True
And IIRC both naval forces as a whole, and then later just battleships were denied at some point.

A month before the MiG-29SMT was revealed, R-73s were said to not be planned to be put on MiG-29s due to the superior capabilities of the platform, also.

Tornado with ASRAAM could be something
None; it was an unarmed demonstrator
And if we get those F-15 ACTIVE when
Sea harrier FA2 or F-18 would definetly be at least managable at 12.3. We wont be truly competitive until the Typhoon
Yep, still no chance of them. DA2 would be:
Engines from the Tornado F3
A radar a little more powerful than the one found in the FA2
Loadout would probably be 6x Aim-9, 4x Aim-120
Limited flight performance due to missing features of the full production
No A2G
Still got a hard denied
Leider.
Not to mention SAAF was denied softly until recently again I think right?

Well… its an unarmed demostrator of the BAE ACA, which is currently being researched by a few to see what weapons it could have. Maybe about the same as the Gripen C by all accounts
They are the same tank btw, just different Nicknames (at least im fairly certain that is the case)

Turns out that is no longer
From the little bit I read OES is just TES in a different configuration
Its what happens when a 2E gets the same upgrades that makes the TES, but just more modern versions of the gear (I think).
So better optics, thermals, engine, etc.

Smin meant that for the current MiG-29s at the time.
we’re gonna hit 10k before the devblogs even start

He said they weren’t planned because of the superior flight characteristics compared to the Su-25, never stating specifically about only the at the time in game MiG-29s, and that doesn’t change the fact that the MiG-29SMT is still a MiG-29, completely undermining the argument that was given.
Hmmmm…
What happens when we cross the 10K mark?
Maybe it will summon Smin to deliver a sick roast to us hopium fueled troglodytes (we kinda deserve it)

A new thread will automatically be made.
Denied for now, but if F-15s show up, maybe they’ll be next? That’s the idea anyway. It’s the same situation as the F-2. The only thing holding it back is AESA radars not being a thing. Once US gets something with AESA, F-2 is coming in easily.
The XF-2A only has a PD radar, so it could be added right now with AAM-3s and AIM-7Ms.
