I agree, the Yak130's would be a good aircraft for this country and a great step up from the PC-9's

Ireland buying fighter jets would be lunacy because a requirement to use them would never arise and even if it did they'd prove to be useless just like America's fighter jets on 9/11. LOOK BACK AT 9/11: Between 0814 and 0903 two planes had been hijacked and crashed into the World Trade Center. Why couldn't US fighter jets intercept American 77 before it hit The Pentagon (of all places) 34 minutes later at 0937 and it had been hijacked for 47 minutes? After the Pentagon was hit, United 93 crashed 26 minutes later (thanks to the passengers) at 1003 after been hijacked for 35 minutes. United 93 had made a U-turn when hijacked and had been heading towards Washington D.C. for half an hour and was not intercepted by the "all mighty" US military and their vast fleet of "wonderful" fighter jets.

Ireland buying jet fighters and being able to defend our own airspace and not relying constantly for the RAF to save us every time Russia says hi with bombers or fighter jet or war ship that the navy can’t fight off is somehow lunacy I think you showed how little you know 😂

Why does the Republic of Ireland have these aircraft?

I assume we keep these trainer aircraft so that we continue to have experienced pilots whom can fly fighter craft in the air corps so that if the air corps ever equips themselves with jet fighters there are trained pilots whom will know how to use them as opposed to spending extra money to fully train new pilots. Because the only difference between these aircraft and a fighter jet in ability is how high it can fly and its speed.

@@judemorgan9362no the difference is massive you are talking about detection ranges stand off ranges speed radar missiles electronic warfare as well as other active deterrence abilities. At least know what you are on about. Ireland was more capable in the 70s than it is now at least then they had fighter jets.

Ireland is at peace with all nations and has no enemies foreign or domestic so the Irish Defence Forces don't need fighter jets as Ireland is free from the fear of warfare and terrorism. Ireland was neutral during world war two and coasted through it without a care in the world and got through it no problem. Ireland's position geographically the nearest countries to it are Iceland 🇮🇸, Britain 🇬🇧, France 🇫🇷, and the nearest conflict is halfway across the world so Ireland seriously doesn't need fighter jets at all.

But tbh theres no real need, as a neutral country why invest alot into the military if barely any soldiers will get deployed (and I'm not talking about peacekeeping),the only reason why they have an army / defense forces is in the name,to defense ireland and that's it. It's pointless to buy jets if you cant afford their maintenance,fuel,ammo etc
