I mean we are literally getting the Arjun some point next year
Yeah and hoo lee shii is it overdue
But as an air player it’s not really what I want, we’re yet to get a tech tree indian jet
Wonder if this means we will see stuff like the F16AM get its IRIS-T for ground and air targets or if it’ll just be limited to 4.5 gen fighters (does make me wonder if we will see new jets take those roles or if we will get pre-existing jets with those.
(Actual Gripen E pls snail, you screwed this one over enough)
Bruh more catering to Russia?

I suggested the EAP because “haha Smin hates it haha funny”, not because it is a future hint or something.
I do not wish for the Su-47, nor EAP, nor other similar things like the MiG 1.44 to come. I am still baffled at how the actual Su-47 suggestion passed though.
They are demonstrators, they were not armed (although allegedly the EAP did have tests, but I would need to see that again)

Su-47 and MiG-1.44 with the Yak-141 treatment would go kinda hard ngl.
Also Su-37 with R-27EA would be diabolical.

Please no the R-77-1 is already annoying enough to deal with
Don’t worry, the Su-33 will also end up with the EA’s too if they do come. Probably only push it up to 13.3 knowing Gaijin.

Cant believe the Su-27SM is a lower br then the F/A-18C/D Lates

US, Russia, and China are also the only nations to have independently developed and put into service a 5th generation fighter. So i think it’s well deserved

F22 is not going to get HMD right,?
I have no clue why they wouldn’t go for F-35s for every western nation instead of “4.5 Gen with better missiles”. There’s enough F-35 Lightning II international variants ingame to make sure every nation gets 5th gen aircraft in one update (with the exception of Germany, but they’re on order for 2026 deliveries iirc, so who knows maybe ready by the time 5th gen’s arrive)
United States of America:
🇺🇸 F-35A “Lightning II”
🇺🇸 F-35B “Lightning II”
🇺🇸 F-35C “Lightning II”
(Not like it needs them all, but listing them just bc)

🇮🇱🇯🇵🇺🇸?/🇸🇬 F-35B “Lightning II” (On order 2026?)
🇮🇱🇯🇵🇺🇸?/🇸🇬 F-35A “Lightning II” (On order 2030?)
(Delivery dates might have changed since I made this, or I might have gotten them wrong. I’m also pretty sure I have my ones listed as currently in service correct but may be wrong there as well given this was light research via google)
