    @Rajveer Singh - For Colombia? First, it isn't going to happen since they are allied with the U.S. and their adversary, Venezuela, already operates the Su-30MK2. Colombia needs a lightweight-but-deadly multirole plane that can serve a counterinsurgency and close air support role while also being able to intercept Flankers if necessary in the case of aggression or some sort of airspace incursion from the south. The three planes I named would be the best choices. The Eurofighter would provide the most sheer power and a dissimilar foe for the Flankers to the south, the F-16V is probably the best multirole bang for the buck and supports a cozy relationship with Washington, and a Gripen purchase would likely be able to give them the largest number of units if they could piggyback on Brazil's purchase and have them built by Embraer in-continent. If Colombia was ever truly in need of heavy air superiority fighters, it would likely be in a situation where the USAF have an F-22 or F-15 presence to support its ally and destroy Maduro's AF all at once.

    @Rajveer Singh - Huh? Actually one of the main issues India and many other clients have had with the Sukhois is the lack of a reliable chain of replacement parts and support - and being brought into Russia's sphere of influence is a scary prospect, given its support of Maduro and other authoritarian regimes across the world. The F-16 is proven in combat, parts are abundant worldwide and there is already a positive allied relationship with the USA that can be made even greater. Oh, and it's "Colombia." ;)

    @@Patriot2609 ohh sure man, i mean the Kfir is a late 1970´s early 1980´s jet that´s about 50 yrs in service world wide about the same time the F15 has been around (a lil less actually). off course this Kfirs are different, Colombian Airforce payed quite an extensive modernization programme, the jet itself is a late 3rd generation fighter (way better than a Mirage III/V or an A4 but not as good at dogfight as a Mirage 2000 or an F16) but the avionics and combat systems are easily 4.5 gen worthy making this Kfirs (Colombian C10/Block60) are nowadays the most advanced Kfirs currently in service worldwide. they are barely capable at dogfight yet awesome at BVR, thats one of the reasons the USAF invited them to REDFLAG so they could test the state of the art Israeli weapons systems against the american F16 Block50 Lockheed-Martin Weapons systems. results were as expected, the F16 is way better at CQC/Dogfighting yet the Kfirs mopped the floor with the F16 BK50 at BVR. those jets were tailored in order to fight against Venezuelan Sukhoi SU30 :D if someday Colombia and Venezuela engage we will get to see Israeli tech vs Russian tech... and my money is on the Israeli tech! ohhh bro, BTW, yes the cockpit resembles a lot Israeli F16 Barak because it has almost the same avionics and combat systems... IDK about the Raptor man, all the tech inside those old sexy ladies is from Israel not the US. best regards bro, is nice to see another enthusiast loving this classics. have a great one!
