Avid political loony, energy/power systems and a bit of military stuff. Karuna country is our home.
My theory is these peace proposals are initiated by Russia purely because they need a pause to rebuild their armed forces and economy. He has no intention of stopping in the longer term.

The A-60 was definitely a unique aircraft, interesting target.

Obviously NATO wanted to piggyback off the US orders but the rug was pulled out when the US walked away from the partnership. Although I think Saab will get some orders there's still the possibility of NATO doing a deal with the UK to partner in a E-7 build (US doesn't hold the IP in the platform).

US has passed funding to continue the E-7 program so who knows?

Problem is there's a huge capability gap between the E-7 and the rest of the field. Range figures sound good but I think the need to be able to process high volumes of traffic in European airspace will require a lot more aircraft, not to mention the loss of airborne battlefield management.

Obviously there's no direct replacement for the E-3, Europe will have to make do with the smaller biz jet AWACS.
Curious though as to the 'deal' to build the two US E-7 prototypes in the UK still happening?
