My goodness, only Russians are crazy enough to wage war in the middle of the Russian winter season!

well Marhalim Abas said this just marketing gimmick ... it still Super Hornet.

for my view it have pros and cons. and going to end production in 2016~2020, depend order ...
this should be last version F-18, call F-18 ASH (F18 SH block3), went we buy it, after 15 year later (2030+) during mid life upgrade maybe we no have upgrade packages or need pay boeing for RnD for technology upgrade.
will most of F18 user like US and Australia, they mostly using F18 SH (block2) they will get enhance version during 2020-2022 for mid life upgrade than use until end of life.

for as we can try to find 2nd hand from US navy F18 EF then upgrade to Block 2/3 spec so can use until 2030 like current F18D after mid life upgrade。
If still want to get F18 ASH, good to buy 8~10 unit for Butterworth AB to form a full F-18 squadron. than other squadron in Labuan AB.

Yeah get second hand SH i happy ady, 36+ units

As quote by KYPMbangi, beggar kenot be chooser

Winter is the best time for Donetsk militia to gain some ground. Most likely, the Ukrainian troops hunkered down in their winter defensive position.

US navy will not give ya because they dun have spare.
mainly they need jets and they have their hand tied with the crappy f35 they did try to buy additional sh butit is not easy.
flight hour on the airframes of the us navy hornet and sh is running out fast.

If in good condition the armed force will gladly accept it.
a lesson learn from the past the reason y maf cautious on buying second hand stuff.

Youtube vid of the trainer crash, looks like they doing an acrobatic manoeuvre but pilot failed to recover the plane from a roll..

Mig29?

Mig29 is not secondhand, but they are off-the-shelf stock, ady built when we order it

i tot psc-nd already licence produce L118 gun?

still,cant beat oto melara in term of transpotability. where to find 105m gun that can be disassembled into 11 pieces and reassemble in a matter of minutes?

Them Skyhawks.

Yup skyhawks.
rumors said those skyhawks was in terrible conditions and takes lots of money to refurbished.
Anyway before we received all 88units suddenly reagents administration ban on sales thuse we received only 40units.
