  1. I will Sue Disney for stealing ideas: ;)
  2. the fans reaction are better than the trailer itself :D
  3. hah, Ironically that might actually sell more than the F-35, a USN fighter. The articles assumption about the PAK-FA, in particular the J-20 maybe wrong (too much speculation performance wise) but the emphasis on AA pretty much closes the circle begun 40 years ago with the TOMCAT, the first agile of the teen series in an era dominated by interceptors and bombers.
  4. The F-35 is not a vertical upgrade to the F-16. The F-35 may overlap the F-16 in some mission roles, however they are very fundamentally different aircraft for different missions profiles. Of the 26 countries using the F-16, most will have to look somewhere else for a more direct replacement.
  5. That photo shows wingtip AMRAAM's, That's news to me, the other variants are being tested with pylons only.
  6. F-22 program now consists only in the maintenance of the surviving fleet as the production run was cut short and cancelled. If you look at current and future combat aircraft programs youll see they are all focussed away to other roles.
  7. The USAF trend cycle is back at bombing as it was in the 60's. Less emphasis on high performance dogfighters, light fighters are out of the picture, fortunately there are European alternatives.
  8. The news pretty much all over the new anyhoo. The Rafale finally getting the overdue export orders.
  9. It's a famous photo as it shows up on every F-15 book.
  10. It always make some difference but not enough to avoid the renovation of the fleet by more modern hulls.
  11. PoAF has carried Litening AT's for the Baltics policing during NATO/VVS massed intercepts outbreak for the same reason. It works.
  12. The Su-35 is not exactly cheap either. Only the older more basic models remain competitive in price.
  13. Su-35 is an awesome upgrade form the soviet era Su-27S, but is not anything special compared to some of its counterparts to the left side of the globe. The emergence of the Su-50 makes sense if the AA capability is to be maintained in RuAF for the next few decades.
  14. They will spread the acquisitions longer through the years, no word of hard factual fleet reductions. It seems the only sane reactions to a slowing economy, much like everyone else has done.
  15. Ormuz DCS F-18 VEAO Eurofighter Leatherneck F-14A/B Might plunge to Korea and WWII as well, but at the time undecided.
  16. You mean rubbery sleeve?
  17. I leave again an appeal that missile sensor and flight models (aircraft ones as well) are in urgent need of fixing/tuning. It's been a looooong wait without flying. :(
  18. oh wow, Star wars anime! PN_CP4SuoTU
  19. If you were expecting Sammy Hagar... well your going to be disappointed...or not. :) here's a birds eye view go pro flight from the world tallest tower in Dubai. Sit back and enjoy! 6g95E4VSfj0 Commented version: 4uJnivXGy0k
  20. Please do not insist on misleading info. You can Overclock with earlier chipsets using the CPU multiplier alone.
  21. ^^^^not necessarily, check my sig.
  22. I have this combo, the 2500K remains a force to be reckoned with. Butter smooth gaming on this side. :)
  23. Shit hot pilot both in fiction and RL. beat that. :)
  24. You just made a good point about your own post. :) You can make sense of them while you sit calmly on your couch. How about doing it by memory while pushing switches at gun point? :)
