I’m surprised they are not in yet because of there lack in wheeled vehicles hehe

i mean the only difference between the Russian Centauro and the British flown F-18 is that Britain wont have many aircraft at the F-18E mark as typhoons might still be too advanced maybe, and Australian F-18Fs will most likely go as a US SQV like M1A1 AIM
whereas Russia already has Centuaro like equivalents as the 2S25

and future additions like the bmpt and kurganez 25 that will fill the same role

Every modern russian tank with thermals used french tech.
T-72B3, T-80BVM and T-14 for France when?

I guarantee it is too far fetched, because we have 4th gens (even though they aren’t fighters), its supposedly not the same as Japan not having a 4th gen but their 3rd gen is more capable in A2A.

Every F-35 has Russian technology, when? And everything like that)
The F-35 uses an equation for calculating it’s thrust vectoring for maintaining VTOL while keeping air going through the intake. Or at least something similar I can’t remember what the equation was for.
Well its more of a thought, britian wont have much to fill the gaps between now (Cf-18 and tornado Gr.4 territory) and the eurofighter, the same way japan doesnt have much between F4EJ and F2/F15J
So a british flown F18E might work

T-90M for France. We’re the only reason that tank is competent.
Ladies and gentlemen… We have the basis.

yak41 has a very similar VTOL system to the f35b
All “VTOL” technology and documentation are Russian-made, the Americans simply bought it after the Yak-141 project

By using deathmisser’s logic, it is completely reasonable

There is no need for a “british flown” hornet when Australia and Canada have operated Hornets

I mean, sure if you can prove where the Eurofighter would fill a gap
And for SQV the US has far better domestic alternitives like F16XL etc
Wouldn’t say all VTOL tech
Yeah, that’s where the equation came from. They bought the rights to use it from the development team.
