Interesting comment, since the EU does not have "modern fighters"


Eurofighter? Rafale? Gripen?


How many of them are actually in service? Hmmm....

Nobody ever said that Europe couldn't design or build modern fighters, but
that they simply choose not to because it's easier to let the USA fight all
their wars for them, then complain about American 'imperialism'. They have
it both ways.


or
strike aircraft.


Tornado GR.4? Harrier GR.9?


How many? Last I heard, both of those aircraft were on their way out in the
near future.


They also have no organic strategic transport aircraft


We're assured that the A400M will be wonderful.


If they decide to buy and field more than three.


and
no usable attack helos.


Lynx AH.7? Tiger? Mangusta?


Hardly up to Apache standards.
