>super hornet
Hilarious if you jews actually do this

super hornet would make little sense because it's basically a completely different plane compared to legacy hornets, there'd be no cost saving involved. eurofighter and rafale cost way too much for what they give compared to the F-35A, and since the F-35's have been getting cheaper and cheaper i think it's a realistic option now. biggest issue is road base usage and supply security. don't think we'd have spare parts or local manufacture for the F-35A, which in wartime would be critical. saab offers those with a local manufacturing deal and geographical proximity.

This. The F-35A is also really great for long range engagements, and honestly there would be less of that in a war involving Finland simply due to the fact that your only potential enemy is right on your doorstep.

The Super Hornet is absolutely the worst option any country could come up with it. I don't know about Finland's range requirements, but I'd imagine it would be quite high? Not as high as Canada, but you guys still have a lot of geography to cover during patrol missions right?

With that being said, best option for Canada would maybe be Eurofighter. Huge range, modern, super cruising, and a very large selection of weapons.

Please buy more F-35's. Thank you.

Finland is smaller then most US states, but yeah, both the SH and "Stealth F-15" Boeing are trying to push is just desperate attempts at this point.

Talking about the F-15SE? I don't even think that's anywhere near completion, but I don't see what's wrong with it. Stealth aspects, combat proven platform, and hueg range on even internal fuel.

the country is about 1000km long, but not as wide. range requirements aren't massive, but being STO capable is a huuuuge bonus. airfields are the first to go, and our highways are designed to be used as airbases. planes should also be compatible with existing inventory of weapons (AIM-9X, AMRAAM, JASSM) and capable of CAP and tactical ground pounding. kinda rules the rafale out.
most air activity would be in the southern half, lapland is pretty indefensible.
the silent eagle is a total meme. you can't just slap on some new angling and stealth coatings to an existing legacy airframe and pretend it's stealthy.
meme opinion

There is nothing stealthy about an F-15. It has a 25m2 RCS, and even reducing that by ten times would still mean its way bigger then most other modern jets. Dont get me wrong, the F-15 is, or was a great jet, its had its days, it first flew almost 50 years ago and buying new ones is really absurd, especially if you dont alredy operate F-15 variants since the operating costs are fuckhuge.

This guy gets it

I wish

I agree it's a meme. I just think it's akin to buying an upgraded F-15E, which is an excellent platform. But I think it would only be worth it to countries already operating F-15Es and wish to upgrade.

this doesn't account for all angles desu, it's a bit deceptive
