We like really big numbers. They are the best. Way better than small numbers.Happy with any of those numbers, guessing many others would agree, other than the braindead MAGA losers.

Is that big numbers to compensate for small hands? Asking for a friend.We like really big numbers. They are the best. Way better than small numbers.
It is the times we are in. Technological advancements and our strategic environment are evolving so quickly that a piece of military hardware can almost be rendered obsolete before it even comes off the production line.It looks like the technology is changing rapidly as they are funding upgrade equipment before the aircraft are delivered to the RAAF. 10 Sqn has been waiting a long time for these aircraft.
ASD News RAAF MC-55A Peregrine Baseline 2
Spain & India have never actually ordered the F-35. Spain had showed some interest in the F-35B to replace their Harriers & the F-35 had been offered to India. India currently operates 12 P-8's and had been in talks about purchasing another 6. It is these talks that have been suspended, there wasn't actually an order in place. Cheers.It looks like Spain is cancelling their F35 order, and India are cancelling F35s and P8s.
Opportunity for us to take those production slots and get a rapid capability boost?
Any update as to when the RAAF will receive the last two P-8’s to bring the total fleet up to 14Spain & India have never actually ordered the F-35.

I get the political sentiment but what would be an alternative aircraft.The other delivery slot that might become available is Canada. Although cancelling our order wouldn't be a good move for the RCAF, the anti-Trump mood here is making this outcome very acceptable to many here. Canada is obligated for the first batch of 16 out of 88. Would the US allow Canada to sell the 16 to Australia or another user?
For the F-35, there is no good alternative for Canada to select IMHO. I don't believe our P-8 order is under review, just the F-35.I get the political sentiment but what would be an alternative aircraft.
The P-8 is still a very good platform.
I wish the RAAF were getting plane 15 and 16
