Certainly would, no one likes long range missiles, lol.
Btw how did Ukraine get R77? Did russia sold them to Ukraine?
Ukraine produced original R-77 back in the day iirc

The Arsenal factory in Ukraine was responsible for assembling the seekers, and I think the end assembly of the missile.
Russia took technical documents for the seekers back to Russia with them during the collapse, but they struggled initially to get them off the ground. Ultimately, iirc, they redesigned the seeker and then started production in Russia. They were getting some subassemblies from Ukraine, but that began to dry up before 2014, and stopped obviously therein.
The one major batch of seekers Russia ever got from Ukraine went on missiles that Russia didn’t even trust to export, so they sat on a pile of otherwise good missiles out of distrust that the products worked.
Story is similar to the M-80M seeker-head for the R-73M and R-74, deliveries slow and then stop, and then Russia has to make yet another factory and start over almost from scratch to build what is now a better domestic seeker that can be found on all R-73/R-74 family missiles.

It’s part of the reason there’s such a pronounced lag for anything that wasn’t already 100% Russian held before the collapse that lasts from the mid 90’s, honestly up to the 2010’s. Since then, things have gotten better, but the lost time has been crucial imo.

Israel, China, Germany and Italy (HuAF & RoAF) received L-29 Delfín like Czechoslovakia tree

The bae bid wasn’t super serious unfortunately, didn’t even try to appeal the selection of Ajax. I imagine they where just busy with other, better paying programs
Yeah, We sold L-29 and L-39 to almost any country. BUT only some got a version that were capable of carrying any kind of ordinances. Lets look at Russian L-39. If i remember corretly, they got the pure training jet that is maximal capable of carrying 2x 7,6mm MG pods. Thats it. So if we would see Czechoslovakia TT in future, we would be able to see for instance L-39 NG that can carry Payway II, rockets and for air defense aim-9X and 12.7mm M3P or 20mm ZPL-20 Plamen
Map of nations that were using or are still using L-39 Albatro
Whilst that is true, however undeniably they have their domestic choices.
China: JL-8, JL-9 Shanying, JL-10/L-15, Italy: M-346 Master, MB-326, MB-339, Israel: M-346, Germany: Alpha Jet.
Russia can also choose the Yak-130.

Who knows about su24 in next major update?
As someone who doesnt care much for air. For me it is a resident sleeper
M1A2C, a new Bradley for top tier, CATTB, Partiot (optional), and the f16 Block 72
There’s no definitive proof or even a leak stating it’s coming.
There was a single screenshot, which could’ve been faked via a usermodel

Tbh one of the israel vautours was as french prem before israel got its tt
So… the update will have 40 vehicles.
Substracting the 19 vehicles from the leak list, that means there’s still 21 vehicles left, not to mention possible mechanics, graphics/sound updates (maybe even a new Dagor engine version if we are lucky), and model remasters/fixes.
There’s still hope for the update to have something appealing to me! Hahahahah. As of the leak list, there’s not really much of an appeal for me for now.
Well, unless the 21 remaining vehicles are that Hungarian air subtree.

While it was indeed removed, Israel never got their premium vautour. Considering how well the Su-25K is selling, it is most likely to be kept even after a CSLA/V4 TT to be introduced - were it to exist at all.
