Austrian politicians. But they are mainly offensive lmao
The JSDF and IDF operate AMRAAMs, so OBVIOUSLY AMRAAMs are Defensive.
IDF is a offensive force too lmao. And the JDSF just have different views on it ig Austria and their politicians considered them offensive weaponry and thus were off limits.

Itโs the *IOF
Israeli offensive force
How are they mainly offensive? For any air to air missile you are claiming that you defend your airspace, if someone is coming to bomb you are you gonna wait to come to 20km to use the IRIS-T?
In the course of the Eurofighter procurement, the Austrian Armed Forcesto acquire AIM-120 AMRAAM missiles. However, the procurement was stopped by Defense Minister Gรผnther Platter in order to stay within the budget of 1.969 billion euros legally approved by parliament at the time.
The current 1.6 billion euro package for air surveillance as part of the โ2032+ recovery planโ could also include AMRAAM. The guided missile is an issue in connection with a potential Eurofighter upgrade, but could also be used to arm the planned future M-346FA jet trainer of the Austrian Armed Forces. in the future.

Names change. They stopped being purely defensive along time ago lmao
Tldr: they use AMRAAM, just not on the Eurofighter
Swiss f18 not Austrian but yea they have been changing as of recently again all the amraam talks are currently just speculation I donโt think itโs too far to assume theyโll change their military doctrine to allow for more offensive weaponry
Both small Germany :3
Mountain Germanys :3
Britain: Indian MiG-29UPG
Japan: Indonesia Su-30MK2
Israel: Greek F-16 variant or just another copy Israel F-16
Germany: idk
Italy: Romanian F-16
What about a double seater Mirage? (For Israel)
Maybe, but that would require some more effort probably which is not happening with these pack premiums
I would still rather have a F-15DJ
This might be a long shot but probably the potential Irish Gripens for Sweden (If we get them)

I didnโt mention Sweden, but given how underwhelming its current premium is, thereโs a good chance it could receive something else in the future.
They could add the Czech Air Force Gripen C
