F-2 with ASM-3?
F-2 with AAM-4B
JDAM and LJDAM on F-2
Not an ARM.
Wont make it that better, besides being limited to just four of them still.
Neither are IR guided FnF…

You call a rafale diversity ?
They will have a proper 14.7 sure, but nothing new. Wont replace the su30mkm in grb.
doesnt it have a secondary ARM capability?
still 13.7+ for sure. they could add it with AAM-5 too whenever next gen IR come
you said PGM, not IR guided FnF. not every country is going to have every single type of weapon
also, they can just do Japan F-35A/B which would likely end up getting the full a2g arsenal anyways.
It’s going to just be the Cobi F-22 set but with Japanese roundel stickers slapped on and peeling off just watch.

It’s just that when people go “X nation doesn’t need Y tech” is what they’re atcually saying is “I just don’t want that X nation getting it because I don’t like X getting Y’s equipment” and that in itself just boils down to personal bias imo

at least it is actually used by Japan operationally, beats Gripen, Su-30, F-16, etc.
Britain. Israel in the future.
China for now.
Yeah and none of them need more for air until 5th gen

Ignoring china lacking air top tier capabilities just show me how ignorant you can be on the subject.
would be a pretty big stretch though, there is no reason for the UK to get any of those jets
I can go into exact details for each tree.
Diversity is not a problem. The larpers of copy paste that is wasting this great idea.
What you want me to list the problems with Chinas air? I could but then we get into the other aforementioned air nations mains crying about their needs. I can’t pick a favorite it’s either all or nothing. I know all too well that Chinas got a lot of problems J15T and J10C are all sorts of borked but again if we start going into specifics then it’s gonna be everyone screaming about their small problems too
Imo id rather china actually get domestic air vehicles correctly implemented over them getting a US export model
Well ground Jordan is extremely close to Britain so eh
I was going to make a joke there but stopped myself lol
