If F35 gets grounded again for some software error, or virtual helmet reality problem, that will be our only air defense :(

- KeplerBoy 3y agoAt least you guys have a backup. If the Eurofighter gets grounded Austria has no airforce, because we retired the Saab 105 without buying L39s or Grippens as replacement.
- Thoeu388 3y agoHonestly, I would just prefer good S300 system. At Ukraine it covered sky for almost a year. Jet fighters for air superiority are obsolete.
- dralley 3y ago>Jet fighters for air superiority are obsolete. Nobody in Ukraine would agree with this. For keeping Russian fighters out of your airspace, sure, ground based air defense is great. For taking your territory back, it cannot substitute for jet fighters.
- preisschild 3y agoS300 is only good against old jets, not against modern stealth jets such as the F-35. Modern western SAM systems such as PATRIOT and NASAMS are obviously much more capable. > Jet fighters for air superiority are obsolete. No they aren't. Why do you think Ukraine is asking for F-16s. You can deny air superiority to the enemies with good air defense, but not establish it for yourself.
