Is that a PAF F-16 in that painting with the F-15 punching out flares?????


One of the best memories and possible unique that I have is sitting in my suite of the four seasons hotel Kingdom Tower in Riyadh.. and watching RSAF hawks do a flyby BELOW me.. while I ate german franks, poached eggs with salmon and Creme Brulee for breakfast.

Here is a surprise to a lot of people here:

any guess about these mirages...? because as i know it RSAF never bought mirages.

We still need more planes to make a stronger air force.

Your Air Force equipment is currently on the advance side. You should agree RSAF should have ordered upgrades for F-15s alone rather then ordering more F-15s, RSAF should have demanded for F-35s or channel contacts towards BAE Typhoons the massive contact could have pressurized US to offer F-35s.

More planes? How many? What is the present available/Ready for combat strength of RSAF? Give number of Eurofighters,F-15s and Tornado too, if possible...If Israel invades KSA 8 hours from now,how many planes would RSAF have to fly & fight ! ?

We wanted the F-35 but the us would only sell us an extremely downgraded version. And put that with the time factor and the line order then it is a bad idea to get it. What is the point of getting the f-35 if israel still holds the advantage? But with upgradedf-15s and even in more numbers and we have flown it for decades so we know it's ins and outs it is a good idea.

Right NOW we have some 250+ f-15s ready for combat plus the 84 to come and all the existing f-15s will be upgraded to the new ones standards.
Tornados we have about 84+ that are being upgraded to the gr4 standard to make it the ultimate fighter bomber available.

Typhoons we have 72 on order with 24 delivered all of which eventually will be on the trench 3A standard.

So 250 f-15s some 84 tornados and 20 typhoons ready for combat RIGHT NOW. But it is still not enough to be the strongest air force in the region and you know who else in
S in our "region".

We need a light strike aircraft with cheap flying and maintenance costs. The Gripen and jf-17 is in consideration.
