The USMC philosophy is always different from the US Army. Marksmanship has always been emphasized in the USMC.

Pics of ANG F-15C taking off from PDX after being scrambled to intercept a Q400 turbo prop after it was stolen from SEA airport.
8 mins from alert to takeoff according to the photog. https://mobile.twitter.com/Sabian404/status...137639747051521 |

QUOTE(KLboy92 @ Aug 15 2018, 03:30 AM) F18 is IF Kuwait will sell their 2ndhand to us and US allows Boeing is aggressively trying to push the new variant F-15X. Offering fixed pricing cost etc.Gripen is my choice of new buy IF we want to avoid US*, but it costs about the same as F35A and F18SH too, $80-85m We will never get F15SE as America is not selling, it only has about 200 of the best current Eagle variant in USAF service 12 Gripen NG will cost approx $1.5 billion including weapons and support, aka Rm6 billion. That is the entire TUDM capex budget for 6 years. If we can ask for a 12-year loan that is realistic for our MRCA/MIG replacement. *Of course my real choice is to buy American, preferably F18SH, but politics... |
