Now I'm just confused. Mach 2 you say you agree with Navaleye that you could do AD with an ASRAMM on a GR7/9 but then say you need radar etc etc and real fighters??
And when was the jaguar used in the AD role?
The rationale behind fitting more advanced IR missiles to bombers is that it makes them way better at self defence. Not because you want to use them for AD.
If you have an ultra HVU (like our one and only carrier) you need proper, layered AD that includes an aircraft that is AD capable not a sub sonic bomber with an ASRAAM strapped on. F-35C can't come soon enough.
