What makes you think they're going to share them to 2 or even 3 countries? Just intuition or you have another reason?
It has actually already received 20 in country!? That's excellent news mabrouk ya basha.
$1 billion in just the weapons package. Makes you wonder what other goodies are in a major package like that.
Well. that's essentially the great planning of the "tranche" concept that the 4 countries came up with. Most of the let's say additional improvements or better capabilities in the tranche 3 or later models can be upgraded into the previous ones. I don't think the tranche 1 can get too many new goodies, but the 2 and on were specifically planned that way. Part of the engineering of such advanced technology are things like that which are not easy. I believe that they started to plan that concept in sincerity for the T2 and on and that really is one of the many GREAT features of the Eurofighter Typhoon.
All of those features you mentioned should all be standard from now on, on all the new ordered RSAF Typhoons.
I probably confused the current 73 for the new order.
Hey, even if the 48 are currently stalled, let them sweat it out because if they want the sale from a customer like Saudiya, they'll have to give more than they're normally willing to from countries that have the strongest purchase power such as SA. They're doing it right.
Heck, in one of those Military Squares videos you posted on the EAF thread, the dude talked about the latest details of the mega deal with Italy and the latest issue with the 24 Typhoons was how proud he was that the Egyptian negotiators on that tremendous deal that's probably going to end up being somewhere around $12 billion lmaoooo is that they were able to talk the Italians down on the EFTs from 300 million Euros to 200 million a piece. A7a khomsomeet marra! Imagine they actually wanted 300 million euros for a single Typhoon in a huge military package that included the 4 terrific Bergamini FREMs etc.? These numbers are out of control, bro and I need to do the match on this Saudi deal to determine how much they're paying per aircraft just to see if the 200 million Euros Egypt seems to be happy to pay is really a good deal or are we still getting shanked? I think it's still the latter, unfortunately simply because when you look at the Rafale (we can't bring the Gripen into this conversation for several reasons) you're looking at what, $120 - $150 per aircraft? That, or maybe just a little more on the EFT would be acceptable. But when you're talking about an additional $50-$80 million per, something is not right. And we do know already that the weapons package is actually separate from that so.......
What deal? You're thinking about the possible Egyptian EFT deal? I was a bit confused since SC was talking about the RSAF's Typhoons, not Egypt's. Besides, even Saudiya is a relatively new customer of the AIM-120. Only in November of 2021 did it get congressional approval for the AMRAAM BUT, it got pretty much the 2nd best in the C-7 and C-8s and 280 of them on top of that lol. I think only the EX (Extended Range) is considered better. Good for them 3obalna a7na InshaAllah.
What a great capture that was. Even though most of those low-flying cruise missiles (even the US' Tomahawk flies at the same speed or even slower until it approaches its target, then it just goes up to mach 4 I believe as it moves quickly to a higher altitude to be able to slam downward.
Usually, though, we don't hardly ever see any interceptions of this or any other kind. Usually, it's someone getting one flying by on his phone or seeing it hit a target or even helicopters I remember seeing a lot of those in the early part of the Syrian war. But to see one like this, here, and knowing it's the IRIS-T-SLM which we also know Egypt has purchased what, 8 systems of these 2 years ago? Ya3ni the fact that they knew about how good the system was and were able to acquire them from a country that is basically a stooge to the Jews who control them (or maybe used to but not anymore) and made the deal. I remember we were talking about them telling ourselves "what the heck are they doing? They already have all the short range BUKs and TORs and SA-6s and the medium range S-300VM and a few other goodies why add this system?! lol Who was it that said whoever is in charge of purchasing new systems is really good at it? Was that you?
Walahi mazbout awi.
