tucano a cute
Pretty good history. Their planes are getting old though and the government keep fucking up the procurement process to replace them. It doesn't help that the state-owned media (basically Liberal Party propaganda) here is left-wing as fuck and constantly shits on the military.

Should we just ignore dead civilians if we kill them? Shit happens in war but its not like talking about it means Canadians have to hate the military. Use you brain instead of your emotions faggot.
>>74747425
>>74747425
We've bought f-35s but we don't really have them yet, so we have these f-16s instead.
>>74750243
>We've bought f-35s
Ah yes, sucking the big American dick like you always do.
>>74750372
Yes I guess we do, but it's the best (or one of the best if not the best) multirole airplane now, even with its flaws. We wanted multirole for nato missions.
Gripen is a shit plane btw, and you are only proud of it because it's yours, otherwise you would think of it as a shit plane like everyone else.
Does it count?
>>74750627
>Gripen is a shit plane btw
Based on what? Your government's "evaluation" where it made up numbers because it had already decided no what to buy but wanted to look like it wasn't an American puppet state? It was a complete farce and you know it.
Gripen is internationally recognized as capable plane in its category. It's true that it's not on par with the F-35, but that's not what it was designed to do. Just because you can spend billion and billions on a plane cramming it with the best of everything doesn't necessarily make it linearly better than if you hadn't. There's very much such a thing as marginal utility in the field of jet fighters.
>tfw your cunt has like 2 borrowed Grippens and thats it
czechia superpower by 2020
>>74751350
Not based on that, no.
Nevertheless. Our new multirole plane is also part of our plan for our new missiles. I don't agree with most of what our department of defence is doing nowadays, but choosing a multirole-plane (not necessarily f-35) that could use these missiles was the best choice long-term, with the money we are spending on the defence nowadays.
Choosing the multirole plane F-35 may have come down to sucking USA's cock, but frankly USA is the most important ally Norway has. Without USA we could not have relied on anyone to save us. I mean, I guess Sweden and Denmark would aid us, but you may not have the capability to do so. NATO is not really a great alliance, it's a bunch of countries that will use any excuse not to join a call to war. I don't like licking the balls of USA, but it's what you do in a prison full of people that will kill you.

I can never play on these threads because all the planes look the same to me. The only difference is that there's the ones that make prrrrrr and the other ones that make ffffffiiiuuuuu
>>74751772
You have 14 Gripen, 2 of which are the two seater D variant for training purposes. It's not really necessary to have more than that considering the size and shape of your country and the fact that you're surrounded by NATO and EU countries.
As I've understood it your pilots are very pleased with the Gripen and your government deemed that it was the most effective option available.

Norway use the same fighter as you do, you idiot.
>>74752262
so?
Not for export ;^)
>>74750627
Gripen does what it needs to do.
It is designed to be a effective weapon system, not a outstanding singular airplane.
Better to be able to afford more, have more time in the air, utilize short turn-around times and low ground crew requirements and use ad hoc runways.
Due to increasing effectiveness of the robots(missiles) and other weapon systems mounted on the plane, it was thought that having a plane that is reasonable capable was enough, since the extra performance from say a twin engine design is just not worth it.
Is it the correct assessment? Maybe, not an expert. It performances well enough in war games and suits the Swedish military.
>all these ameripuppets in this thread
>>74752336
The B2 is so cool. It really looks like something from a scifi movie.
please buy rafales
>>74752466
it's almost creepy to watch them fly, like you're seeing a UFO or something.
>>74752585
best looking plane on the planet imo
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zMP0ELRqs3Y
>>74752813
That's pretty cool. However, it's hard to capture the actual sounds of a jet flyby. It's far louder in real life and you can literally feel it in your body. Same with tanks and guns, videos just don't do them justice.
>>74753025
>However, it's hard to capture the actual sounds of a jet flyby
Yeah, I love this feel. I have been on the ILA a few times and it's always breathtaking.
>>74752747
Super Étendard are better looking IMO.
Specially on Argie Navy livery.
>>74752336
Wrong sweetie. B2 was offered to us.
>>74753120
yeah i don't like the nose and air intakes
and it look a bit too round to me i like sharper lines
i don't think the rafale got some fancy liveries apart from the tiger meet
>>74753448
I like "thin looking" fighther jets desu. Aerodynamics like an arrow.
I'm not so fond of "fat ones" like F-35, F-16 and others.
>>74747425
what is the top one. is it brasilian produced?
>>74753649
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMX_International_AMX
>>74753583
the f16 is rather thin
the mirage 2000 is rather nice too
>>74753291
actually hun, you're thinking of the F-117
>>74753939
Maybe.
But Mirages are rather nice as well.
>>74752393
I have no idea about military airplanes, but I think it's pretty badass that Sweden has developed their very own planes.

>>74754007

>>74755907
>F-22 in the back.
Why kill it? It can very well do the same shit as the 35.
Who else /tiltrotor/ here?
>>74755993
I have no idea man. I'd love for us to actually have a dual fleet of F-22's and F-35's. the F-35 is a better multirole aircraft but the Raptors abilities shouldn't be ignored either.
>>74756036
People like their Marines to come out of them alive.
>>74756101
F-35 is surely a great plane.
But with the F-22 around seems kinda pointless spending billions on another planes of the same "caliber".
>>74755993
F-22's air to ground capabilites are very limited
I miss these beauties
>>74756102
A little bit if risk and danger builds character
>>74756152
Agreed. I guess we can't spend even billions of dollars for jets that have a viable replacement
Fighter jets from the 60s and 70s are the best looking
>>74756380
Well, plane's great regardless.
Can we all agree that the SR-71 was one mean motherfucker?
One time during the Cold War an SR-71 had to make an emergency landing in Bodo, Norway. Read an article written by the pilot recently. Pretty interesting:

>>74754157
>I think it's pretty badass that Sweden has developed their very own planes
Truth is that America secretly helped us with certain technologies. They were more than happy to help if it meant that the soviets couldn't control more of the Baltic sea.
>>74757179
Isn't the whole engine of the Gripen american actually ?
>>74757396
It's essentially an upgraded version of the jet engine that was developed for the F/A-18. But the help we got was primarily during the cold war era and it was much less substantial (although not necessarily less important) than entire engines.
Pls buy.
I got a warning for posting a10 warthog and the sound it makes.

>Germany and Airbus Defense and Space are working on the initial stages of a new program to replace Berlin’s long-serving fleet of the Panavia Tornado bombers and complement the Luftwaffe’s Eurofighter Typhoon air superiority fighters.
>The Future Combat Air System (FCAS)—as the Bundeswehr program is called—would likely be a system of systems that combines manned and unmanned elements. According to a report in Jane’s, the Bundeswehr’s requirements are aiming for the FCAS to be operational in the 2030-2040 time frame. Thus, Airbus is focusing on the best technologies that would available for an aircraft that could be ready by then.

Amusingly i had a vision of the jacket of fallout while watching this pic.
>>74759589
I'm guessing there's some vital secret about the f-22 that can't be removed. Plus multirole fighters sell better
>>74759914
Sounds BS to me desu.
It's not "hard" to make a downgraded mltirole plane.

>FAA bought Texans insted of Super Tucanos
Why? ;_:
>>74763886
we still have the capabilities to manufacture simple turboprops, I don't even see why we had to import them, especially from the US, when we could either buy them from you or at least license the Tucano design, or even re start manufacturing the Pucará
they probably threw in a few spare parts into the deal or something. Or might be because our current government has tried to amend relationships with the burguers.
it baffles me just as much as you
>>74752585
Paint it black and we'll talk.
>>74764056
Read somewhere that FAA been suffering some severe cuts.
I'd go with Pucarás as well.
>>74764120
yeah, most of the government has had severe deficit at almost 5% the GDP for a few years now, and the current one is not so willing to finance it through taxes or money printing so a bunch of institutions had cuts
especially the military, wich makes some sense actually
we have no enemies, the only ones that seem wary of what we do with our military are the brits, and they get more pushy according to how much activity our military does, so ironically on our situation, cuting the military budget lowers foreign threats a little
also the reason why the modernization of our fleet was kicked forward so many times this last couple of decades
there're recent worries about narcos sneaking in hundreds of kilos of drugs in cesnas and the like through our lowly radarized, lowly restricted airspace tho
>>74764243
Doesn't make sense.
Fuck if the brits gets mad, your cunt needs to be defended from any type of threat.
