The
DDS Air Force has published a document called "
Airforce 2120" which outlines the plans for procurement over the next 10 years in offensive manned and unmanned aviation (excluding man-portable UAVs). Projected force strengths for the various aircraft types show an increase on current orders. An intention to keep a rump of the legacy
F-10A force for air defence duties has also been revealed. The current
F-10ASE programme will keep them flying to around 2122 but after that they will likely have to be replaced, perhaps by the follow-on fighter to the
F-10S. No details of that have yet been given however.
