mushroom 12,870 Posted March 8, 2022 Report Share Posted March 8, 2022 30 minutes ago, Nicepix said: The proposed deal is that Poland hands their MiGs to Ukraine and the Yanks replace them with their F16 planes. Except the Yanks haven't got any new ones in stock or being produced and Poland is nervous about the whole thing. A ramp up of production is included in all active military aircraft business plans. You’re not talking WW2 liberty ship production. But to supply Poland with say 30 F16s wouldn’t take too long, 6months if that. They already have the production line set up. Just becomes simple logistics. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This "game" we all play, this clever use of words that no one used before social media when everyone became an expert on any given subject...I don't know, I might be too soft...but I'm a father, a husband a son and I can still feel empathy for others regardless of their enthincity or if they are only pawns in the worlds political games... There’s dead kids littering the Middle East mate, so what ? And I don’t mean so what in a callous way, I mean so what, we wasn’t talking about them before war landed on our doorstep. Im not going to pretend I gave men, women or children in the Middle East a second thought because I didn’t and I bet I wasn’t alone either if we are all being honest about it. We need to stop feeling empathy and do something about it, for them and for us ! Educating ourselves isn’t a crime if it leads to better outcomes and better outcomes can only come from open conversations discussing this knowledge we gain or think we gain. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
THE STIFFMEISTER 15,695 Posted March 8, 2022 Report Share Posted March 8, 2022 1 hour ago, Born Hunter said: Interesting! There are new upgraded F-16 variants still in development for tender so it's possible a deal could be struck for a new Polish batch of these, perhaps even with some manufacturing in Poland to sweeten it even more. Normally in such deals second hand stuff would be offered to fill the gap. I'm sure the yanks could find a couple squadrons of used F-16s to hand over, even the national guard have them!
