Anyway, out of the American stuff, the best options for Cyprus are F-18F and F-35.

There are also other non American options such as the Eurofighter Typhoon. It's brilliant!

All of the above are expensive. About 100 million per unit.

A lot of money for Cyprus.

Oh yes they can… the Americans can shut your export shit down remotely and you’ll be left wondering why your jet can’t engage theirs, not that you’ll have too much time to think about it!

The stupid Pakistanis learned this the hard way… the Yanks were roaming the skies of Balochistan at will bombing whatever they liked, and to their horror the Pakis couldn’t touch them. Not even American S2A equipment would engage them.

No they cant! All they can do is fudge the GNSS.

But they can stop all support which will ground all aircraft over a period of time just like they did to Iran and Iraq.

There is no way the Lakistanis will target American aircraft. It's like bighting the hand that feeds you.

No you have enough to buy if you wanted too. The order will be fulfilled over a couple of years.

But Cyprus would sacrifice other areas and it would be a dramatic amount of expenditure for a small place.

no matter how many planes or missiles the roc buys it will be wasted money. the moment the fight starts, they will lose the lot. the only protection is to be at peace. then you have no problems.

but this does mean every time a fascist commits a crime they have to prosecuted which so far they have not done once. peace aint easy especially if you are gc or a greak fro that matter.

I like how you use the word 'you' when referring to Cyprus Paphitis?
Why is that?
The CNG can use your knowledge.

Back in my day on the force, the CNG took advantage of the South African Cypriot's expertise who fought in the Angolan bush war.
They were only a few but lessons were learned.

That's the difference between us and Israel.
The Israelis operate together as a unit across the globe for a common cause.

We backstab each other for foreign nationalism and political favour.
i don't fault Paphitis at all.

That’s all based on your assumption that the current situation (having the ability to hide behind Turkey) will go on forever but nothing does.

ie: If Russia now decides to smash Turkey and send them back to stone-age, those in the occupied territory are gonna start getting very hot under the collar!
