so lets list down the pros and cons of the Su-30s and the F/A-18E/F..ive always been a fan of the flankers and my view might be slightly biased..but after reading all the post here..im actually confused..so wud be glad if u guys can help me out with the hornets part..
personally i still think the MkMs hold an edge over the superhornets..why?its always the same reason..the russians are flexible..no policy of not selling weapons to certain countries for political reasons etc..and i just dont like the idea of being under the 'orders' of the states..
btw,isnt it unfair to compare the Su-30s with toyotas?:
the hornets/superhornets are good,no doubt,but i dont think the difference in capabilities with the flankers are that far apart..and saying so,of course opting for the cheaper but equally good plane would be the better choice for the RMAF right?
but at the same time,i dont want the RMAFs hornet to be sold as they are still operating well and considered very new..but since the days where the lack of cover for the MiGs weaknesses are long gone..(night capabilities,naval strike)..the need for another batch of hornets would be unnecessary..
just my 2 cents
and yea..F-16s do have arrestor hooks as well..
