It’s still insane how Finland has more Dutch made aircraft than the Netherlands, hoping for this and several other Dutch vehicles to make their debut soon
(Plus maybe the 2 Luxembourg vehicles).

That might be too controversial. U don’t want Gaijin to end up like top gear do u?
Maybe helis would be trying to fly to one side to the other for cas/landings?
I agree

It isn’t as slick as the F-16 but still looks good
There are other weapons attachment things that are smaller but imo the high mounted stub wing looks the meanest and blends nicely

In capabilities (valid take)
Or looks (F-16E is the ugliest f-16 I have ever seen)

damn, mustve overlooked them
Wasn’t it so bad Norway demanded a refund? And Australia retired it 14 years early to replace with UH-60’s?
Isn’t Greece buying UH-60’s as well?
I’ve never seen SPAA definied that way, where did you get that from?
would it be accurate to say that it appears to me that the new aim-120 currently is quite a bit faster than the 77-1 when fired from low alt but that the 77-1 does beat the C5 when fired from high up
It’s a good enough helicopter but it’s much like German cars, they are excellent when they work perfectly, but to do this they require lots of maintenance and if you skimp even once the costs to fix it are extortionate.
Aside from that NH industries have horrendous delays in producing airframes and spare parts. So it’s not really cost effective particularly when there’s either cheaper or similarly priced but better options depending on your mission profile and you’ll receive them sooner. Germany reported only 15% serviceability, which is abysmal, but to be fair they also reported something like 40% Eurofighter serviceability when the UK was reporting in excess of 85%
But it’s also not like Seahawk doesn’t have its own significant problems, with even the US beginning to question how far it is from obsolescence.
The old ones or the MH-60’s
Both.
Then they will probably end up replacing them with a version of UH-60M, like some NH-90 operators
Personally, I can see a couple flaws with the NH-90 immediately
The Blackhawk is actually built for combat and it’s pretty clear
From the mist, a shape, a ship, is taking form…

Both, for whatever reason I like these CFTs but I also find beauty when I know there’s power so might be the reason
But early blocks and a clean block 50.
Not to mention, if you want power there are blk50 PoBIT’s
