As an example, the Northrop Corporation financed & already built the F-20 Tigershark demonstration aircraft w/c our government can enter into negotiation to manufacture it in the Philippines for 300 F-20s within 12 years which will probably entice Northrop to agree to. F-20 was the other competitor for the US FX program which lost to F-16 due to politicking but was a better fighter aircraft than the F-16. I think the F-18 Hornet was designed and derived from the Northrop F-20/YF-17.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14191594135290807602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838050795464426329.post-39580437445351198652014-11-04T11:25:41.039+11:002014-11-04T11:25:41.039+11:00not F-5 but T-38 talon...not F-5 but T-38 talon...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838050795464426329.post-41655691982145268932014-11-04T06:36:49.269+11:002014-11-04T06:36:49.269+11:001.

It is not impossible to ask for the same deal again, but as of today, no such deal has been agreed. Please do not assume that PAF will get F-5 for free or near free until and unless there is verified news. Keep in mind also that the F-5 needs to be refurbished and upgraded too, and this will cost money and time. Your "free" is not actually free.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838050795464426329.post-29520316242867205212014-11-04T06:13:55.423+11:002014-11-04T06:13:55.423+11:00Roberts Roberts, please believe me when I say that...Roberts Roberts, please believe me when I say that both DND and PAF know that FA-50 is a lead-in fighter-trainer, not an MRF. And yes, depending on the upgrades, an upgraded F-5 or Kfir might be able to destroy an FA-50. I am sure PAF is aware of that too. FA-50 doesn't have BVR capability yet while some upgraded Kfir and F-5 may have that capability depending on configuration.<br /><br />However, the decision to go for the Golden Eagle over Kfir is correct. The capability gap between the S-211 and a modern MRF is big. You can force cadets to clear that hurdle, but the wash-out rate will be big. Given the high cost of training pilots, wash-outs cost a lot of money. Plus there is a considerable risk to the pilot trainee, the instructor, and the aircraft in question. A lead-in fighter-trainer is intended to bridge that gap.<br /><br />Compounding the problem is the fact that PAF supposedly has only four flight-worthy S-211. Read MaxDefense's relatively recent blog on the S-211. There's a plan on restoring two more. That's six total.<br /><br />You talk of getting 24 upgraded F-5 or Kfir. If they are obtained in addition of the Golden Eagles, that's great. They'll make a nice stopgap measure, assuming the price is low enough. But if you mean getting them instead of the Golden Eagles, that's dumb. Where are you going to get the pilots for them? A fighter jet without a pilot is so much useless junk.<br /><br />PAF foresaw the training problem as early as 2010. At least that's when PAF Chief Lt. Gen. Oscar Rabena publicly asked for a lead-in fighter trainer in an interview. They may have foresaw it even earlier still and quietly asked GMA but who knows. This is why they went for the Golden Eagles. Because this way they get a LIFT and a light fighter and in numbers sufficient to train new pilots for future expansion.<br /><br />Tone down the self-righteous anger, man. If you want the MRF faster, tell your congressman that the country needs a bigger defense budget and to stop stonewalling the issue. That's where the hold-up is. The global defense budget average is 2.4% GDP. The Philippine defense budget is consistently 1% GDP or less. If one consistently spend less than the rest of the world, is it any wonder that one gets left behind? So if you want to get angry, go get angry at the folks deciding the budget, not at the DND or PAF who's doing their best given what they're given.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838050795464426329.post-2176134684352654632014-11-04T00:58:18.339+11:002014-11-04T00:58:18.339+11:00Sorry, it does follow that way Buff52.
