The next version of the F-10 Shark, the SNG, has now been delayed until 2118 following software and system integration issues during development and early testing. Around 50 SNGs will eventually be built to finally allow the NS to withdrawn its remaining (and ageing) F-10A fighters.
The delay means the F-10A will likely remain in service until 2120 though following the ASE update a few years ago its systems are said to still be "competitive" and the airframes should last. Its role is mainly to carry TPM-As these days.
The delay however also means that NS plans to upgrade older versions of the F-10S, the S baseline and SIM to SEP standard have also been put on hold to ensure sufficient airframes remain available for operational commitments.
