@Elliptica @Shadowman311 True enough, but it’s not young. They show off a lot of new-spec stuff like the -16V, or any one of the improved F-15s, but that doesn’t matter if they aren’t buying them.
Most of the backbone logistical stuff is ancient, too. C-130s, KC-10s, C-5s, they’re long in the tooth. May not make a big difference in combat, but it sure will when you can’t afford to have 30$ of your wing down for unplanned maintenance in a military accustomed to overnighting its parts around the world.
