Then probably the Mig-35, the others will be fine I guess

Where Eurofighter Tranche 3 with CAPTOR-E? ))))

That thing won’t be DOA for a looong while even though it should be added.
Aside from the MiG and Super Hornet I think the others might as well not be on that list.
F-16 Block 70

Tranche 4 is the first to get the E-Scan in the production standard
the Mig-35 will already be DOA
and the Superhornet will be generally worse than the normal one, worse TWR and worse acceleration
only thing it has is even more missiles

You ever heared of Upgrades?
Wouldn’t be so sure about that. We had fast (Scorpion speed) and slow (Scorpion muzzle velocity)

I’ve heard of none within my German airforce
well none regarding the E-scan because it’s not exactly plug and play, even for Aircraft standards
Another coastal nation will get it’s third line right?
Nah. Thats asking for too much, so is the UV filter for the EFT. Gotta wait until at least 2026 maybe even 2027 for that.
Gripen NG and J-10C are needed as a priority as neither nation really have a top tier aircraft.

E Gripen with Meteor maybe?
OR
E Gripen with Iris to have the next Tech leap be an IR one
Im guessing NG will be Aim-9M and Bs/C5s with Gripen E getting IRIS-T and maybe something else, with then maybe getting the Meteor in the future. A bit like im expecting another Typhoon after the current set, even though the current set can be largely upgraded indefinetly
you raise a good point!
Could even be Scorpion 76 (Slow mv) & Scorpion 90 (fast mv)

J-10C is in a weird spot. It’s either going to be ok-ish/DOA if it’s just added with the same armaments as the J-10A but extremely strong if added with PL-15’s like it’s supposed to have
My guess, it will be added with the same laodout, but get a better loadout later in the year. Probably an IR upgrade though and not an ARH upgrade. Though PL-12 does just fine imo
PL-10 is too OP for now unless other nations get similar missiles
