Not surprising on that
it is not hard to search up smins comments with the keyword f18
either way, i confirm, it was when someone dug too deep(as usual) and thought the av8bs radar (which the f18 uses too) is a direct hint that its coming
besides that they only answered irrelevant questions
it was the loan ones which I will admit I did miss read and thought it was just denial of all F18s

neither can i
Fair enough
Which was also already denied
No I meant someone else brought up the unofficial lease F/A-18 stuff
Not all
i said someone, not you
which ill say again unless we get a canadian CF18 or aussie F/A-18 britain will once again be stuck with a sub par aircraft for its top br since you know we dont even have a 12.0 jet never mind a 12.3
Ok fair enough :)
Forgives as well recently I’ve just been bombarded with hate mail.

:P
We have a few options for maybe equal and we have a few native options, but they’d be underdogs at best.
I know there was the demonstrator version of the Eurofighter but it also mounted no radar or weapons, besides that I haven’t seen any domestic aircraft that could even be considered top tier material.
*Modified. Canada never built any just modified twice(three dampened on how you want to classify it) in their life span. You are most likely thinking of older aircraft.

oh my bad
You’ll have to wait for the Eurofighter if all you care about is a british meta aircraft.
Until then the closest to getting something meta would be the canadian and australian Hornets or the south african Gripens.
There are three british built planes that are top tier material in an AMRAAM environment though, but they would still be niche. Those would be the Hawk 200, the Sea Harrier FA.2 and the Tornado F.3 CSP.
No falt to you. Almost every aircraft used by the RCAF before the CF18/188 was built in Canada so I can see why you thought that.
