    both our new helo carriers come with ski jumps and we have options for the vstol version of the f35. With the invincable it was us who said the brits could keep it as the then govt said we did not need carriers because they are offensive not defensive and the yanks did other us f22s but we couldnt afford them, with the last upgrade to the f111 they are capable of dropping or launching all current us missles including cruise missles when we bought the f111 the indonesions complained to canberra they also protested the last upgrade but so far i have not heard them complain about us getting the f35 does that tell us somthing. I wonder with the new russian fighter looking so much like the lightning where did the stealth tech come from

    Ok so I haven't read the whole thread just the first post but...

    while I love Russian aircraft (just "coo" factor i there ya kno) they uually have avionics not up to the standard of the US and Western European offerings.

    Airframe design on the other hand is brillant. Engines are catching up quickly, but also don't match the established Western brands... yet.

    And don;t even mention dogfights... just doesn;t happen any more except in movies.

    If this sort of discussion interests you, Dale Brown writes some cant put down fiction around modern warfare with a lot of factual input. His two latest books revolve around "star wars" and the latest available known technology and the latest perceived threats. dont confuse Dale Brown with Dan Brown. Imho Dale Brown is the most exciting author currently on the planet with exception to our own Matthew Reilly

    No they are scrapping them / selling them to collectors / museums etc.

    Problem is that our airframes are so old they are highly uneconomical to maintain, and even if we had new airframes - if they were stored and ever required again the avionics packages would need a complete update. And they still wouldn't have stealth.

    Sadly, their time is past.

    They should keep a couple for dump-and-burns though !

    Pigs bum !

    Dale Brown is not bad, I'll grant you.
    Matthew Reilly while writing a rollicking yarn is all explosions and NO credibility.

    The most exciting author currently on the planet is actually Clive Cussler - a special favourite of shipwreck and old car fans - plus his novels are well researched also.
