Even with the unprecedented times that we're living in, I actually can't wrap my head around the revolution in thinking that would be required for the Air Corps to be equipped with 2xC130s.

So not...

It was heresy beyond bearing, since it was true.

At first glance - they have a few things in common with the USAF PC-12's:
The box on the tail for the horizontal stabiliser is notably larger than the civilian NG model - probably housing...

From the media reports they're part of a German led component, so presume they're borrowed from them.

I'd be surprised if the IRIS-T based RBS 98 replaces the RBS 70 completely - it's not a MANPAD. It would seem more likely to replace the RBS 90 - which is a sort of static air defence system based...

Haha! Laners - I'm saying they're armed for the same reason the OPV's are armed: it's a contingency and they are not expected to be used against Eurofighters anymore than an OPV is expected to...

Wonderful theatre that was, but a Fouga would have had little more chance of intercepting an errant 747 cruising at altitude than the PC-9 - if anything the PC-9 is more practical for a point defence...

Sure why stop there so - how would an OPV fair against a few mines, let alone a frigate or submarine - jesus never mind an aerial threat? So what's the point in them having 76mm, or 20mm? If you can...

This crops up every so often and it's quite tiresome to be honest.

They offer a limited point defence capability and a limited air to ground capability, versus a Grob, which offers none of these...

Probably less of an EMC/EMI concern than wind turbines, the panels produce no noise themselves - just DC energy, conversion to other voltages is where the noise could result and that can be greatly...

Any word on delivery date? Could have sworn I just spotted a grey PC12 over Dublin with weather radar dome on wing.

Well, that character and some real folk... I mean DOJ might be reluctant for AGS to adopt the name if they wind up with a PC-12 - their simulated reaction is ably demonstrated by the appropriate...
