And how would they be better from Slovak and Czech ones? Which they are getting rid of. No, they aren't better than T-90's. They have worse armor than T-72B, and they still have better versions of the 125mm than PT-97 would have.
It would be throwing good money after bad. The facts are we have no MBT composite armor technology, and we can only get up to date with that through a co-production deal with K2 or something like that. And without it, we can only make obsolete MBTs, so what's the point. So that our army can have obsolete MBTs for the price of new ones and our politicians can pat themselves on the back about how stronk our industry is?
Why go make deals with them, adding politics and complexity (not very pro-western country), when we already have a good deal and a similar model in K9.
For who? It would be Su-25 for poor people. We could sell them to third world, maybe, but a lot of countries make similar planes, like Czech L-159 - they sold it to Iraq, and it also doubles as a trainer. Just 100 made. Not a good business idea.
And that's all on the back of worldwide popular L-39 trainer, almost 3k sold during Cold War, yet Czechs don't have any plans for completely new developments in even the same area. For comparison our Iskra, of similar class, sold only 424.
Ironically, Americans have made a much better plane under a similar concept and the same name.
Except no one bought it yet...
Can our shipyards make them up to standards, and cheaper than Spain (yes, they are built in Spain)? If not, what are we going to do with the license? We don't need many corvettes, we can put the license in a frame and stick it on the desk of a shipyard director or something.
