Interim Red Air Aggressor Training
So it looks like the PQQ for this interim capability was published today. Very little detail contained within regards to what is required beyond stating that the platform must have an air-to-air radar and radar warning receiver equipment. Has anyone seen the actual contract notice or statement of requirement that may provide some greater detail?

According to the UK Defence Journal blog the timeline is very sporty - by Summer '22 with approval from the CAA and MAA. That should narrow it down a bit.
Any ideas to buy the 100 Sqn Hawks and contract them back to the RAF has been scuppered by the air-to-air radar requirement. Perhaps it's an attempt to flog off the Tranche 1 Typhoons and get a contractor to fly them; that will help to reduce the JPANs at Lossiemouth and save in the short term as pilots will ET and join the new company. But then the hard-pressed TG1 techies will jump ship as well ... not so good. |

This appears to have gone quiet, anyone got an update?
|
Did the Russians get the contract?
|
Appears the answer is below judging by the recruitment drive for Fast Jet Captains, SE Techs, Egress, Av, and Mechs.

Coincidental with Draken's purchasing of a number of the recently retired Norwegian AF F-16 fleet last month...perhaps.

Doubtful, I suspect it will be something Hawk like from within their compendium of aircraft.

L-159 vs Hawk T1
That’s a real upgrade isn’t it?! I’m sure the Typhoon and F35 guys will be delighted at the challenge.

When they say captain is he the senior guy in American terms and might they employ further pilots and ground staff.

The Draken ads are for Fast jet Aircrew and Groundcrew, including Squippers, Riggers, Avionics & Egress.

Still wondering who or what will replace 736 at Culdrose.
