Now you know how the T2K conflict between Australia and Indonesia would turn. At least you retain the capability to strike Darwin and Port Moresby (and I'm not even sure of that one)
I have a serious question, then. Is there anything on the current warplane market that could have replace them outside of the F-15E? Second hand Tu-22M may be?
