Hello all,
The F1s will be bought to replace the Mirage III / Mirage V (Mara and Finger) fleet. So, it will be here an interceptor / ground attack aircraft. The trouble is the Spaniards modified it to full mud movers, and the fighter role is really marginal. Well, same with the A4ARs, a ground attack plane rated here as a multirole fighter...
The "North Shield" Ops (control and protection of the northern frontier, specially against drug cartels from Paraguay and Bolivia) includes now a couple of radars and all AAF Sqn´s are rotating to fulfill the task. I think the F1 will go north some time, then go back and so on. For sure, not the best plane to intercept a Cessna.
Also, I think that any local government that hint they are planning to attack military the islands it will be out of the office in a couple of days. A shooting war is really out of the question.
Regards!
PD: AR1, PM me, I will point you to the more interesting military museums here (don´t tell the miss, of course...)
