I genuinely find it interesting that the US made the switch from the PW-229 to the GE-129 for the F-15.
The PW-229 was used for the F-16C Block 52, being the alternative to the GE-129 that’s in the Block 50.
The main differences are:
- PW-229 has worse AB thrust, but better non-AB thrust
- GE-129 has better AB thrust, but worse non-AB thrust
It basically comes down to whether you’re planning on using your AB more or less than not using your AB. I would argue in the context of combat, especially BVR, I would rather have the extra thrust with the AB than with non-AB.
I would expect something else today. Probably a boat.

I’m betting on HMS Cockchafer if it is a meme vehicle.
Eh, I think the thought process is more that -129 is going to become the “4th gen engine of choice”, so to speak going forward. Plus it might be easier to convert them to the -132 later on. The only reason they didn’t for the initial purchase was due to the acquisition method used, it would have taken too long from where they were with certifying the flight envelope.
Hope so as well.
Would finaly clarify if its the one with manpads or not

probs boat or plane today

F-5TH Super Tigris would be amazing!
Though I still think the F-2 should come first. We do not need the F-5TH yet. The F-2 would give Japan a competent and accurate Multirole aircraft (looking at you, F-16A OCU).

Thai Gripen E (photoshop made by SAAB themselve) 🤪, It is rumored that the Thai government will sign an order to purchase the Gripen E next month. If a deal is signed, it would be like a ‘yet to be delivered’ logic, like the Badger IFV.
This means, today we get an Ship…
Because Naval in just an meme since no one cares, since everyone just wants the big boats
Thailand looks so fun. F-5TH Super Tigris (Python 4s, Derby, AIM-9M, IRIS-T), another Alpha Jet upgrade, AT-6TH, F-16ADF/AM (MLU)/T-50TH. I think thats it for modern aircraft.
