India P-8I can find and kill submarines and surface vessels.
If India were to also acquire mothballed S-3 Vikings then this would be even more of an advantage for India
so it isn't ramjet powered throughout the entire flight phase :coffee: mach 6 for what 30 seconds and coming down to mach 1/2 at the terminal phase . it's a big missile so that means it's easy to spot. F-35 would pick it up on DAS 150 KM out and focus the APG-81 knock it out..
if that...
genocidal regime, they aren't committing genocide. yeah dropping barrel bombs is abhoorent, but what can you do when you don't have a modern military with modern weapons like Turkey.

"cost and numbers advantage"? what would you think the cost would be? and how many ships do you think Pakistan can absorb?
India has the superior navy and air force as of now and the future, so I don't think 8 or even 16 of these would nullify that anytime soon.
why the change?? no Idea, but the F/A 18 E/F should only cost at $70 million each not $316 million
Kuwait deal ought to look like this
40 Super Hornets=$2.8 billion
spares,training, support 10 years= $1 billion
weapons package= $2 billion
I didn't go into detail what needs to be cut, but military spending is a start.

DoD cut=$-200 billion
Social Security =$-150 billion
Medicare= $-150 billion
U.S foreign aid= $-35 billion
raise taxes on...
1 high drag bomb=psychological warfare??
how about 2 Su-24 coming in at 200 foot above seal level dropping 6 of these each for 12, giving you only 5 seconds to react.
MQ-4C Triton makes missile boats a non factor against the USN.
MQ-4C finds the little buggers, and sends the data to the F/A-18 which is then armed with either Brimestone or SDB II knocks them out.
a democrat and first black President added more to the U.S debt than all previous Presidents combined :coffee:
Trump won't get back in the black, but he can at least get the debt under control.
this shouldn't be calculated per fighter. spares,weapons, and support is the main cost of any fighter acquisition.
pretty sure Australia bought 24 F/A 18 E/F for like $2 billion
