Agreed, CainMarko! Roughly 250 by 350 km in size, most fighting in between 4k meters mountains and France, Germany and Italy surrounding them.

Re: India selects Typhoon & Rafale for MMRCA shortlist - Par

The NG is not yet confirmed for production, sorry mate.
The prospective development yes but not the AC itself as of now.
Next the MS21 (Gripen E/F) project is to begin circa 2015, depending on the needs of a possible foreign partner.[39]
22 ACs won't cut it. :)

Re: India selects Typhoon & Rafale for MMRCA shortlist - Par

The Gripen NG being inferior to the F/A-18 C/D is nonsense- Except that the AC is the Gripen C/D, Kartik, not the NG. My assesment was that the choice is very coherent to the economic situation and supported by Ruag's links to the Swedish AC. I personally also think that it would be sufficient to c...
