Ahem................... type CF-35 into mobhack search when in the CDN OOB and you'll find 4 units. One of the issues here is it's a single engine aircraft and that is a legitimate concern given where it will be flown most of the time but there is a LOT of hot air being blown around about the aircraft but ultimately I wouldn't want to guess how it will go one way or the other at this time...... ask me again after the election in the fall but even then...IDK. Right now the OOB's have a 6/2018 start date and that's fine by me until we know more but if anything is really going to kill this deal it's the current currency exchange rate

Re: Jets & Planes but no UAV's here.
That sounds fine to me concerning 6/2018 for those OOB's and UNITS. We have plenty of time. Suhiir should have pretty reliable dates for the F-35B and F-35C we worked those pretty hard. USMC IOC is still on track for I believe it was 07/2015 for the F-35B. Sorry about the CAF jets as I didn't start there. The other countries I searched under "JSF" and they came up that way.
These were a couple of the posts I used to support my last post. On the second ref. just click on the "FLAGS" to see the type F-35 each country ordered and information associated with that order.

Now about that OOPS! Here's I how work I have to first  with my 
which causes me to sometimes just to  : and at other times just  but if I hang in there it's just  all around!!
I wish to thank you for the opportunity to tell a smilie story!! 
Don likes those you know!?! Kinda like he enjoys putting trucks into OOB's!! Alright I'll stop!?!
Have a good day!!
Regards,
Pat

Re: Jets & Planes but no UAV's here.
Actually the dates I have at the moment are:
F-35B 01/2017
F-35C 01/2018
EF-35 Ferret 01/117 - and this should probably use the the F-25C icon/LBM, be changed to 01/2018, and perhaps given a pair of 500# JDAMs (since it has the larger internal weapon bay the F-35B). Chances are they'll use the 'C' variant for a "wild weasel".
There is TONS of rumor, speculation etc. concerning the F-35 but until someone actually deploys them in an active squadron all we can do is take a best guess.

Re: Jets & Planes but no UAV's here.
By way of sending a message to someone, and also note related articles at the bottom of this "featured" one. As a side we will be sending more armor to Europe as well. If I remember, it was around Oct. 2013 when I posted the last tanks were leaving. Served during the official "Cold War" now it looks like the "Cool War" scratch that, with the " Chilly War" has started.

Re: Jets & Planes but no UAV's here.
"Special Purpose Marine Air-Ground Task Force Crisis Response (SPMAGTF-CR) units are well shaped to fill a gap in rapid response when an Amphibious Ready Group/Marine Expeditionary Unit (ARG/MEU) is not available, but are not capable of replacing the ARG/MEU's capabilities ..."
Interesting.
Seems someone has decided to augment the Amphibious Ready Group/Marine Expeditionary Unit (ARG/MEU) concept with one specifically tailored to probably independent company vice battalion size operations.

http://www.janes.com/article/48878/u...-10s-to-europe
2. Covered this with the USMC ref. I provided earlier dealing with the F-35B/C jets this probably was taken from the same with further conformation(s) that confirms the AV-8 HARRIER and HORNET retirement dates...

http://www.defenseindustrydaily.com/...changes-01989/
http://www.janes.com/article/49098/a...rly-next-month
5. The reason Daussault is concerned for their RAFALE is the cost, so here's INDIA's solution and let's not forget their project with Russia and if I have to tell what that is well, you haven't been paying attention for the last four years or so. Anyway...
http://www.janes.com/article/47805/h...dian-air-force
http://www.janes.com/article/49142/a...ghter-progress
6. ARGENTINA shopping around and there's " news within the news" of the second ref if you read it carefully also the UK is not going to like the following concerning ARGENTINA and CHINA coming together on a very likely deal for advanced fighters...
http://www.janes.com/article/48726/a...-working-group
http://www.defenseindustrydaily.com/...planes-022821/

13. FRANCE offers MIRAGE-5F fighters to COLUMBIA...
http://www.defense-aerospace.com/cgi...d=160660&cat=3
14. You lucky Europeans how's it feel to have Russian Bombers flying over and near your airspace again? I'd be a little concerned myself given the current situation in the Russian border zone and within the last rew days Russia itself...
http://barentsobserver.com/en/securi...-warhead-01-02
http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/555...er-the-Channel
http://www.janes.com/article/49064/r...lose-to-europe
The first two above as reported by DID.
15. F-35 news...
http://www.defenseindustrydaily.com/...itment-023629/
http://www.janes.com/article/49141/l...y-improvements
16. CHINA introduces next H-6 series bomber the H-6K not much out there on these planes but with what we have should be enough to verify there isn't more of these in the OOB than there should be based on the data we have. Besides what was used to get them in the OOB in the first place? But then I don't know if they're in there in the first place!! 
So I'll just have to CHECK, VERIFY and make recommendations.
http://www.janes.com/article/49127/x...bomber-details
http://www.military-today.com/aircraft/h6.htm
http://www.military-today.com/aircraft/h6k.htm
M-T always seems to be the first to get equipment data out there most of the time.
Well the taxman has come and gone. It's nice to know he'll be making deposits vice withdrawals, now I can put 2014 behind us-TG!?!
Regards,
Pat

Re: Jets & Planes but no UAV's here.
I'll be curious to see if the USMC manages their intended July 2015 date for an operation F-35B squadron.
BUT ... until one is actually operational I'll stick to my current January 2017 date. Don's been bit in the butt too many times in the past buy "intended" vice "actual".
Besides, there's always 2016's WinSPMBT patch.
