some EAF info interests me..

- J-7( mig21 clone) to be replaced by JF17/FC-1...this one can fire SD-12 AAM. make the aircombat even dangerous.
- EAF has 195 F16 and 18 mirage2000! plus 8 E-2C.. quite impressinve backbone.
- An Alpha jet user ! and soon to have 120 K-8 jet trainer :shock: the training fleet is quite big.. not to mention L39 and L59.
- a big helo fleet mixed with AH64, Gazelle, S70, CH46, Mi6/8/17 and seaking.
- order more An-74.. hmm once i thought this ac is not popular in the market( and rarely seen in sim ). i am wrong.

So.. the middleeast airforces get modernized and become much stronger than before..no wonder IAF hurries to get F-35 in 2012.
