Finns going to buy 64 F-35A

Do we really need 36 LCA?

How bout just buy 12 like sinki the just buy a MRCA next MP

I don't think the SAF are buying just 12 in total, that's just their initial buy.

Combat jet aircraft require a lot of maintenance especially something like the F-35 stuffed with stealth and electronics. With 12 aircraft, you'd have very few aircraft available for operations - basically only 2 or 3 at any moment of the day.

No i mean they just buy 12 m346.

What the purpose of buying 36 to 54 LCA.

No i mean they just buy 12 m346.

What the purpose of buying 36 to 54 LCA.

lmao

they buy the trainer version for training only. we buy trainer and LCA version for training and combat.

It may not be just 12. Sg typically buys equipment in small batches and it is not known to disclose its military purchases or rather they just dont talk about it and military enthusiasts find out by themselves.

I think they initially bought only 8 f15SGs. Now, it is confirmed that they have at least 40 F15SGs (Boeing gave civilian production numbers to some of them prior to transfer to RSAF - likely because Sg want it that way). But keen observers note that F15Sg serial numbers 8373 and 8378 have been sighted i.e. the ostensible 73rd and 78th F15SGs. My guess is that they have bought 80 F15SGs in total over the years.

It does add up considering the F15Sgs replaced some (if not all) of the 60+ Super Skyhawks and 49-50 F 5 S/Ts. The remainder will be replaced by F35s which will also replace the F16Vs.

On how many F35s they want, see what they (SG) told the F35 programme office  - up to 100 F35s:

Pretty much doubt it.
Doesn't seem anyone is replace their F15 with F35.

Which mean we would fly it slow & low
Some of it would crash.

Which beg the question why not just let the army took  are of it with an actual attack heli?

Thats not what i wrote. The F15Sgs replaced some or all of the Super Skyhawks and F5 S/Ts see my post.

The RSAF also bought 6 MRTTs (so far) to replace 4 KC 135Rs. Connect the dots...more and bigger tankers because of more air frames (now and/or in the future).

It seems they maintain more or less around 100 jet.
So i doubt they eventually bought 100 f35
Most country are currently reducing it's f35 committed number
Probably around 60 only while the F15 would be replaced by another air superiority platforms?

because jet is jet, heli is heli; both have different advantages and disadvantages

helis are crazy fragile, as both the USSR and USA have found out. in Afghanistan, the mujahideen shot down Hinds and Hips with machine guns. in Iraq, the USA famously lost dozens of Apaches damaged and some destroyed.

the advantage of combat air support using jets is that they are MUCH less vulnerable, can sometimes react faster, and in some cases carry heavier payloads. consider; an attack helicopter can only carry rocket pods and an autocannon, while combat jets can carry that and/or at least a couple of heavy bombs that can hit harder than anything a helicopter can do

case in point:
