NoSo no aster then.....
The plan for 32 Vipers still on going despite they will go through some batch. The thing is unclear about F-5 replacementi heard that we get less viper but more quantity for the F-5 replacement (su-35 , Rafale) is that right ?
Yes in that sense of government spending it would be more interesting and reasonable that we're being part of F-16 & hopefully F-35 chain of suppliesWorth noting that Thailand wasn't considered as MNNA until the early 2000s. Also, it wasn't RAAF pilot that reached 1000 hours, but rather the RAAF's airframe (A35-001)
Well MBDA produced Aster and CAMM too, although realistically it will probably be MICA with either Aster 15 or 30 (most probably Aster 15)
What I find laughable is that most people expecting KFX to turn out like the CN-235 project when Indonesia only contribute 20% to the whole KFX project.
If we're getting Mk.41 most likely we will get ESSM which is a great boost to our naval air defence but then rumour as spread we're getting MICA instead however in bigger quantity than those of PKRWould make sense on why they went for the Mk 41 if it mentions the SM-3. The Aster isn't really an ABM designed missile.
