bumfire Posted August 19, 2010 Posted August 19, 2010 Oh man, I miss the times where I could discuss these things with more knoelegeble people. wheres Alfa? Today poeple just post the first thing that comes to their mind without information and divert off topic when confronted. Sometimes I feel like beating the same old dead horse over again. It has been wearing me down... so dont feel surprised I dont come back to re-re-re-re-re-reply against same old ignorant posts... Pilotasso, you have to reply, if only to keep "Grooves OT Dump" thread alive :) But I can understand why you wouldnt want to reply, must get annoying repeating the same thing over and over again.

ED Team Groove Posted August 19, 2010 ED Team Posted August 19, 2010 I have facts. One fact for example was that there is a plane which was flying faster with externals than a Mig-25 or MiG-31. Another fact is that the Mig-25 wasn't cooled with VODKA but industrial high grade alcohol. Facts and opinion are not the same, im sure you know that. :thumbup: Our Forum Rules: http://forums.eagle.ru/rules.php#en

GGTharos Posted August 19, 2010 Posted August 19, 2010 I don't think SA-2 was ever a real threat to the SR-71 according to some of the stuff I've seen. The SA-2 footprint was shrunk so much by the SR-71's speed that the SR-71 only needed to turn a few degrees to be outside of the SA-2's attack zone.

The SA-2 footprint was shrunk so much by the SR-71's speed that the SR-71 only needed to turn a few degrees to be outside of the SA-2's attack zone. There were extra sorties flewn towards Cuba by special planes to get the radar signature of the SA-2 radar to feed it into SR-71s ECM Jammer(s). The SA-2 sites were avoided whenever possible on sorties in Asia. Our Forum Rules: http://forums.eagle.ru/rules.php#en
exec Posted August 19, 2010 Posted August 19, 2010 Stories by pilots are just that - stories. Yeah, sure what can they know? They surely have no clue about operations in which they took part. So either they are just making things up or just lying, right?
