We've narrowed it down to these two, which should we get? I'm leaning towards the Gripen E, they're cheaper and Swedes have already proven to be more reliable than burgers when it comes to military procurements.
>>199170311Get the Gripen, the Burgers may suddenly decide that the f-16’s you bought should go to Israel instead.
>>199170311F16s obviously
>>199170311You MUST support our military industrial complex or see what happens
Buy the Gripen E and have them to be made in our factory :)
>>199170311What does it say in the bottom about F35s? You should get those
>>199170386Are you capable of posting without mentioning Jews or Israel at all, """briton"""?
>buying planes from somalians and jeetssmart countries buy chinese, a single pakistani j10 makes indian airspace a pakistani ones.
>>199170311Isnt gripen c the newest? either way please please buy
>>199170482>Pakistan ever winning anything ever
>>199170447Americans won't sell them to us for geopolitical reasons, but they'll still offer reheated leftovers like the Block 70 F-16 and F-15EX (made by Boeing).Neither of which is as affordable up front or in lifetime maintenance cycles as the Gripen E.
>>199170525>Isnt gripen c the newest?Are you really Swedish?https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saab_JAS_39_Gripen#Variants
>>199170633I tried! :/
>>199170311Gripen is a giant question mark, leased but rarely bought and never by anyone seeing combat.F-16 is among the most proven platforms in aircraft history.
>>199170704We've already dominated Chinese fighters in earlier exercises using the Gripen.>that's not real combatNeither is shooting down Cold War era Syrian MiGs with an F/A-18 Superhornet.
Could have sworn we already bought the Gripens. Is this about a second purchase or did I remember wrong?
>>199171147Second purchase. We have Gripen C/D, but not E.
Might as well get what's cheap. You'll probably never need them anyways
>>199170311The only reason to buy from america was their powerful sway over other countries now it's fading and waiting years for a delivery + the political conditions that come with it isn't worth it
>>199170311Gay. You buy mil equipment based on who give biggest goodboy point It's not like we will ever actually use it. If china ever chimpout they are US problem.
>>199171182Maybe the F16V then? Buy fewer if price is an issue? We have way more old-F16 pilots and experience>>199171271>>199171518The realistic scenarios are Myanmar war spillover or sudden Cambodian chimpout
>>199171691myanmar and cambodia are both backward ww2-tier country. even super tucano would be enough.
>>199171715There's no kill like overkill :)
>>199171715Myanmar still operates MiGs that would obliterate a propeller plane.
>>199171715Dont talk shit about my beloved myanmar
>>199171767>*vietnam war-tierDo the US still sell F4?\>>199171768No offense, they have massive opportunity to rival viet but they squander it by being complete retards.
>>199170616>geopolitical reasons, That tends to happen when you buy chinese submarines, chinese frigates, chinese tanks and chinese IFVs.
>>199170311Who the fuck would invade Thailand?
