Ideally the USAF should acquire 26 Boeing E-7 (along with +2 prototype) for a total of 28 airframes. Additional with the UK committing to 3+2 Wedgetail AEW.1 (for total of 5) and NATO commitment for 6 to replace their E-3 Sentry would bring the total to 39 aircraft in total

China seized the Paracel Islands from Vietnam in 1974 and now it’s building a 1,490-acre artificial island on Antelope Reef, its first major island-building campaign since 2017. Preliminary airstrip foundations, 50+ structures, helipad, and jetties are already visible in satellite imagery. Beijing’s official line: “improving living and working conditions.” The reality: a multi-domain military outpost designed for surveillance, A2/AD, and power projection 162 nautical miles from Hainan. This violates the 2016 international tribunal ruling and destroys coral reef ecosystems in the process. Commercial satellite imagery provided by @SkyfiApp from @Satellogic makes it impossible to hide. Thanks to folks like @GordianKnotRay for exposing this! @GordonGChang check this out!

US will soon have three fighter in production with the upcoming F-47 to supplement the F-35 and F-15EX while F-16V is mainly focus on export also F/A-XX assuming Northrop Gruman bags the contract means it should match China though the question is can the US Sustain that?
Alex Hollings@AlexHollings52

Added context: China will have five active fighter production lines running soon, including two 5th gen platforms. Current estimates place annual deliveries at ~240+ fighters. Today, the U.S. military is taking deliveries from just two fighter lines (F-35 and F-15EX).

I also included the two modernized chinese-built Naresuan-class FFG with 8-cells Mk. 41 VLS for ESSM along with sensors and combat suite from Saab which means they will be in-service for the coming decades. So 2 DW-3000F and 4 Ocean 4000T for a total of 8!

Not sure if this will be a sistership for the Bhumibol Adulyadej (FFG-471) ? But considering it has been 7 years since the delivery of this first ship a sub-class is probably more likely Hanwha Ocean 4000 (3,750 ton) frigate with 16 VL MICA NG + 1 SIMBAD-RC with 2 Mistreal 3 CIWS

Thai Enquirer@ThaiEnquirer

Royal Thai Navy to Procure One Frigate for 17 Billion Baht The Royal Thai Navy will procure one new frigate with a total budget of 17 billion baht, aiming to strengthen its 3D combat capabilities—anti-surface, anti-submarine, and anti-air warfare—alongside missions such as humanitarian assistance, disaster relief, and maritime search and rescue. The project, scheduled over six years (FY 2026–2031), follows the Navy’s long-term strategy and current needs, as only four of the planned eight frigates are in service. Delivery is expected at Sattahip Naval Base. To ensure transparency, the Navy will implement an “Integrity Pact”, requiring government agencies, bidders, and independent observers to commit against bribery and bid-rigging. #Thailand #Navy #Frigate #กองทัพเรือ #เรือฟริเกต

For commonality sake I wish the RTN just acquired a 2nd Frigate in 2021~2023 timeframe with delivery in 2024~2026 before moving to a en-larged successor like the Hanwha Ocean 4000T with 2 × 8-cells Mk 41 VLS for ESSM and VL-ASROC with 2~4 in the class for a total of 8 frigates

@Drethegrater Considering those assets MRF and Submarine will be acquired through foregin finnace their will be limitations on acquiring system such as cruise missiles and BMD assets, though dosen't they shouldn't be ignore in fact they complement each other in a distributed strategy like UKR

Is it too late for the military to build a conventional force? Yes,but alternatives remain attainable. The AFP must recognize the need for assets that can be quickly integrated into service, alongside fast-paced infrastructure development and rapid organizational restructuring.
Dréthegrater@Drethegrater

This simple visualization of the PLA’s Joint Counter-Intervention Operational Strategy shows that its core capabilities and planning extend well beyond the AFP’s projected operational coverage. In short, we are significantly lacking. (excluding land-based ICBM of China)

Just an opinion about it, any attempt to acquire air-defense oriented assets should be driven with the purpose of creating a redundancy in the overall integrated air defense, relegating the fleet air defense role to second. 1/4
PH Navy Fan@f2_viperzero_ph

@Drethegrater Ideally their should be two per one HDF-6000 so a total of six (3 HDF-6000) or eight (4 HDF-6000), with the MMCF and JRCF being focus on convoy escort and protecting surface action group.

@Drethegrater I personally see them supplementing the future AAW destroyer or frigate maybe base on the HDF-6000 with 3~5 (4 being the sweet spot), along with 8 HDF-3600 or something more advanced a derivative of the upcoming FFX Batch IV being design by Hanwha Ocean base on Chungnam-class FFG

Here is my ideal follow-on class of frigate after the Miguel Malvar-class FFG for the 🇵🇭 PN! The HDF-3600 being built for the 🇵🇪 Peruvian Navy is the best candidate with CODAD propulsion, with Integrated Mast & AESA radar, a 76mm gun, 24-cells VLS, 8 C-Star AShM & Gokdeniz CIWS.

PH Navy Fan@f2_viperzero_ph

3rd Miguel Malvar-class frigate will start building soon! Likely to follow with a fourth for a total of 4! Hoping another 2 MMCF will be ordered to bring the total to six (6) along with two (2) Jose Rizal-class frigate for a total of eight (8) frigates. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miguel_Ma…

@Doha1389960 So will the USAF future fleet consist of the F-47, F-35A, F-15EX with F-22, F-15E, and F-16C/D likely to remain in the next two or three decades? As for the USN F-35C, F/A-18E/F and F/A-XX/NGAD (pronounced NJAD to not be confused with NGAD under the USAF).
