Sounds to me like Finland needs to modernize there military then.


Sounds to me like you dont want to live in the future, in the United States they are called Amish or Pennsylvania Dutch and they still drive around horse drawn carts and dont use electricity or TV or anything. They have never been in a plane. Maybe you should check them out.
 
I like the finnish very much, but jets are quite cool. So there is no need for that development? No need for rocketry? Ohh, Jumala!
By the way... replace Me-262 HG III with HG II (it was build, no project)...
 
The definitive version of the Heinkel He-100, the D-1 serie. This serie finally throw away the evaporation sistem and used a retractable radiator instead.

This little aircraft ( 9,42 wingspan) was 50 km/h faster than Bf-109F2, it had 250 Km more range, the same armament of F-0 and F-1 (2x 7,9+1 MG-FF) and was available.... a year and a half earlier.

Some prototipes was sold to Russia, ans it could be the inspiration for the early v-12 soviet fighters, perversely the Lagg-3 had exactly the same wingspan ( coincidence?)

You know what is funny about that He-100 there. I have an actuall picture of it from the Heinkel factory and it is labeled by them as a He-113. Here it is.

This was the intended denomination for the He-100 until Ernst Heinkel make change it, for supersticion or another reason, wich I dont know.

Another denomination I have seen is He-112U, wich I think refers to Udet.



 

Yeah that is what I have always heard.

And here is some pics of the He-70
