Because it's poor military policy to immediately cancel a significant process that's been going on since 2010 is finally getting done. With how awfully slow our defense procurement process is it would inevitably be a disaster to try to snap switch to anything else.

Just constantly seeing people propose this shit blindly as if it didn't take us 15 years of procurement nonsense to get here. We cannot be going through that again with the Gripen.

That is a lot worse than I imagined it was. Awful.

Same here, I was expecting the other type of goon.

This would make the most sense.

The second I saw the pitch I knew it was coming, he's just so good.

Legit one of the few accounts that people will straight up warn not to argue with (That was the funniest one.) and they still try it.

-(MRTT) Do have refuelling booms and so did earlier versions of the Voyager so I doubt there're any questions about the ability of refitting them back in but yeah. Of course, double check with other sources since I'm no expert either.

For the latter. I have no clue and will avoid speculating so I don't end up embarrassing myself. As for the former. I've heard 9-18 months (Knowing western countries and military procurement, probably longer.) but that was from osint on Twitter so take it with some salt. Aircraft in the same family-

Nothing with the Israeli aircraft that's for sure. It doesn't have the refuelling booms to interact with them.

No, that's impossible, the RAF only uses the drouge-probe refuelling method, completely incompatible with the Israel aircraft which all require refuelling boom-equipped tankers. Know what information you're consuming about before you regurgitate it.

It was actually. youtu.be/aj7RJxUIs3I?...

Right wing? Curtiss literally ran with the NDP are you delusional?

I've always struggled with coming up with Alien stuff that isn't repackaged humans so this will probably help a lot.

Looks like you missed out on easy compensation.
