Saudi Arabia offers surplus F-5s for sale

You kidding

Why would we buy that. Only F-5 squadron operational is the 132th. FİLO "Turkish Stars". It is the aerial acrobatics squadron. Besides with 244 F-16 Block 50 + 116 F-35A/B + at least 100 TF-X...why would we buy that from Saudis.

They why not sell it to any good country. I have thought that All of the Typhoons from its operators should be given to ANAF (Afghanistan) along with training by buying 50+ Super Mushak, 50+ K-8s from PAC and 30+ AJT from Italy.

The only country which i think can have most benefit is Iraq. They don't have air force and it will give them good boost to having plus flying hours and experience

Throwing money away that is, old and not much capable aircraft, it's like buying MIG-21, far inferior (useless in 2014 ) for air-air combat and the air-ground capacity is small, SU-25 is better in that case as it's air-ground capacity and capability is much larger.

ANAF may benefit well from this.

I am sure KSA is going to produce JF-17 Block-II locally like Jordan-Egypt and may be Algeria-Libya will do that too.

Turkey should buy it and also from other countries too....

Then the PAF should grab these F-5s. They might even come for free.... @black-hawk_101.

If none of you guys want it just give them to me, I have a rodent problem that needs handling...I'm going to need some flying lessons though.
