The premise of this thread is that some of the aircraft mentioned here were considered ( or should have been ) by modern airforces ( post 1960) could have entered service but did not for various reasons
We look at what would be the effect if they did and whether this was a better or worse alternative
Also feel free to suggest if any particular aircraft could have been a good fit ( or not ) for a particular airforce and give your reason
e.g
BE Lightning or Mirage III /5 rather than F-104 for luftwaffe
A-7 corsair II and F-5A/E for Pak fizayah in place of F-16s in late 70s
The F-16A/B or F/A-18 in place of Tornado IDS program for luftwaffe
Mirage 4000 for Saudis rather than tornado ADV/F-15
..please feel free to comment and add more to the list
