Could also give them a F-16C/D Block 52+ from Singapore too. Would pretty much be the Sufa but without the Israeli weapons.
Honestly it might make more sense to instead of having multiple separate sub trees for Japan to just have ASEAN with Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, and also Singapore rather than it be spread out. Like BeNeLux but this time don’t make it 90% one nation.
@Danzig_A11 " Japan Tornado ADV refers to a proposed variant of the Panavia Tornado fighter jet that Japan considered in the 1980s to replace its F-1 fighter"
The Pakistani Oplot-M was a ompleted vehicle, trialed by Pakistan but not intended to be the Pakistani model even if adopted (since it was meant to base the Oplot-P design on the trial).
The Pakistani Oplot-P** was a completed prototype specifically for Pakistan, but lost to the VT-4.
The Thai Hornets won their competition, were bought, partially paid and started construction. The reason why it couldn’t have been cancelled and paid back to Thailand is that it was simply too far along already.
But they weren’t comlleted as Thai aircraft, and only four were completed in their intended configuration at all.
Personally I’d say it’s more reasonable than the Oplot-M for Pakistan, but less than the Oplot-P. But even aside from that I don’t think we’d ever have a chance to see it, which is why I’d really like my Malaysian cope Hornet substitute.
