Proceeds to pop open the windscreen & throw half empty can’s of Dutch gold at the warships while the passenger does mooner’s
It shoots chicken fillet roles out of those cannons btw.
Probably too slow for modern air to air missiles to lock on, isn’t this a Simpson’s joke?
Be great for Russian target practice
It would be like pulling up to a F1 race in a Yaris
It is manufactured in Leitrim, where they only recently learned that WW2 finished, thanks to developments of a technology called “WiFi” or something like that.
We still have the kite of course.
It’s s training airplane. Training for what, I do not know.
I absolutely bet we don’t even have the means to fully arm an aircraft, let alone reload one, not to mention fuel the fecking thing
1 of 3 vs 15000+
Why would we worry about Russia anyway? They’re trying to piss off the brits, nothing more.
Our military is truly pathetic, we can’t even detect enemy aircraft, because we don’t have radar.
Are we boned?
Looks cute
Forget how shit our equipment is, we don’t even pay the people who serve and use it. We need to increase spending to raise wages just as much to acquire new equipment.
Build and support staff an aerodrome for agreed EU nations aircraft to use for training and en route refueling. West coast. They get Atlantic coast facilities. We get aerial detetrent. Boggers get jobs. Dublin gets fewer boggers.
any time we do a military airshow flyby i have to look away
One of the best CAS aircraft out there. Or so the propaganda poster told me.
Prepare to engage enemy… bogey’s airspeed not sufficient for intercept. Suggest we get out and walk.
There are eight of these in Irish inventory iirc, they have little rocket pods mounted on the sides. They’re neat, but not exactly current-gen fighter craft (not that we need them)
Shaped like a friend
You will rue the day you posted this when you need a flock of seagulls eliminated.. RUE I tell you!
Thought this had the Canadian Tire logo on it
Would’ve been awesome 70 years ago.
Even if we only wanted CAS aircraft their are much better options than this out there
A batch of our most pissed off seaguls would do more damage than this thing…

People complain and laugh at our military but they wouldn’t enjoy the tax increase necessary to revamp our military.
Don’t worry just a temp tax until we have a dozen destroyer ships and a stealth bomber. Sounds great
Twin stroke legend
Huh, didnt know Ireland had an Air Force. Well I bet they have a robust navy since its an island after all.

Oh no.
Sweet Jesus! What’s the best way to hurt people using that?
Pick it up and hit them with it?
I actually wouldn’t object to Ireland buying a genuine fighter jet, I lived abroad for a year near an air base and found fighter jets going over very cool.
Has anyone told Russia that Ireland now has an army of the dead?
It’s actually a great aircraft. It’s not meant to be son serious deterrent.
In the event of invasion, we should just commandeer Ryanair’s fleet.
Loyalist bonfire engineers must have been in charge of the flag stickers.
to be fair its kind of imprssive the weapons they have manage to put on the miltary cessna
Prop planes against MiGGs, Look out Vladimir
Military.ie classify the Pilatus PC-9m as the main training aircraft of Ireland. But it’s also the only armed aircraft of Ireland. Therefore Ireland has no official fighters fighters.. just 6 training aircraft.
We have a secret weapon… We will put spuds in their exhausts.
I’m sure I’m completely wrong in this analogy, but I can only equate the idea of Russia attacking us is being like if the major powers were a few lads having a fight outside a pub, and one of them just turned around and lamped a passing aul one for no reason.
Fun fact: in the event of a war, there is an agreement in place that the raf can patrol and defend Irish airspace.
