re: Latest Updates: Russia-Ukraine Conflict

It’s even bigger than that picture gives it justice. Like the size of a mini submarine. That’s why I said it would be better to use their Su-27s to carry them if/when they come. The Brits have some of the oldest typhoons out there as you mentioned but in that same context so do the Dutch with their f-16s. Some of their airframes were built in the early 80s, older than some of their pilots. They are retiring these first and would be the airframes most likely to go to Ukraine. Of course they have been updated every now and then with new avionics, radar, etc but there’s still a lot of hours on the airframes themselves. We have many already in the boneyard built after some of the Dutch f-16s still active.
