I want a Tomcat with current nomenclature of armament.
But US cannot take THIS F-14 (IRIAF), by your logic (they be friends with IIAF, not IRIAF).
So your argument about Canadian Leopards is invalid just as Australian Abrams.
Both Canada and Australia (to a noticeably greater extent) are much better suited as a minor subtree of Britain. (Canadian ADATS, Ram, etc., Australian Sentinel (A.C.4), and others).
(This if even don’t mention old relationship (Commonwealth))
This addition is consistent with the guidelines we have set out and what I have reposted multiple times in this very thread. It doesn’t change any rule.
If US want Iranian F-14, because they sell it to IIAF - they can have only IIAF version, without all this juicy stuff.
If we want F90, Sedjil, R-27 etc., someone other must take this Tomcat. Because Islamic Republic of Iran isn’t in a good relationship with US (Diplomatical awkwardness? Nah, ain’t hear.).
So, as me, we can set it to any country, which is in good relationship with Iran.
This is:
Italy (because have Turkey as subtree, and Turkey is in good relationships with Iran).
USSR/RF, for same reason, but without intermediaries. Like Syrian TURMS-T (Soviets ain’t have Syria’s subtree, but still have this tank with Italian FCS).
I am not here to argue. Just provide the facts as they are.
However when someone is repeatedly spamming in an off topic direction because they disagree with the facts, that’s not something that’s ok to carry on.
It’s entirely fine to disagree and voice your opinion. Going down the spam route isn’t going to change anything or help get your point across any louder.
It’s not US planes, from the moment, when it been sold to Iran.
US can have IIAF Tomcat (which a copypaste), but not the IRIAF ones (Iranians been forced to make/buy this new missiles/avionics, ONLY because US maintenance teams, when they left, ruined everything they could reach).
Usa still would have the biggest claim over all those you named because they are the original owners and developers doesnt matter the politics behind it
Because US have ONLY AMBT (which they have by some unknown reason - Italy need it more), while Italy have Turkish Mangusta, AND Starfighter (which not in US tree, bozo).
We have bunch if vechiles, in foreign (or even opposite) countries, “just because”.
As i said - US lost any rights and claims at this planes at moment, when they sold them.
IRIAF not friendly (even opposite) to US, so US can go… further, even without fact, that they have enough F-14, and we can calmly take it to someone else.
