Do Czechia have the same agrement than Belguim, IE they have to be able to carry US tactical nukes?
If so this isn't checkmate at all, it is just than the only plane that can carry those nukes are the F16 and the F35.
Or it can just be a political move.
I still think the F22 have the best design for any stealth fighter, and the Rafale have a better design for multipurpose planes. The F35 tries to be a multipurpose stealth plane, and it suffers greatly. I get that it won't dogfight and will only engage F3 weapons against others gen3+, but i do think the inclusion of drone reconnaissance in the airspace will render stealth harder to obtain (well, not against Russia tbh, so i gess its fine). I do think the operating costs could cripple the airforce of small econ like the Su operating costs crippled the Russian army (less than 80 hours/year on average for their pilots? seriously?), and think the Grippen would be a better choice overall, but it is the cost-saving boring engineer who's talking.
