Didn’t the M4K stop after Saudis bought Tornadoes anyways?
No, the Saudi’s were testing the M4K at the time you made your sudden offer. Why bring up the Tornado’s it was an aircraft were looking at buying and it’s not in the same situation as the M4K & the F-15
Because that’s what the Saudis were also considering buying (and ended up buying, putting a stop to M4K)

The US is literally still working on undercutting other countries, they’re trying very hard to derail the GCAP right now. (Trying to get both the Saudis and Japan to buy the F-47, which would completely ruin the project). The F-2 itself was literally a result of the US undercutting japanese domestic efforts to create their own jet.

It’s pretty funny. Gaijin themselves admitted in the 2024 FAQ that they screwed up the balance. But for some players, I guess the “balance” is the version of GRB where CAS dominates.
I dunno, I just play arcade lol

Literally what we’ve been saying, on top of this even if Canada makes it’s own aircraft the US would still try and claim it like the skink

Saudis buying F-15 wasn’t undercutting it was buying a more proven and capable jet

CF-100 and 105 should go to UK. Domestic Canadian and British Canadian stuff belongs in UK.

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
