Re: Embraer KC-390 News and Discussion Thread

There will be a decision in 2024, it's between LM and Embraer. Some favor the jet and some the props. In general, it is very hard to find any info on this matter, but you read a lot more of the C-390 in this regard than the C130j....." only 4" seems a bit low, but compared to the old C130H...

Re: Thai government okays buying 4 new fighters

Gripen C or even E should be the most logical choice here. You don't order 4! of a new type!, especially the F-35. Different if they ordered 20-30 to replace the F-16.

You would think that they have approx 20 years of service left within them and probably attractive to some airforces, perhaps including my own (Sweden) but as said earlier, we don´t know the actual status of them for now.
