The number of techncial personnel is not determined by the number of aircraft, rather by the size of the entire system. Lads turning spanners per hull, on the ramp,assuming nothing goes pear shaped on the turnaround, is around three or four; engineering staff dealing with tech stuff in the head office is probably the same again. You are dealing with airworthiness/modifcations/armament/overhaul/engine and airframe structural specialists and so on.Now,you can buy in a lot of that as part of the package,ie, you lease the Gripen,you get the Swedish shed-dwellers to deal with the indoor engineering and let the Irish do the ramp stuff. Hangar work soaks up manpower like you wouldn't believe and if you are getting into fitting out and manning workshops for overhauling subassemblies like pumps,valves, motors and so,then you start ramping up the manpower requirement like crazy,which is where the accountants start whining and the Minister starts tapping the table and the other capbadges start making snide remarks about costs. So,you have to think carefully about what you buy in.

It was a new age...It was the end of history.

What would happen if just before entering IAA controlled airspace a Russian Bear turned on his transponder, contacted Shannon Control saying he was an unarmed aircraft on a navigation exercise and would like to transit across Ireland?
Would the trailing armed RAF Typhoons be able to do the same?
