Reply With QuoteNew Zealander eh? Why not buy a nice cheap replacement like the Gripen?
5 C130Hs, 6 P-3K Orions, 14 Iroquois, 2 757-200s and some A4 Skyhawks "up on blocks" and waiting for sale. Oh wait, that is our Airforce!
New Zealander eh? Why not buy a nice cheap replacement like the Gripen?
Well friends why dont we decide on some budget and then frame an air force. If there was no constraint on how much we can spend There would have been missiles being fired from American Space sattlites... just kidding....
I propose a budget of 50 B$ for complet procurement of Fighters air bases and missiles etc.. What do ya say will be good in such a scenario ?
here we go!!
F-22 - 500
A-110 - 200
B-2 - 200
KC-135 Extender - 50
E-767 AWACS - 50
It might be nice to have the Gripen but we don't really want to kill anyone that much. We had the Skyhawks for decades and never tried to kill anyone with them (although we did scare a Korean vessel fishing illegally in our waters by firing across their bow!) Anyway, our fighter pilots seem to all have found work with the Aussie/ English or other friendly nations airforces.
many of you put C-5 Galaxy into top picks.....
be aware that the jet is out of production more than a decade since 1990...... to resume their production you would need to order 20-30 jets - that is hardly possible
so if you want anything like this you would need to order An-124, which has slightly higher capacity and cheaper operating cost
Because I like the A-10:
500 A-10s
400 JSFs
100 assorted other aircraft that im way to lazy to name.

Same goes for th "good" men

Where's the bloody gin? An army marches on its liver, not its ruddy stomach.
why is C5 not being produced any longer?
What the **** are those for?!
I'm guessing they're there to divert attention away from the aircraft that have been produced in the last 50 years.
Strike:600
250x Typhoon (omnirole)
100x F-22 Raptor (air dominance)
100x GR4 Tornado (tac recce/strike)
75x Tu-160 Blackjack (heavy bomber)
25x B-2 Spirit (stealth bomber)
Tactical support:180
70x Merlin
40x A330-200 (tanker)
30x Chinook
20x Nimrod Mra.4 (anti-naval)
10x E-3 Sentry (AWACS)
5x U-2 Dragon Lady(recon/BDA)
5x ASTOR (E-8 maybe?) (tac AWACS)
Transport:120
65x C-130 Hercules
20x A340
15x C-17 Globemaster
10x An-124 Condor
10x random assorted transport (vip stuff etc..)
75x Aermacchi M-346 trainers.
other assorted trainers.
I would go for
200 f-22
150 Su 30MKI
72 MiG 31
120 Su 25 upgraded
100 B-52s
100 B2s
36 Phalcons AWACS
24 Predator UAVs
36 AP-3C Orion
40 IL 78 tankers
60 AH-64
40 Mi 17
20 CH-47
50 Hawk trainers
As this is a theoretical airforce, i think RUs-US combo is allowed.
Touché, but you are 34 over
Why dosen't the RNZAF buy some Hawk-200s or some AMX-As, and they could buy the training version of either aircraft as well. Then you'd at least have SOMETHING that can fight. And they'd be damn cheap too.
