ISIS has released drone footage of knocked-out Turkish Leopard 2A4 tanks, M60T Sabra, Cobra armored vehicle, and ACV-15 IFV.
The equipment were damage near Syria’s northern town of Al-Bab.

So that is considered bad, right? Since earlier all speculated Rafale might be coming to MY.
*
if we really need the new fighter now, gripen is a sensible choice considering our budget

rafale is too expensive....for 18 gripen price,we can only get around 12 rafale...
and the operating cost for gripen is definitely lower...it is a single seater and single engine fighter...
capabilities wise, i would say that gripen is about 90-95% of rafale

i still in favor for more SU30..
*
2nd batch of su30 is one of my prefer choice. another one is trade-in hornet for super hornet....

btw, i believe the main issue with russian jets is after sales support... and russia is currently sanctioned by us/nato/eu. we definitely dont want to be chided by these big powers.. another thing is mh17 issue

Its to replace the aging M29, how come trade in hornet ?
*
to simplify the logistic support( supply,maintenance,training)...having 3 type of different main fighter is a nightmare in term of logistic...

imo, we shiuld only have 2 type of fighters

1- main fighter - Su30mkm

2. advanced trainer / LIFT / Light combat jet(same type but different variance such as hawk,m346 or KAI t50/ta50/fa50

Ex-pakistanis usually serve in air force,not sure about the navy. And most of mercenaries usually came from Latin America

I'm aware of said decision, but the fact remains that such a proposal existed despite the practically of said proposal being seemingly obvious.. thus the comparison with the alleged Su-25 (a dedicated CAS aircraft) replacement by a trainer.

there's definitely some factor/intel/politics that as the public we're not privy to, but besides the increased prevalence of COIN/LIC operations I can't fathom their rationale.

EDIT: found a related article from 2012. In it, the planned Yak-130 derived light attack plane never materialized. a SU-25 replacement is in the works but it's implied that it's a new design and not be from a Yak-130

its been done before.... dassault/dornier alpha jet,saab 105,korean t50/ta50/fa50 and even malaysia have hawk 200 series(combat variant of the aircraft)

but none of them are of the same calibre or even of the same role as the SU-25! these examples are certainly light multirole aircraft that just happen to be able to be equipped as an attack plane. the SU-25 on the other hand is a dedicated CAS aircraft, and no matter how you cut it, any trainer derived attack aircraft will not have the endurance, armour or payload of a dedicated design..
