That the f18 model A, A+ and C will come to the game is a fact and just a matter of time, but which nations and sub-trees will be able to receive the F18 and which aircraft will rival it?
USA will receive all the 3 models (a,a+ and c ).
Germany will receive a swiss f18 C .
Italy or France or both can receive a spanish f18 A+ and EF 18 C.
Brits can receive a Canedian CF18 A and Australians F18 A+.
Israel can receive kuwait f18C.
Sweden can receive finnish f18C.
Japan can receive a malaysian F18D.
Experimental aircraft that could rival.
France with Rafale A built a technology demonstrator in 1986 .
Brits with BEA EAP technology demonstrator built in 1986 too.
Excellent acquisitions pre rafale C and pre eurofighter.
China and Russia.
China could receive Taiwanese F-CK-1 and J15 first variant (flanker-X2).
Russia could receive Su33 l, Mig29K and Su30
any ideas about aircraft, varient or subtrees that can balance power between all nations with the addition of the f18?
