According to this guy, Tunisian had back down on the Kuwaiti hornet acquisition few days before. Is it true?

If it's true, can we get all 28, add to our 8 and get 36. Enough for 2 full squadron


It seem earlier report that Kuwaiti super hornet being delayed to 2025 isn't true at all. The super hornet are ready and the legacy hornet can be retired.

Boeing completes Super Hornet deliveries for Kuwait
by Gareth Jennings

Boeing has completed delivery of 28 F/A-18E/F Super Hornet combat aircraft for Kuwait, transferring them to the US Navy (USN) ahead of their eventual handover to the customer.

The manufacturer announced the event on 2 September, posting a video of single-seat aircraft 822 departing its St Louis production facility in Missouri.

With Kuwait's 22 single-seat F/A-18Es and six twin-seat F/A-18Fs being contracted in a government-to-government deal, they have all been handed over to USN ahead of their expected transfer to the Kuwait Air Force (KAF) in the coming months (a precise timeline has not been disclosed). As previously reported by Janes, this delivery milestone was delayed slightly due to the effect of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Wanna hope so but don't wanna hold my breath for it.

Also, hopefully this won't make the govt to be even more complacent with future procurement.

Yeah but they don't use it much. So it's got 10 -15 more years of flying left.

Buy in bulk lah. Can get discount.

36 T7 + 28 retrofitted hornet from Boeing for a total of 64 jet.

Terus our AF get 90 jet.

Can be 2nd strongest in ASEAN.

The easiest n fastest way to boost our military is to get these jets. Also arming the Kedahs.

Knowing how the leadership working. Buying used American jets how to earn commission ?

The formula is not right. Chances are low.
