They asked for canards, but canards have existed since work on the Su-27K began in 1986. The Su-27UB (twin seater) also originates around then as a prototype, and canards were tested on a UB prototype at one point as well.
AFAIK, they make cockpit glass, landing gear, canards, and other components now. They are generally responsible for sourcing whatever electronics they want that aren’t Russian in origin.
Canards are sexy.
Indeed, they are sexy
I see myself out *
Canards is French for Ducks
Stop! I can only get so erect!
Sehr gut.
Nice Japanese F-35 XD
Why would Sweden get it?
Finland
When did Finland buy them?
“Finnish Air Force – F-35A Block 4 selected via the HX Fighter Program 64 F-35As on order as of 2022.”
I’m looking now, and it’s planned to enter service in 2026, so Gaijin may decide to not add it if it comes before then.
We won’t be near that stage by then maybe 2028 we will get them in game
germanys supposed to receive them a whole year later as well
We’ll have to wait and see.
mhm it will depend on the aim-120 really as that will spring bored a ton of aircraft
Indeed. I have no doubt that it’ll come next update or next year’s March update, so if I’m correct, next year will see quite a few.
At least with F-35, external pylon stores will be unique.
While all nations will be forced to use LOAL and AMRAAM/Meteors in the internal bay, external stores can be AAM-3, AAM-5, Python 4/5, etc based on the host country in exchange for giving up some RCS.
Indigenous Japanese missiles would be very nice right about now.
