What's new

Tempest aircraft next generation fighter is an copycat J-20 or MiG-1.44 ?

UK can make a jet on its own but the question is will US let it, they will be losing possible sales of a current or a future platform. They have BAE and RR.

America had no power to stop Britain making Lightning and Jaguar and Tornado and Typhoon. What makes you think America has power to stop Britain making Tempest? I think they cannot. Britain is not Canada. Britain is an old school world power.
 
You keep changing your stance on Britain, first you say we are broke and have no technical prowess and now this? Are you a LOTA?

Did I say Britain is broke? It sure as hell is broke. Britain today is not Britain 40 years ago. So many third worlders. So much welfare. Britain has very limited defense budget. Making a 5th gen jet is near impossible for Britain to do alone.

And what empirical information do you have to support this theory of yours?

It sure as hell is broke.
That is rich coming from a Canadian!

So many third worlders
You mean developing nations? No such thing as 3rd world!

So much welfare.
Again rich coming from a Canadian! There are literally thousands of Canadian families living in Poverty in Canada.

Do you even know why Britian has a welfare system? Google the term English laws of less eligibility.

Britain has very limited defense budget

Our Budget is twice that of Canada!!!!
Canada Defense budget is $20.6 billion the UK's is $47.2 billion.

You can't spend all that on defense. Hell. Britain used to have the world's best navy. Rule Britania. Britainia rules the waves. Now Britain only has 1 small aircraft carrier.

Wrong again...

Britain operates three Naval attack carriers HMS Ocean, HMS Argus, HMS Bulwark. HMS Queen Elizabeth is the 3rd Largest aircraft carrier in the world, larger than the The Admiral Kuznetsov:

I don't count amphibious assault ships as aircraft carriers. So only 1. According to wiki.

  2. Queen Elizabeth Class x 1 (Sea Trials)
  3. Type 26 Frigate x 13
  4. Trident Class Submarines x 8
  5. Triumph Class stealth SSBN x 1
  6. All Sea Kings fitted with Crows Net system
  7. River Class x 5

1 aircraft carrier. 2 planned.

And now you have run out of intelligent things to say so just rebuke with 1 line? That shows you need to educate yourself on British defense topics before commenting like this, it makes you sound silly!

Why don't you go ask the Britain defense secretary how many aircraft carriers Britain navy has and stop arguing with me like a mad man?

I don't need to ask anyone, I have served as a Solider in the British Army reserves! So I know a bit more about our defense infrastructure then some random chaval on the internet. :)

You are calling amphibious assault ships aircraft carriers. No they aren't. Or else Mistral, Ivan Gren, Type 071, Izumo are all aircraft carries. They aren't. Hell. Just about every warship these days carry aircraft. Don't make them aircraft carriers.
