And local planning. We need a law that overrides local planning for emergency use.
Just buy into SAC. Cheaper and more capable. Our missions are so far away that a smaller tactical airlifter won't cut the mustard.
Turret for 105 mm gun for both direct and indirect fire from Cockerill

Can be mounted on a Piranha...
I'd love for the MRV to have some AOR capability. That is why I like the BMT Etrida
But why blue? SAR should be dayglo orange
A rift between the Department of Defence and the Defence Forces arose last year over plans to repatriate two soldiers from the Democratic Republic of Congo on the government’s Learjet, with senior...
It's both actually
PQ about the EPV

Then why on earth are we talking about buying more?
This is a pretty bad piece of SW. @Dev, would you consider moving this to Tapatalk?
Does the C-295 have a useful range for us? With deployments to Mali and stuff? 2000nm with 6 Mg payload, which is not enough to reach Beirut from Dublin.
I am not really seeing the point of the TA-50. Not nearly as widespread as the Gripen, and not built by a friend and ally. And not in service yet.

How often has the NS pointed a gun at a racacitrant fishing boat or fired a warning shot compared to sinking one? The point is the clearly implied "or else".
Nope. Also, what would it do if the intercepted aircraft refused to follow orders? Go "boo"?
Hey, If I can have my dream outfit, I'd like 12 Gripen Echo and 24 Foxtrot Growler please. And 2 Gloabaleye

Not Pumas, Lynxes, which is a much more sensible IFV.
Primary civilian long range radars
Lease of 12 C and 2 D, this being the standard
A321 XLR
None of them supersonic and hence not able to gt where they need to be in a hurry. This is counterindicated for intercepts. And I still say that a Gripen C/D lease would be cheaper than buying any of...
If we start into the fast jet game, I'd go with 2 A 321 XLR MRTT and yes, probe and drogue refuelling, most the rest of the EU uses it.
Probably. but I submit that the area is too built up to host fast movers. Also, we'd want them further west.
It was a CV-90 with a different shell AFAIK. Just go buy a CV-90 or, better, a Lynx.
Shannon. Build a joint base with the NS.
