QUOTE(pobox @ Jun 16 2025, 03:25 PM) Do we already have these in our assets? If no please don't buy We have eight two-seat F/A-18Ds that has been in operation since the 90s. Kuwait only has a few of the same type of plane, which we will get, but we will also get some (all?) of their F/A-18C single-seat plane, which will be somewhat new for us.

QUOTE(takbodoh722 @ Jun 16 2025, 04:02 PM) US Navy already got rid of theirs. US Marines are the only users and end date already set. Almost every other user already in process of getting replacement planes. Kuwait Hornets were built from 1991-1993 ie 32-34 years old. How many more years RMAF want to use? Old planes will crash more often. Until mid-to-late 2030s, or until we get MRCA to replace all the Hornets and Sukhois.
