carriers "Thank God" will be multi-decked capable if required with the HMS Prince of Wales though I can't remember if they got it done with the Queen Elizabeth or it'll be retro-fitted (Has?).
2) Current
A-10 fleet has had significant airframe and wing structural work done on it. Also new avionics suite (Which includes defensive upgrades as well.) plus new cockpit suite to modernize it, and tie into the above items as well as increase it's offensive capabilities in targeting etc. (I.E. Laser RF) plus the targeting pods that have for sometime now include defensive capabilities as well.
3)
F-15E/SE without a doubt our best all around fighter/fighter bomber to include deep penetration ops which it was designed for.
4) Latest
F-16 version also
much improved over all previous versions if the exception of maybe the last possibly two previous versions.
5)
FA-18E/F also seeing major upgrades to include
FA-18/C/D being brought up to the E/F+ standard if you will.
6)
F-22 also has had and is continuing to be updated as well. As the USAF has stated the F-35 would be irrelevant without the F-22. That's an eye opener.
7) Can you figure out why we're upgrading those USN/USAF planes? Well lets just say "It's all those delays..." caused by the F-35 program.
It's all in here already.
Regards,
Pat
