Should be a pretty attractive deal then. I really hope it goes through, not only because it's Swedish but also because I very much prefer seeing European nations buy European hardware for more cooperation within and for a completely independent Europe.
There are so many I want to put on that list but of course Gripen should be on there!
lol, it's because I'm more into ground attack aircraft (and heli's since I saw the BS videos) and it -somehow- ended up outside the list, umm.. maybe I should squeeze it in there.
That is sad, the museums should bid higher than the scrap yards.
I saw it in the other thread, I hope you go for the JAS-39 Gripen (I'm Swedish) but with politics involved it might not happen.
or DCS? I would like that too, it's a very interesting aircraft.
I'm holding my thumbs, or crossing fingers, or what you say for Croatias Mig-21's not falling apart before there is a replacement. :smilewink:
It's a logical evolution of the union. The first step towards this will be an EU military alliance making NATO redundant. And after that, it could be possible a central command is created which leads to all the groupings basically working like one force. All member states would save money from having a common defense because the redundancy that exists now between the different forces would not be needed.
The Su-25 is brilliant. I hope they are still in service the day we see one unified European armed force. At least Georgia might still use their Su-25KM's.
That is something I'd love to see but I think it's quite unlikely that Russia would be included. It's not impossible though, they are currently providing helicopters for the EU peacekeeping mission to Chad so there is cooperation. We would probably see them joining the EU before that can happen and that is also unlikely considering the way its developing. Or are you referring to the Sukhoi aircraft operated by other European nations?
While I'm happy with the list, especially the Mi-24, I would like to know if you consider adding any european aircraft in the future or if DCS will be another cold war style sim with USA vs Russia technology?
