RAAF Future Capabilities Discussion
So, the Royal Australian Airforce looks to be undergoing a big expansion towards the future, and a move away from the past (aka the F-111).
With the purchase of around 100 F-35 JSF's, the strike fighter force is moving away from the venerable F-111, and backing this up is the new order of 24 Super Hornets, and upgrades to EA-18 Growlers.The service of the 707 tankers is coming to an end, due to be replaced with KC-35's (I think)
Also, Army Aviation is expanding with the purchase of a new Armed Recconaisance Helicopter in the Tiger ARH
So, what do you think of the future capabilities and standing on the world stage of the RAAF?
