    That's the result of continuous cuts to the British defence budget. Not quite as bad as the two malfunctioning trident 2 nuclear missiles that plopped into the ocean half a mile away from the submarine that launched it which was supposed to highlight the British navys capability to defend the country from potential Russian aggression. It really is staggering just how fast the British armed forces have gone from being the world's most powerful military which commanded respect from hostile countries into the embarrassing incompetent laughing stock that it's recently become. Since the end of the cold war government after government have reduced military spending resulting in our armed forces falling further and further down the world rankings in favour of chasing such idiotic government policies such as net zero and providing Islamic migrants from such countries as Syria Iraq Afghanistan and various North African Islamic countries all of which hate the west and everything it stands for. This ridiculous excuse for a government has just recently announced a further reduction of half a billion pounds in defence cuts and considering the world is quite literally a heartbeat away from a global conflict the likes of which the world has never seen is quite frankly outrageous.

    The advantage of French weapons are that they are specifically designed to take into account the shortcomings of other similar systems. For instance, the F-16 was originally designed to be a light fighter, so the airframe was not designed for the equipment it actually carries in real life. The Mirage 2000 was designed to take this into consideration from the outset. So the Mirage 2000 performs better in real world conditions. Which would be expected, being specifically designed for those conditions and not modified after the fact.

    Great to hear that Ukraine will be getting these planes! It's a pity that the Harrier jump-jet isn't made any more - I think they were awesome aircraft and surprisingly capable. Speed isn't everything - the Harrier showed that in the Falklands War when it shot down much faster aircraft. Indeed, being able to slow down or stop means the enemy will go past you and go right into your sights. Few if any aircraft are as maneuverable as the Harrier either. I think one of the F-35 variants is STOL/VTOL but it's usually used off a carrier. Another aircraft that'd be useful in Ukraine is the A-10. Excellent for strafing dug-in Russian positions along the front line.

The British converted a couple of cruisers with half-decks, but no civilian ships. The Japanese converted battlecruisers to carriers, in small numbers. Later in the war the British made a few cargo ships into carriers to help protect Atlantic convoys.

    Game changer? People overuse that word to the point that it has become meaningless. Like he says, these things don't have the A2A capability of the F-16MLUs Ukraine got but the Mirage is an excellent bomb and cruise missile truck and there's plenty of spares. Laser guidance will be pretty useless given the capabilities Russian SAM defences still have but the Mirage will be able to make much better use of more advanced guided bombs than the Su-24. One of their biggest problems is probably going to be integrating NATO IFF systems on the Mirage and F-16 with the old Soviet air defence equipment.

    One thing on the Soviet carriers. Their designs were also restricted by diplomatic concerns. Turkey controls the Bosporous Strait and explicitly prohibits capital ships (anything larger than a cruiser) from passing through it. So in order to get around that restriction, the Russians built "aviation cruisers" which were half-cruiser, half-carrier, allowing them to pass through it.

According to them, eurofigthers were never an option because they were all around too expesnive. Grippens that they offerd to us were "sranje" to put it shortly. They woud have been build from spare parts on bases of C and D model which will have problems with future modernisations and upgrades, plus ironicly they would be the cheepest for inital purchase but most expensive to maintain and use in the long run. Barak as the video said was a failed deal, tho the pentagon said they can sell us the barak but they must strip it of all israeli tech and make it a base us C/D blick 50 f16. That leaves the F16 and the C3R rafael. Bothe were amazing deals, the f16 block 70 new, tho old but proven platform, or newer but slightly used F3R (the oldest of our rafales is around 9/10 yrs old I think its a 2 seater I mighty ask my friend if he knows about that).

      @@Kumyar for the top part of your comment I will ask my friends when we meet for coffe or sum else. Well about the missles I might have an answer. You see our military has sometimes a problem of not buying everything. For example they are buying HIMARS but will only buy rockets that have 80km range and not the 300km ones. Why you ask? Well their answer is we dont need it yet and when the time comes we will buy it but for now they want to modernise our army, navy and af in the most efficient way possible that means buying the expencive systems but not buying the extra goods. So yeah we are trying to cover all aspetcs that need to be upgraded (there are a lot of parts of our military we need to modernise and retire the yugo stuff-for example we do not have long/medium range SAMs or we need to buy 3 modern corvets). So If you take this all in to the count our rafales are for now enough to protect the skys(I mean we coverd our skys with Mig21s with R37 just fine all these years), plus put in to the count that we are a small country, and meteors might be an overkill (But personally I thing we should get the meteor, scalp).

    Not many countries left flying the MiG-21 now. India will be retiring the MiG-21 in 2025, and several other nominal operators have very few or none left in serviceable condition. North Korea is now the main operator.
