I am not sure if the AMX was a official MAIW package or not, but I do know the AI model was made. So if you have them installed you can delete them. Italy retired the planes on April 5th.

Yes, original Osan AB 2.0 released with RWAI A-10s, then "mins" did come nice weathered 25th FS repaints for the JYAI model. As I keep an updated sim, I'm reluctantly removing A-10s as they slowly retire.

RoCAF F-5 Tiger IIs decommissioned

On 4 July 2025, the Republic of China Air Force (RoCAF, Taiwan Air Force) officially decommissioned its F-5 Tiger II aircraft. The ceremony marked the end of 60 years of F-5 operations in Taiwan.

To commemorate the occasion, five Northrop RF-5E/F-5F Tiger II reconnaissance and fighter aircraft took to the skies for one final flight over Hualien Air Base and along Taiwan’s east coast. Upon their return, the aircraft taxied beneath a ceremonial water salute before being parked and escorted into the hangars.

The F‑5 series entered service with the RoCAF in 1965, initially serving as frontline air defence fighters. Local assembly under the “Tiger Peace Project” began in 1973, with Taiwan eventually assembling up to 308 aircraft, making it the world’s largest F‑5 operator at its peak.

The retirement of the F-5 was officially announced by the Minister of National Defence on 11 June 2025. The aircraft are currently being replaced by the AT-5 Brave Eagle Advanced Jet Trainer (AJT), marking a significant step in Taiwan’s air force modernisation.

The five aircraft involved were:

F-5F: 5398 and 5413
RF-5E: 5504, 5505 and 5507

AI Boeing KC-135R Stratotanker - French AF (MGAI/MAIW)

You can remove all C-135FR/KC-135RG. French Air & Space Force remove all of them. ( https://militaryaiworks.com/download-ha ... eling.html )

French Air and Space Force bids farewell to the KC-135RG

On 30 June 2025, during a ceremony at Base Aérienne 125 (BA125) Istres/Le Tubé, the Armée de l'Air et de l'Espace (AAE, French Air and Space Force) officially retired its last KC-135RG Stratotanker.

The KC-135RG was second-hand acquired from the USAF in the late 1990s, while earlier C-135F models had been delivered to France between 1964 and 1965. These aircraft were upgraded to C-135FR standard between 1985 and 1988, receiving CFM International F108 turbofans and later fitted with MPRS (Multi-Point Refueling System) wing pods. The first C-135FR was withdrawn from service in October 2020, with the final aircraft retired in December 2023.

The official retirement of the KC-135RG roughly coincided with the delivery of the 13th A330MRTT "Phénix" Multi-Role Tanker Transport to the 31e Escadre Aérienne de Ravitaillement et de Transport Stratégiques (EARTS, Strategic Airlift and Air Refueling Wing). This aircraft is one of three A330s purchased under the 2020 government plan to support the aviation industry and converted into tankers. Two of these were acquired second-hand from the airline Avianca.

However, the KC-135RG has not yet flown its final mission. One aircraft will participate in the 14 July Bastille Day parade over the Champs-Élysées. Additionally, the three KC-135RGs and eleven former C-135FRs will continue flying under the Metrea banner, a US company operating former AAE aircraft.

The A330MRTTs of the 31st EARTS will be progressively upgraded to Standard 2, which includes enhanced self-protection systems and the MELISSA high-throughput satellite station. This upgrade will transform them into airborne command and control nodes capable of supporting complex air operations.
