They will build it.

Rafale, just as the Eurofighter, are designs from the 80’ies. Yes, combat proven, but in 20-30 years obsolete. It is like buying a Ford Mondeo Diesel 2.0 TDI today. Perfect for today, outdated in 10 years. F35 is bugged with problems (such as the A400M, BTW) today. Belgian Defence is wise not to ...

Lockheed Martin thinks differently:

Lockheed Martin and the Belgian military and industry have a longstanding working relationship, partnering on programs such as the C-130 Hercules and F-16 Fighting Falcon since the 1970s.

Lockheed Martin continues to actively work with Belgian industry on ...

Just compare the times when the different jets were designed. Lots of 'previous generation' designs. The Rafale for example was designed in the late 1970's(!).

So yes, the F-35 is the most advanced. It would be plain stupid for Belgium to buy a previous generation fighter in 2018. It's like buying ...

You mean the most expensive to buy and operate, the less efficient, the one which will bring the least to the belgian economy and the one which is still far from being ready?

Yeah, definitely the most "advanced"...

It all will depend on economic compensations. The F-35 keeps its chances more than ever.

With the supply chain and factory network already set up, I can't see in which ways the F-35 has more chances than ever...

The belgian factories which are working in the aeronautical field have already said ...

I hope the Desiro trains will be a bit better than the Siemens trains which are used where I live. They are among the worst, most uncomfortable trains I have been on in Britain, and they are used on long distance services. Truly horrible things.

I hope your Desiro trains will be better than the ...

This was the train from BRU into Brussels we caught last September. It consisted of two carriage units, which filled up in BRU, as you would expect, with people carrying lots of luggage. There was no proper luggage space between seats like you get on some trains and it was crammed, it was quite ...

It wouldn't, unless you find a way to let a train go directly from Brussels-South to Brussels National Airport and vice versa without using the North-South connection and without having to turn back. Especially Fyra and IC trains are already very slow, so you don't want them to make an extra stop ...
