Columbian armed forces

Post by serge750 »

So it seems the Columbian airforce has selected 16 Rafael jets for $3bn over the F16 to replace its Kfir jets....

The French have pulled a blinder in how many Rafale jets they have sold worldwide across the last 1-2 years.
Apparently down to combination of perfromance, upfront purchase price and ongoing annual servicing costs.

Given that the USAF/Reserves/National Guard are phasing out the older blocks of F16 C/D's, I am suprised they did nt do a deal with Colombia for some cheap older blocks F16 C/D's, as they get replaced by F35's.

looks like a ''political election'' because of the president. colombia has israeli armament that cannot be use in a frech fighter aircraft, like the python.

anyways, is the best fighter aircraft in the continent in my opinion.
