Well, some key aircraft are still missing…
You got later Banshee variants such as F2H-3 and F2H-4
Sabre’s naval siblings, the later FJ-2 and FJ-3 aircraft (latter was able of using AIM-9Bs, being named FJ-3M)
The last of the standard Sabres, the F-86H (also capable of AIM-9Bs)
Similarly for later tiers, there’s F-8J (which should get 9G or even 9H)
and maybe early Navy Phantom like F-4B?
AJ didn’t set any rules, it is explicitly an exception due to no alternative.
Britain has a 12.0+ if they gave Tornado F3 AIM-9Ms already.
EJ Kai is 12.3 with 9Ms or AAM3s in comparison, BUT they’re clearly prepping F-15J for 12.3 - 12.7 instead.
F-14A however is plausible from the actual trials.
F-18G if the trials continue might be plausible.
Everything else really isn’t cause the BR’s they’d be already have rule-following alternatives, especially with Thailand looking to be Japan’s sub-tree.
Yes, I’m aware you’re joking; this is more to explain the reasons & behavior of Gaijin for anyone else.
UK doesn’t have any native fighters, Japan had a third gen fighter at a higher br than the Tornado is.
The circumstances are not perfectly comparable but it seems that any excuse not to give Britain something, is being used. YAK-141, intent for armament, AJ, Britain doesn’t need it they have a 4th gen.
In addition they could have waited until now and received the XF-2.
Yak-141, Kikka, Swift F7, etc are all non-service aircraft; so them having equipment that was intended for production but not on their prototypes is fine.
XF-2 requires more research and we still don’t have the BR for it in its most known configuration.
AH-64, T-80U, and Mi-28 were all trialed vehicles that Sweden considered for purchase.
F-16AJ in the pamphlet didn’t exist; granted we don’t have that F-16AJ either, we have a YF-16 that was shown off to Japan that they weren’t considering, but was a stand-in for the F-16AJ proposal.
Sea harrier FA.2, CF-18 i guess if the F-18 comes, and Hawk 200 are all options for top tier, and would be far better than a Tornado with Aim-9Ms and possibly AMRAAMS (especially considering in real life the tornados rails broke the Aim-9Ms for some reason)
