Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up and Discussion (Part 1)

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

us Eurofighter when

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.

I mean in the F-35, of course

Again its just a thought, these are F18Es whereas canada used CF18s (F18C equivalent) and Australia used F18F/Gs

US doesn’t need it
I was just applying the logic
It’s really poor argument
Foreign pilots flying certain plane = that plane can go into nation which those pilots are from

Not entirely. Harrier, also the P.125 used a swivel nozzle. There’s a reason the US government immediately approached Rolls Royce when they decided they wanted a VTOL Variant of the F-35.
