Based upon last year, the counters came 1-2 updates before.
Such as the Mig-29SMT, Mig-29G and F-16C coming before Gripen and alongside F-15A and Su-27.
I can fully see Typhoon and Rafale coming after they would be appropriate to be added. But we are simply too close to them being required to dismiss their addition at this point. Italy is out of aircraft without doing wierd things like Spanish F-18s. Britain is out of aircraft without tech like mmV Brimstones or ASRAAM. And Germany only has the F-18C from the Swiss. France I have no idea what they have left, if anything
Still hoping for the 157th FS “Swamp Foxes” when we get a Block 52 F-16CJ. Equally important squadron to me and I think a good many others in all honesty.
surely not same booster. just because it’s from the same institute of old PL-11.
it’s just using the PL-11 name to announce “hey, we come back to make AAMs”(they mainly design SAMs after PL-11)
France has the Mirage 2000-5F Mk 2 before the Rafale, which is the same as the Mk 1 but with a better radar. The earliest Rafales are also worse than the T1 and 2 Typhoons in a few ways, so one of those could come.
