No Austria either removed the amraam capabilities what isn’t likely or just don’t use them way more likely
What a waste of money
The aircraft could be introduced with a selection of German and Austrian camouflage options, similar to what we saw with the F-104 TAF and its pre-order camouflage. It would spice things up visually.
Not exactly Austria don’t have a offensive army iirc its against their laws and constitution if that’s what they call it. So the eurofighter in their service is purely defensive
Yea and who said AMRAAM are offensive weapon? All of the weapons are both offensive and defensive, it’s how you use them
Austrian politicians. But they are mainly offensive lmao
The JSDF and IDF operate AMRAAMs, so OBVIOUSLY AMRAAMs are Defensive.
IDF is a offensive force too lmao. And the JDSF just have different views on it ig Austria and their politicians considered them offensive weaponry and thus were off limits.

It’s the *IOF
Israeli offensive force
How are they mainly offensive? For any air to air missile you are claiming that you defend your airspace, if someone is coming to bomb you are you gonna wait to come to 20km to use the IRIS-T?
In the course of the Eurofighter procurement, the Austrian Armed Forcesto acquire AIM-120 AMRAAM missiles. However, the procurement was stopped by Defense Minister Günther Platter in order to stay within the budget of 1.969 billion euros legally approved by parliament at the time.
The current 1.6 billion euro package for air surveillance as part of the “2032+ recovery plan” could also include AMRAAM. The guided missile is an issue in connection with a potential Eurofighter upgrade, but could also be used to arm the planned future M-346FA jet trainer of the Austrian Armed Forces. in the future.

Names change. They stopped being purely defensive along time ago lmao
Tldr: they use AMRAAM, just not on the Eurofighter
Swiss f18 not Austrian but yea they have been changing as of recently again all the amraam talks are currently just speculation I don’t think it’s too far to assume they’ll change their military doctrine to allow for more offensive weaponry
Both small Germany :3
Mountain Germanys :3
Britain: Indian MiG-29UPG
Japan: Indonesia Su-30MK2
Israel: Greek F-16 variant or just another copy Israel F-16
Germany: idk
Italy: Romanian F-16
What about a double seater Mirage? (For Israel)
Maybe, but that would require some more effort probably which is not happening with these pack premiums
I would still rather have a F-15DJ
