    This all depends on the slot of the plane. If it’s directly connected to the terminal, you can exit from the front only. If it’s free standing and you need to walk over the tarmac or take a bus to the terminal, you can disembark from the rear because then they will open the rear exit as well. Ironically this means that with budget flights you disembark faster because they don’t tend to pay for the premium slots that are directly at a terminal.

    The type of plane, whether it’s a 737 or A320 or whatever, rarely matters.




















  • Yes, this is the sane take on this. Some weapon systems and ammunition are simply not available from European weapons manufacturers. Buying from the US is sometimes the only option until a European variant has been developed. It’s not as if the European MIC is going to catch up with all modern warfare technology in a matter of months. It takes years to develop a working system (like an MLRS for intercepting ballistic missiles) and some more years to set up a robust supply chain and start producing.
