¡Ésuccesses in your operationón!
Excellent, However, it is still necessary to renew, probably the most expensive, which are the old Israeli and French Kffir and Mirage fighters respectively, and other obsolete ones..
Dassault aviation offers very good fighters and when the FAE has a better budget they can gradually be renewed or looking at other options that are better suited to our conditions 👍🏻🇪🇨
Rather, now we have to renew the Cheetah, which were the replacements for the Mirage and Kfir. Regrettably, They are millionaire investments and at this moment the country has other priorities.
Yes exactly 😅 it was outdated I thought that the South African Cheetahs complemented and not that they were a replacement for the Mirage and Kffir. We know that they were a lousy investment of correismo for the agreement and support for the BRICS, it was bought good and lousy. To Brazil the Super Tucano, excellent but to India and South Africa the already old helicopters and fighters respectively were a disaster.
