   > On 4 August 2003, the German Air Force accepted its first series production Eurofighter (30+03) starting the replacement process of the Mikoyan MiG-29s inherited from the East German Air Force.
   
   they used Soviet fighters for 20+ years? :kaia_dumb:

     @kaia@brotka.st depends on how you're counting, but the luftwaffe only got them after the annexation of the GDR, and got rid of them all in 2003, so it's not much more than a decade in FRG hands

     @lain @kaia i saw a starfighter during gscon, amazingly thin wings, lockheed engineers really were amazing :blobcateyes:
     that is not to discount lockheed’s sales department which was equally amazing in *convincing* governments to buy their produce :kaia_smug:
