freindly lol. They tried playing us again in the f-15 like they did with the mirage. They thought we cancelled the su-35 deal and canclled EX plans and replaced them with F-15s from the 90s.
IKR. TR did say that the F-15 offered were "advanced", so not sure they were from the 90s lool that would be even more ridiculous, like adding insult to injury, especially if Egypt had to pay for them instead of being part of the aid package. That's what irks me even more about the US and its mistrust of Egypt. This is more of an insult than anything else. Now I think the response should be a big fat middle finger instead of kicking rocks and pounding sand. It's brutally offensive.
The US or the UK are not freindly nations at all with all shit theyve tried with us Since sadat Trust cannot be rebuilt and i beleive relying on them for offensive mega deals is just a bad habit and unadvisable.
Yep. This is a huge obstacle in the way of purchasing the Typhoons. We'll have to see how much independence Italy has from the UK and Germany and probably Spain, too. Just because they have other projects and deals with us doesn't mean they can't be influenced by Uncle Sam and the UK AND Germany.
Then the su-35 photos came in as if they were coordinated and now the typhoon deal is finished.
You think the Typhoon deal is finished? Heck I hope so, and I truly hope it's with the meteor man that would really be something. The IRIS-T short range missile is also very impressive, along with the Brimstones and the fact that it can carry GBU ordinances of all types and sizes. It really is a beastmode and what makes it even greater is its probably compatibility with the Rafales. I had this debate with another member here a few years ago when the mega deal was announced and I said that I bet the Rafale pilots could easily fly the Typhoon and vice versa. He said they would need complete retraining because the stick is in the middle on the Typhoon while it's on the side in the Rafale, like the F-16 lol! I told him no way, it's only a matter of understanding where the controls and switches for all the systems are and familiarizing themselves with the differences in how the systems appear on either the lighting of the buttons/switches, any of the multi function display screens or head-up-display.
Rafale
Typhoon
@Philip the Arab , speaking of UAE block 60, not often seen in one pic is 20 blocks in between these two fighters.
