And in response Australia is retiring her F-111s without replacement?

Comeon Aussies, join the USA, you've bled enough for it.

Come back in 5 years, let's see how many of these new jets that the Indos
can launch with half a day's notice. Maintenance and training aren't
really strong in the region and Sukhois make expensive craters.

Probably cheaper to buy more than maintain the 4 rust buckets they have.
(They couldn't run a two seater **** house, even if we provide the paper and

Henry, just when we thought you had already reached the pinnacle of the
entire concept of stupidity, you again raise the bar...congratulations.
