Air Force Chief of Staff General Charles Q. Brown Jr. is launching a months-long study into the service’s future force mix, which could include a “clean-sheet design” to replace the F-16 and which could potentially threaten long-held plans to buy 1,763 copies of the F-35A, originally intended as the F-16’s successor. “I want to moderate how much we’re using those aircraft,” Brown said. “You don’t drive your Ferrari to work every day, you only drive it on Sundays. This is our ‘high end’ [fighter], we want to make sure we don’t use it all for the low-end fight.” this comparison is damn funny. even US cannot afford to buy ferrari for their police patrol cars🤣 They fight so many wars. most of the wars the enemy got no planes, no tanks and not AA missles. lol ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Columbian78 6th Gear March 28, 2021 Share March 28, 2021 I read that news article and the first response I had was "cool story bro". For the class size of UAV they are talking about it takes at least $100M and 5 to 10 years to develop until it has passed all certifications for airworthiness and not even production stage. And this is assuming an established aviation org like Boeing, lockheed or locally ST eng. And there is no way such a class of UAV carrying weapons can be developed and produced locally in SG, at least as of now. 21 hours ago, Macrosszero said: https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/singapore/supersonic-combat-drone-arrow-seletar-kelley-aerospace-14368346 Never heard of them till now, but a locally AND privately developed Mach 2 stealth drone? 🤯 https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/singapore/supersonic-combat-drone-arrow-seletar-kelley-aerospace-14368346 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
