| F16 is one of the legendary aircraft due to its agility and modularity which is yet to be countered by anyone yet and I wonder what will replace it the best |

| Well, if Obama had any b@lls he would approved the sale of 66 F-16's to Tawian. Seem like with how bad the economy is. He would have went out of his way to approve it. |

Iraq is now buying Vipers and Indonesia is looking at second hand Block 25s. Pakistan can buy more, but how likely is that? Also, the UAE seems to have lost interest in the Rafail. Would they prefer some more F-16Es?
I think the UAE are playing the power negotiator to get the price down which puts Dassault in a difficult position because if they grant a big discount they may face price problems in India and Brazil so in the end the UAE will order the Rafale. France is the second most important strategic partner after the US and the UAE buys always from both. |

There's a bill in the Senate sponsored by Texas Senator John Cornyn and Kay Granger to force Obama's hand in selling sixty-six F-16C/D's to Taiwan but I don't have too much hopes for it (see below).
