  1. Rafale is another great plane, it is similar to the Typhoon, the French made it a multi-roll from the beginning. it is a good looker for sure.

  2. The Land Rover has a good reputation for its ruggedness and dependability.

  3. I like this airplane, it's the ultimate dogfighter.

  4. The Gripen JAS-39 should be Canada's next aircraft for defense of the north half of North America. We are told that the F-35 is the greatest fighter ever, but a lot of people have questions about that, it hasn't proven itself yet, nor has the price been settle yet. The F-35 was designed to engage, shoot, and kill its enemy from long distances and not within visual range (WVR). It has never been dogfighter, the only way the F-35 could defeat other fighters was was to sneak up on them and take them by surprise like a sniper. Stealth is its advantage. For the money JAS-39 is the best fighter in the world. The US Navy has already developed technologies in the E-2 Hawkeye to track and target stealth fighters, bombers and missiles, this needs to continue so we can make stealth aircraft obsolete. Eliminating stealth aircraft would help tax payers and decrease the power of the military industrial corporations all over the world. Gripen JAS-39 would be great for defending the Canada.

  5. ​ @Fabio-om4kb  -- Omni role Rafale is an excellent fighter that is right for France and for other nations. Dassault developed Rafale in the way they wanted it and didn't have to compromise with UK; Germany; Italy and Spain, they built it per French specs.The Rafale is a evolutionary decedent of the Mirage 2000, based on proven technologies plus new innovated technologies which is typical of French design.

  6. I agree the Air Force should continue to improve on their gunships, as you say the guns are powerful and effective and probably cost effective when compared to missiles.

  7. Good points and it makes sense for use against insurgent forces that are not equipped like a bona fide armies.

  8. I like the JAS-39 Gripen, it's a more modern design than the Super Hornet. I like your view point.

  9. Good comments, the F-35 is hurting US and UK air power, the F-35 is a crime against our countries. It's corruption in the highest levels of government and defense contractors. The A-10 is bought, paid for, has been effective and loved by the pilots, crew, and ground soldiers. Why change it?

  10. Iconic Russian, the Hind is impressive.

  11. JAS 39 is a great fighter, Swedish style.

  12. Liam, The Red Flag Exercise is sponsored USAF who are the people responsible for building the F-35. Can you trust anything they say? The F-35 is fat, it's slow and draggy, it cannot super cruise, the military may be saying it doesn't need to now, but before the F-35 super cruise was a big deal. Note that all these aircraft super cruise, Typhoon, Rafale, Su-35, F-22 Raptor, PAK-FA, F-15 Eagle and the Gripen JAS-39. The F-35 is not combat ready and won't be until they fix all it's known problems and as it's being made ready for combat they will find new problems. All these problems will have to be fixed on the existing aircraft at additional expense. The ALIS (Autonomic Logistics Information System) is not ready and is required to be for the F-35 to operate. The F-35 is the most advanced and automated fighter plane ever, it's optimized for stealth, uses artificial intelligence, autonomous programs, sensor fusion and a Helmet Mounted Display System to fight in a different type of warfare, not a conventional air war fighter. The F-35 has not proven it's self yet and the price is not set. Time well tell, but buying that plane is a gamble.
