As our wing of F/A-2000 begins to develop age-related metal fatigue problems, the government has released $1bn of funding for ESAA to develop a replacement for it. We are also seeking the following items from the international market.
*Radar with range in excess of 420km
*Electronic Warfare equipment
*"Switchblade" mechanism

Interesting... however, we are loathe to invest too much currency in Ell right now.
Things are... unsettled.

Although currently Neo England have no current radars with that capability in use or spare, we can produce one with a capability of about 425km - 430km, although obviously it would cost slightly extra.

Neo England, we already produce a phased-radar that has a range of 420km.

Any more details? We are grateful for your offer.
We don't even have a ground radar with a range of 420km :( and you want to put one in a plane :shock: . We can only dream of the day we could afford that.

The Russians allegedly have one on the Mig-35.

Even though we can't donate, we would like to ask for this:
Get rid of the damn forward swept wings.
Yes, it is great for manuveribility. But the FSW F/A-2000s performed only on a satisfactionary level in terms of performance at supersonic speeds.
However, you could als produce a FSW variant along with the switchblade concept --- like what the Russians do to the Su-47.

OOC: Of course, the forward swept wings on the millenium fighter mean it can't really supercruise. ((But no one has noticed until now)). Also it caused quite a bit of metal fatigue.
