Re: Jets & Planes but no UAV's here.
It's as good as any place for that post.  I have the following from early June with their being more to it just Tranche 1 EUROFIGHTER, it will also require the SAAB 105OE's and possibly their Pilatus PC-7 trainers replaced as well. As you can see the "numbers" are a big concern as all these decisions are.
https://www.flightglobal.com/news/ar...m-2020-439130/
This what I see happening as of right now...
1) Tranche 1 EUROFIGHTER: A possible deal gets worked in some combination or alone with EUROFIGHTER to reduce the cost of maintenance and or upgrade the fighter to a higher standard.
2) SAAB 105OE: Definitely will replace these they've been reliable jets for them that they've had for a longtime now.
3) Pilatus PC-7: I see them keeping these trainers with an upgrade package which are available.
Conclusions:
1a) I'm not sure that EUROFIGHTER will be able to currently pull off the deal as noted in A) above.

http://www.military-today.com/aircra...er_typhoon.htm
So...
2a.) I see a fighter competition coming down to the following...
RAFAEL the one they wish they could have but might not be able to afford basically.
http://www.airforce-technology.com/projects/rafale/
http://www.military-today.com/aircra...ult_rafale.htm
F-16V or next mark down, however, if they want a shot at competing with the Russian stealth fighters, they need to get the "V" series.

http://www.military-today.com/aircraft/f16v_viper.htm
GRIPEN C/D 4th Gen+ or the new GRIPEN NG 4th Gen ++, either of these would be a cheaper option in leasing which several countries are doing and just in outright purchasing them as some have done as well. There are currently maybe only 2 or 3 jets that can be considered 4th Gen something. I believe the GRIPEN will be the winner as these fighters meet all their current considerations.

Re: Jets & Planes but no UAV's here.
If I may:
Afghanistan OOB:
547 EMB-314 - an official designation is A-29 as well (I suggest: A29 SuperTucano). They first arrived in 1/16 (now: 4/15) https://www.militarytimes.com/2015/1...tack-aircraft/ - needs a formation 089 change as well
Icon in fact should be grey (2894 could do, or 2844 Mustang) |
