That's why my personal opinion is a increase in P8's would be a better buy than either fighter options.

Subs and surface warfare ships do offer that but was thinking like the current situation in Ukraine they wouldn't be much use because of access to the black sea.so a aerial platform and maybe even land based option would help.

My opinion is based on the what I think the UK and the European contigent of NATO is missing. Long range stand off missiles will always be the preferred option in most missions. All fighter aircraft can only carry 1or 2 stand off munitions but something larger would be able to employ many more. This...

I would prefer a option to buy a aircraft that can carry multiple long range munitions. Either more p-8's or develop a long range strategic drine capable of carrying say half a dozen munitions.

Do people remember a ship burning years ago in the English Channel and the RAF bombed it and sunk it. Could this be a solution.

When the typhoon was first being developed they mentioned the ej200 engines would also be upgraded in 2 stages. Does anyone know why that never progressed. Surely with all the upgrades better engines would be a good option.

In a ideal world more pj's and more subs would be my choice. I would also look to arm the p8 with LRASM,JASSM-ER. Plus a serious land based defence system.

Wouldn't a order for F_35a be a cheaper and potentially quicker option. Plus the F-35 would be in service longer.

To be honest with Cambridge Airport closing. Maybe they could look into providing somewhere for the private aircraft and maybe the air ambulance

Is the rafale operating out of Marshall's airport

It's in a article the drive.on Google. It states its only the ones with the 220e engines

I have just been reading a article where the US airforce is looking to submit plans to retire all the older engined F-15e's by 2028. Can anyone else shed some light on this.

I don't suppose anyone on here knows when will Lakenheath require a new runway. It must be getting pretty worn I know they had periods of patch ups.

So what would be wrong with a detachment of aircraft operating from valley.

Have had many passes by ospreys today in Cambridge always a pair. I wondered if they where going into Marshall's.

Thats why common sense should tell these people when trouble starts walk away.

Is there someone on here who knows a bit about drones. I was thinking about the protests in the UK last weekend and was wondering would it be possible to deploy a drone or several equipped with a spray system. What it would do is spray permanent dye onto rioters allowing police to identify trouble m...

Didn't the UK recently sign up to a European medium lift helicopter to replace both merlin and nh90. Also I think the RAF will be looking to the new trainer being developed in Anglia the one with changeable wings.

Does anyone know if there will be a cobra warrior exercise this year
