  1. Air superiority from what?

  2.  @SASCAT1972  yes that is a big problem in the NZDF. If the retired equipment is slated for the museum after we are done then something is seriously wrong and is a mindset that needs to change in govt, hopefully that policy is literally a thing of the past. That is another major difference between us an Aus, they upgrade or replace a lot sooner (and better) than us and when they do replace generally up their numbers whereas we generally find ways/reasons/excuses to cut numbers. I would be at least happy with 1 for 1 but that is rare these days.

  3.  @SASCAT1972  so you are comparing ASLAV to NZLAV?? We purposely did not get ASLAV as it would have been buying into old equipment/technology instead of new and for something that literally has to last decades in service that is a bigger consideration in terms of future proofing. Just because Australia buys something does not then automatically equate to it then being cheaper for us as they generally spend more on their equipment in the first place, check out their current boxer prices as an example, difference being they have the funding to do so.

  4.  @SuspiciousGreenSock  we have deployed 8 of them (out of 105) operationally overseas a grand total of, 1 time, in the entire time we have had them (nearing 20 years) and that was towards the end of the mission even...hardly an issue.

  5. Nope.

  6. Replace the frigates with frigates AND get an absalon to replace the long lost and needed 3rd frigate (we once had 4). More options, literally, and an easier sell than just another pure frigate. We still need proper frigates though but we also could do with more sealift so win win. Could even make the frigates Ivers for commonalitys sake.

  7.  @NickyKDChaleunphone  haha what?? When has NZ begged Australia to send fighters to cover our airspace champ?? You are literally just making up scenarios just to suit your rhetoric, you been watching too many movies there wardog, next you'll be saying we should get submarines to fight off the Russian subs when they invade Auckland harbour!
