Taiwan is retiring its fleet of F5 fighter jets. What should replace them, other than yet more F16 slop?

>>509909484 (OP)
all the other options are all garbage though

Drones and missiles

>>509909484 (OP)
the F-35 obviously

>>509909484 (OP)
J10's.
Lmao.

>>509909484 (OP)
f16 isn't slop but i do agree they need newer technology.

>>509909484 (OP)
Nukes. They only need nukes and the will to use them. Thats it

>>509909670
This but unironically.

>>509909866
>Nukes
Nah, they're better off having a whole lot of smaller weapons such that the CCP can't intercept them all.
China's plan is to hit critical infrastructure right before/during the attack so that it's harder to respond. That said, China can't exactly conduct an extended operation if they suddenly get dams blown up and shit like that.

Eurofighter

>>509909484 (OP)
taiwan doesn't have a chance against China. Might as well save the money.

>>509909866
china will invade if they catch whiff a nuke plan.

>>509910542
Come and take it

>>509910542
Once TSMC leaves it's getting handed over to the CCP anyway

>>509909484 (OP)
You know it'll be F-16s again lol Taiwan is too rich for shit like FA-50 or Gripen.

>>509910542
>taiwan doesn't have a chance against China
Shame the chinks aren't as delusional as you are

>>509909484 (OP)
>What should replace them
F20

>>509910542
They don't even have to invade or attack taiwan, that shithole island is heavily dependent on the mainland especially hong kong, all they have to do is do a full trade embargo and ban from everything, from power, telecommunications, food, fuel etc.

The citizens would revolt against their own government faster than chinks would expect because there is fuck all of anything on that tiny shithole, they need their seed oil for their goyslop, they'll have to pay more to import it from vietnam.

They also have a very strict waste control since they export all their rubbish to mainland china, they would literally become a trash dump because they don't have anywhere to send it, its too expensive to constantly ship it to india and the phillipines have stop taking rubbish from other countries.

>>509912357
Sanctions are a meme

>>509909484 (OP)
They'll do like Thailand and choose Gripen.

>>509913958
Doubt it

>>509909866
this

>>509910542
You won’t do shit, Zhang

>>509909670
Do J10s have any combat experience?

>>509914359
Youre about to have a hundred bots and retards say yes theyve shot down 6 million rafales although there is no evidence a J-10 shot it down.

>>509909484 (OP)
F-15EX, most logical choice. Flying missile truck that can skull-fuck just about everything and is robust and fast as fuck.
>>509914549
Tactics also play a big role, especially modern air combat is being a sneaky and getting off the first volley. Pakistan already had a good impression of what the Indians were doing and there airforce underestimated how vulnerable they were lobbing missiles from their side. The plane used didn't even matter that much in this situation, more so that Chinese missiles are indeed a threat that should be taken into account.

>>509909484 (OP)
The USA should sell Taiwan the F-15EX and pretend they're monkey model F-15s from old inventory

>>509914350
Cheng Kai Shek wins again

>>509914207
They'll bend the knee to the mighty Swede and the Wallenberg industrial complex. The arrogant Canadiens also realized their mistake in buy American junk, Börje Salming back in the day, Gripen today.
The days are over for locksneed and "if it's Boeing I ain't going".

>>509913958
this jet looks aesthetically unappealing
make it a bit longer with double engine then it'll look better

>>509914920
Can Saab even build Gripens in any useful capacity?

>>509909645
35, like the AV8, cannot VSTOL with a full bomb load and full fuel tanks.

>>509915077
do you really need that?

>>509915062
Of course. Factory and tools are included so you can build them yourself locally.

>>509909484 (OP)
massive mistake

>>509909484 (OP)
F-35 is the only choice.

>>509916521
>>509916603
they do need to upgrade to something though
>>509917148
yep
this situation is literally what it was created for

>>509917244
China is going to attack soon. They do not have time. China was targeting NATO planes yesterday remember. All this wishy washy wishful thinking is going to get people killed.

>>509915587

>>509917593

>>509910858
Nah F-16

>>509917884
they already have those, the F-5 is mostly for recon

>>509917939
But do their f-16s look like this? They need these ones

>>509918006
oh shit they have exofighters?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mLmVvEpTy3A

>>509918075
Yes

>>509912357
won't happen.
if China decides to take the island, it will do a military operation. Taiwan will surrender pretty quickly because they don't want to be destroyed.
A blockade will give the USA time to help Taiwan, which is what they don't want.
Taking Taiwan is the easy part. it's dealing with the fallout that is the hard part.

>>509909866

They had a secret nuclear program years ago. The guy in charge of it contacted the CIA and had them shut it down. In his personal view, it was better to lose the war than to win by nuking cities of innocent civilians. So he snitched to the USA which strictly forbids them from developing nukes.

>>509918162
China can’t do shit if they get f-16s

>>509909484 (OP)
Replace them with superior Chinese aircraft after reunification.

>>509909484 (OP)
>more fighter jets instead of investing heavily on missiles
stupid decision if your country can't maintain such expensive military hardware. if you want planes at least get A-10 or even A-29 because ukraine conflict showcased how effective those planes are in the age of drone warfare.

>>509918310
>investing heavily on missiles
Iran just showed the entire world why that's a bad idea and not the path to take
it didn't help them at all

You're joking, right?

They're not god either

>>509918456
The only joke is if something tries to go against the F-16

>>509914904

>>509918364
How? They did billions in damage almost every night.

>>509918364
Iran got fucked from the inside, it is also pretty weird that their murmansk system was a no-show.

They destroyed a kike nuclear reactor, hit the Mossad HQ, striked the 8200 building, hit the Israeli Microsoft HQ, destroyed the Haifa power plant, and wrecked a hospital and targeted the ben kike airport. Obviously, you have been eating the sanitized mainstream slop.

>>509920132
Not real

>>509920301
I'm a real person, I'm just telling you the reality of the situation. It was structural damage that can be repaired and doesn't set back Israel or the USA's strategic capability in the region.

By comparison, Iran was significantly crippled and didn't really enact any kind of lasting damage.
They hit some buildings that are going to be built rebuilt really quickly because we throw 50 billion dollars at Israel every weekend like it's something fun to do.

that's called 'loyal wingman' tech and is probably going to be part of the 6th-gen fighter package

>>509909484 (OP)
fuck me, those are ancient

>>509909632
Honestly, mostly this.
Fighters, especially interceptors, are outdated.
You can build a fighter drone that can outmaneuver any human, and build enough of them to match the Chinese manpower advantage they have.
Taiwan will never go on the offensive against China and try to reclaim it, so you just need a short range interceptor to destroy bombers and motherdroneships. A simple, low cost, unmanned hyper-maneuverable inceptor drone could be build rather stealthy and using AI could fight even without direct operator control. Allow operator override in case of problems but it can cruise stealthed up and quiet, with AI, so it can get near targets it wants to intercept.
Also hard to track the numbers of drones compared to number of fighter jets.

I hate to agree with Sukdeep, but he is onto something here.

>>509922199
she looks good for 60

>>509909804
This basically marks how many successful bombing runs on ukrainian women and children the airplane did.

He and any other chinese ruler would have been just as bad as mao when dealing with the result of the civil war and war with japan. There where tons of miscellaneous warlords to deal with and shitloads of uprisings up until the 1960's when everything got forcibly stamped out.

One way or another, they're getting mighty dragons

gripens. most cost effective modern western jet.

or maybe something american to bribe for more support from america, like the new eagle.

not sure if stealth matters for this defensive role, but if it does you`re pretty much stuck with an f35. they got most of the bugs out now so not a bad plane, obnoxiously expensive though

You don't have to be from there to know about the details of the war so far

>>509922912
>the new eagle
this is the best choice if you can't afford the F-35

>>509923426
Chinks will buy SU-35's or SU-57 before buying a Gripen to cope with the fact that they cannot afford a F-35. We live in funny times so this would be funny to see russian made SU-57's fighting J aircraft over chink waters. When china is supporting Russia.

>>509909484 (OP)
The Saab Gripen makes sense for Taiwan. It's affordable, versatile, very manoeuvrable and if airfields are destroyed it can easily land on small roads to be refuelled and rearmed quickly. Also the Swedes will give them more flexibility to modify and build the aircraft locally without jewing them like the Americans would. Taiwan should order around 80 Gripens.

No but likely there would have been purges, local wars and other bullshit. We are talking about a country that has never been free from under another dynasty's rule so surely they want to step on there neighbors necks when they get the chance.

As with most American slop it’s never fought a real war. Just been on safari’s killing outdated sandpeople.

>>509909804
How does the Chinese manufactured J-11 compare to the Russian Sukhoi?

>>509919171
We don't know exactly how much was destroyed in Israel. We do know Iran demonstrated that they had the means to destroy power plants, desalination plants, microchip fabs, etc, if Israel did not back off. Which Israel did.

Let's recall that Netanyahu was talking about "creating the conditions" for "subjucated Iranians" to "rise up" against their government, and Trump was talking about "unconditional surrender" and "everyone should evacuate Tehran immediately".

For example after Israel bombed a refinery in Iran, Iran bombed a refinery in Israel.

>in retalation for what Israel and the USA did?
We don't really know what the full damage is in Iran either. Israel seems not to have even scratched Iran's oil export infrastructure, which *should* have been a priority target since it is a crucial lifeline for Iran's economy. This was probably because Israel realized they could not stomach the retaliation such an attack would bring.

>>509925201
it was built specifically for export, nobody is concerned who knows what about it
our ACTUAL new fighter is still in the works

>>509925918
The fact remains that Iran cannot overwhelm Israel's interception capabilities

>>509925530
I've seen a /k/ sticker on a pickup truck before. The only board that signals to normies they are on 4chan

Japan used ancient F-4 phantoms until 2021. They now mostly fly the F-2 Mitsubishi, F-15J and F-35.

>>509926102
/k/ is gun tubers entirely. No secret at all that majority of gun tubers pay tribute one way or another to them.

Meanwhile the rest of the inernet steels our memes or we adapt other peoples memes to give them more malleability. No one really knows the sub boards aside from /a/ and maybe /fit/ but that was also full of youtubers. except Rich Piana since he was a workaholic before he died (sun up sun down type).

>>509921120
It seems premature to say that Saudi Arabia is normalizing relations with Israel. Normalization plans seem to have been put on hold

Egypt normalized in 1980, Jordan in 1994. The only recent one is UAE

>Iraq and Afghanistan are US/Israeli controlled
Only Iraqi Kurdistan is, really. In the rest of Iraq, there is heavy PMF influence. In case you missed the news, the US pulled out of Afghanistan in 2021

>>509926367
I've never gotten that impression. The reality is most of your youtubers and e-celebs frequent 4chan. I bet tons of celebs frequent /tv/ even more so than the confirmed ones. The traffic on this website is pretty nuts if you think about it.

>>509926095
And yet Trump and Netanyahu drastically scaled back the aims of the war, instead deciding to just "drop the MOP" and declare "mission accomplished". I guess it was because they suddenly became compassionate humanitarians in the last day of the war.

>>509926610
they dialed back because the goal is eventual regime change, not total war right now

>>509926036
It was built for export to trusted allies

They won't even sell it to Turkey, ostensibly because its magical secrets might be leaked to the Russians if it is part of the same air defense system as a Russian-made S-400 system

>>509926804
there's nothing magical about the f-35 to be compromised
it's still inferior to the F-22

>>509926603
4chan since the start has really been the bed rock of internet culture for the US. With very few places even making a dent by comparison. It was only once flash games, streaming sites(newgrounds/youtube) got bigger then did the culture spread out. This also includes other smaller shitter forums that i am sure you heard about. The more organized internet groups hail from these forums but 4chan is mostly the culture starting point. hell even garand thumb talked about the tunnel jews to some IDF members on his channel. Kek they had no clue what he fuck he was joking about.

>>509909866
Precisely, and they just need a Samson option with the Nukes.

When the last practical defenses are breached the following will happen
>Nuke warheads will be sent flying towards every major CCP city and crucial infrastructure.
>If China still pursues, a self detonating Nuke will rip apart Taiwan alongside the invading force and even destroy parts of southern coastal China.

The whole point is not about winning, the point is to make the price so costly it's not worth the effort.

>>509926222
The F2 is literally just a supersized f16. US policy neutered their domestic manufacturing for the last two generations out of fear of nationalistic returns, They were told any next gen fighter they built domestically would have to be a licensed variant of a US product, and that any design choices would be the IP of said US corporations.

The F2 brought us the composite fuselage and wing structure, the full aspect radar/sensor suite, and the glass manufacturing that we see in the f22 and f35.

Mitsubishi and Japan as a whole subsidized all the major developments that went into our current gen fighters, and they still cost us 1 billion dollars apiece.

>>509926747
If Iran has been disarmed of effective strategic weapons, what better time than now? Why pause and give Iran time to rebuild or receive new weapons from abroad?

The logic does not pass the smell test.

The easier explanation is that Trump and Netanyahu at first thought they had taken out Iran's command ability and most of Iran's missile bases, then Iran proved they had not, and thus it became unfeasible to continue the war because if they tried inflicting more serious damage to Iran, Iran would retaliate by inflicting intolerable damage to Israel. Also, it's likely that Israel was running out of missile interceptors.

>>509927076
And everyone wins. I hope the mainland chinks samson option includes india/pakistan just to cover the basis.

>>509926367
/k/ is glownigger central.

>>509927107
because the United States doesn't benefit from the collapse of the current Iranian regime
only Israel benefits from that

>>509926902
Sure, sure. Nothing secret or sensitive about the only 5th gen fighter jet that's in production in the US sphere of influence

F-22 is superior to F-35, but that's just because the F-35 was designed to be a medium fighter-bomber rather than a top-of-the-line air superiority fighter. The F-35 has newer tech than the F-22. Also, there are only about 120 combat capable F-22s and no more will be built

>>509909484 (OP)

>>509912357

>>509927304
>Actually, the US *prefers* the IRGC and Ayatollahs to rule Iran, and the US does not care what Israel wants in the Middle East
ok

>>509927344
Dumbass you are missing the point the F-22's replacement is already in production. We would rather shred the F-22 then sell that to anyone else. The F-35 is a ho hum replacement for peoples aging F15-16's since its not a threat to the newer gen planes that will be reserved for the american only military. Whatever tech it has is at best slightly better than whatever chink's and ruskies have at best.

>>509909804
hnnnnngggggg

>>509918605
Gripen is fucking the F-16 in the ass. Big time. Its been tested in training more than once.

>>509927514
The F-35 is a plane designed to 1990s requirement, when it was expected no one else would be able to afford to build a plane of similar 5th gen tech level anyway, and that tank plinking would be the main task for the next 50 years. It's a plane primarily designed to BTFO Saddam's tank armies a third time, this time harder than ever before.

>the F-22's replacement is already in production.
Is it? May I see it?
I thought they just awarded the contract?

>>509927490
>regime change means the new regime will be better
you haven't learned anything have you?

>>509909670
This is a gay joke, but one thing that really annoys me is that our supposedly "neutral" government refuses to even consider Russian and Chinese options for fighter jets.

>>509913958
We should have chosen the Gripen too and put this mess behind us.

And for those who aren't aware, there is a major political scandal in Switzerland right now because the Burgermutts decided to jack up the price of the F-35s they're selling to us by roughly 30%, a full $1 billion more than we were originally slated to pay.
This comes after Israeli kikes swindled us by selling Hermes 900 drones that cannot function in Swiss skies, while failing to deliver the autonomous landing system for the drone, literally $250 million flushed down the toilet to Tel Aviv.

>>509927877
Of course it would be better, from the US/Israeli perspective. Even if Iran descends into a chaotic mess, it means it will no longer be a power factor in the region. Netanyahu's talk about the Iranian people "rising up" is just an euphemism for destroying Iran as a functional state: he does not actually care about the Iranian people.

Kek, Taipeh cucks going wild ITT.
Like seriously, Mainland isn't even trying, otherwise it would have been done in a few days.
They still let you have the that very small island a few kilometers off the Xiamen coast.

As it stands status quo is kept, which is boring asf.
I hope the Orange man and circumstances will change things.

Perú just placed an order for like 15 of those, making the Peruvian Air Force stronger than half of Europe's, considering they also have other 15 fighters from the USSR and France.

If they were smart they would. F-16s are extremely overrated and overpriced junk. Gripen would easily rape f-16s and f-35s.

>our supposedly "neutral" government refuses to even consider Russian and Chinese options for fighter jets
Your "supposedly" neutral government knows which external parties are trustworthy. A nation would be foolish to put something that is both substandard and full of backdoors into service. At least with the F-35, you stay on Uncle Sam's good side, you get to bomb your enemies with impunity. Or play in those wicked mountain canyons in a purely defensive role, of course.

>>509935204
Looks like the faggot nafotroon /k/uck finally quit squealing and fucked off back to /k/ope /k/uck /k/age where it belongs.

As cool as the Gripen is, Taiwan already has 140 F-16s. It makes more sense to double down on the F-16 due to parts compatibility versus acquiring a completely new aircraft.

That said, what I like about the Gripen is it's almost the spiritual successor to the F-5. Lightweight, able to land on unimproved runways, able to be rearmed and refueled in the field with a minimum of infrastructure, low operating costs, etc etc. The F-5 is probably my favorite fighter jet because of how simple yet robust it is. And it was very good for its day. In every engagement where they fought Mig-21s, they spanked the Migs. Obviously they're a very old aircraft at this point. But they're still used in aggressor training because in visual range fighting they're still a major threat. However... Aerial combat has been moving away from visual range combat for decades. Now it's all about extremely long range missiles and whose missiles have the longer reach. Pakistan's J-10s spanked India's Rafales purely because the J-10s had longer range missiles. None of those fighters ever even saw each other. They were firing from 150km+ away from each other. I think the missile is probably as important as the aircraft at this point. I don't think the USA or Taiwan has an air to air missile in the 200km+ range like the Chinese PL-15 or Russian R-37. Without a PL-15 / R-37 analog new jets seem a little pointless to me.

I don't even want to think about the vortices those wingtips generate

He was a hated dictator that ruled by terror.

The only bitch move here was letting his small group of supporters keep some of his statues up at all.

For Taiwan, those long range missiles can be hosted in island launch facilities for the bulk of their air defense. This means bigger radars on the mountain tops than any AWACS can dream of and much larger missiles.
Aircraft in this context want to be good at three things, possibly three different airframes.

>antiship

>plus lots of AWACS and drones
With that kind of loadout, the RoC armed forces can hold the middle China Sea.
