  1. Pretty sure the C/D is out of production and the E/F is too new and expensive, it only had its first flight in 2017.

  2.  @FRIPPE_THE_GREAT  Forget the "secret stuff". Even if that wasn't an objection, they'd need to place an order and Saab would be spending months to produce the aircraft. They need aircraft which exist, are ready to fly without major overhauls, and can be parted with in their current home country.

  3. The S-400 can't protect Crimea.

  4.  @shyrose39  They're using aircraft which were kept up to date with their domestic aircraft industry. Legacy Hornets would need overhauls.

  5.  @sladehelicoptersgaming3148  The DPR broke Minsk II the day after it was signed. The separatist republics are terrorists and Russia always orders them to keep fighting.

  6. No. They already have the Su-25, they wouldn't need another aircraft of the same category.

  7.  @nocapproductions5471  "any help is needed and is needed fast" - Some help is worse than no help. Giving them A-10s, which have lower speed than the Su-25, is actually a hinderance because of all the training hours for pilots and maintenance will be a waste if later we decide to give them something better. F-16s are extremely common and production lines are open. A-10s are starved of parts and the company that made them went out of business in 2003.

  8. The AC-130 can't even fly during the Day. Spirit 03 was shot down and the entire crew died as a result.

  9.  @skylem5373  Jammers are not more powerful than radar emitters. Jammers only work from a long distance, up close radars "burn through" jamming.

  10.  @Nathan-ry3yu  You can't duck during combat. Vertical landing is a very complex process that can't be rushed.

  11. On paper. There's too few of them to support combat operations, while F-16s are one of the most common fighters out there.

  12. It's extremely humanitarian to arm a nation fighting off murderers who came from abroad.

  13.  @FRIPPE_THE_GREAT  Flying an A-10 at low altitude is a waste of its capabilities. It needs to get a good look from above and pick off targets with the targeting pod/laser designator or by using the seekers on Maverick missiles. Flying low would mean doing blind rocket volleys like the Su-25, which they don't need.

  14.  @espacesX  They already have Su-25s.

  15.  @espacesX  Combat at Mach 2 is unheard of.

  16. Why would they need the Harrier? They already have Su-25s.

  17. Because the black market jet trafficking is such a thriving business.

  18.  @csanadbarczy9153  They clearly have shown they deserve them. You don't deserve the standard of living you enjoy, though. We should put you in Siberia.

  19. Well, unfortunately Saab also messed that up. The Gripen C/Ds and E/Fs are like the Hornet and Super Hornet. Two different aircraft with similar design. The older Gripens cannot be rebuilt into newer ones. I mean, they can, but most of the parts are factory new and not much is cannibalized.

  20. The S-400 can't even protect Crimea.

  21. Gee, we got ourselves a Saab sales rep.

  22.  @sladehelicoptersgaming3148  "Though the fighting generally subsided after the ceasefire came into effect at 0:00 EET on 15 February, skirmishes and shelling continued in several parts of the conflict zone.[49] Shelling and fighting at Debaltseve continued, as DPR leader Alexander Zakharchenko said that the ceasefire did not apply to that area.[50] In the south of Donetsk Oblast, fighting between DPR forces and members of the Azov Battalion continued in villages near Mariupol.[50][51] By 16 February, Minsk II seemed on the verge of collapse.[52][53] Separatists continued a heavy assault on Debaltseve. Both sides said that they would not withdraw heavy weaponry as specified by the agreement whilst fighting in Debaltseve was ongoing.[54] Reuters described the ceasefire as "stillborn" in Debaltseve.[55] Ukrainian forces were forced to retreat from Debaltseve on 18 February, leaving separatist forces in control of the city.[56] In the week after the fall of Debaltseve to pro-Russian forces, fighting in the conflict zone abated.[57] DPR and LPR forces began to withdraw artillery from the front lines as specified by Minsk II on 24 February, and Ukraine did so on 26 February. Ukraine reported that it had suffered no casualties during 24–26 February, something that had not occurred since early January 2015.[57][58]" This is from the wiki page on Minsk accords

  23. It has everything to do with us. Budapest Memorandum. We promised security.

  24. Russia has lost plenty of aircraft.

  25.  @yeoshenghong4802  Oh, they're going to nuke the West? The oligarchs and the sons and daughters of oligarchs live in the West. They love London, Paris, Rome. They live among us and study in our universities. Russia nukes the West, they're nuking the relatives of their most powerful people.

  26. That would be a nightmare to reprogram and re-wire.

  27.  @barrysoetorro9123  lol complete vatnik delusion, bringing up the Polish conquest. "Russia is disarming nato." - lol the US still has all their carriers and all their fighters. How is NATO being disarmed when the main source of power projection is untouched? "The US fired 60,000 artillery rounds during the entire gulf war. Russia and donbass ukrainians fire 60,000 artillery rounds a day." - Because they're a cope army which can't fight so they have to blast their inaccurate artillery everywhere. The Gulf War had less artillery because American air power destroyed Iraq's forces before ground units could advance. Russia can't use their air power to accomplish the same, so they have to fight the hard way instead of the smart way.
