So was the M4K which my I add the Saudis were testing at the same time as your offer
Any news about dev stream? I assume its tomorrow morning as usual unless stated otherwise.
M4K wasn’t more proven
Because you under cut the Saudi’s at the time of testing so you proven my point about the M4K being under cut again

Look at the dates of F-15 deal initially happening and dates of M4K first flight
Not even the French wanted the M4K
Not to mention that in 1982 when the F-15 finally arrived after getting through all the Middle East political stuff, F-15’s had been flying for 10 years (6 years in service), which is a whole lot more than M4K
Ok then if dates matter then the Tornado arrived in 1974 and arrived in SA in 85 so that 9 years way more than your silly little F-15

That’s first flight not introduction date
And first Saudi Tornado was delivered in 1986 + your math is wrong even with 1985
So first flight doesn’t matter for the F-15 but it matters for the M4K

It’s 11 years lol
1st flight is a more favorable statistic for time flying
Not to mention M4K was never even introduced so I cant put an introduction date because there isn’t one
So again that proven my point earlier that you tried to bring up with the Tornado while speaking about the M4K so that whole piece of that argument just been made invalid

You wanted to talk about F-15 vs M4K but now bringing in Tornado after I started talking about F-15? Are you ok bc you really aren’t making sense
No one undercut anyone because the US initially committed to Saudi F-15 deal in 1977 2 years before M4K got off the ground
Yeah my bad, wiki said M4K was given up on bc of Tornado and not F-15 (this is true though)
At least you owned up,
as for this part
“Historical records indicate significant interest from Saudi Arabia in the Mirage 4000, particularly in the late 1970s and early 1980s. For instance, Dassault Aviation notes that “The king of Saudi Arabia and the Shah of Iran were interested in the Mirage 4000 program even before its first flight.” This interest was driven by regional security needs and U.S. restrictions on F-15 sales, as mentioned in GlobalSecurity.org, which suggests conversations with Saudis left the impression they might acquire 100 Mirage 4000s.”

Crazy how well Japan mains are eating this update.
Literally getting their endgame ship, plane and AA all in one update.
Oh man, stoked for multi-vehicle platforms. This opens the door to so many opportunities. Couldn’t get a good shot from the trailer of the Type 81C’s system.
