Who has the fastest warplane? Russia tests another supersonic T-50 fighter. - CSMonitor.com
650 billion re-armement plan in line for Russia. Shiny.
Them dying makes u smile?
No. Its just that the Russian's still have poor training for the soldiers. Until they can teach them how to fight in a battlefield they would not win against an enemy like that of France, Uk, USA or even China. China has the numbers to send many of its men to death. Russia does not anymore. So they need better training which is comparable to the USA. Which I don't see in the near future that happening.
Wait...is the T-50 supposed to be any different from the PAK FA?
Awesome! I wonder where they got the idea? BTW, I think the Russians are more concerned about the Chinese than us. We don't share a 3500 KM border with the former "Evil Empire".
Of course, there is no way those Ruskies could come up with anything on their own. All that vodka has rendered half of the country clinically brain dead after all. :roll:
I don't see whats so brilliant about basic. :shrug:
You do realize that basic training is called "basic" for a reason, right? its not as if you learn all there is about warfighting, or even being an infantryman in basic training.
Big thing to understand about most warplanes: they are simply a platform to carry and deploy weapons. The key is in the avionics and the weapons, and to the best of my knowledge in both areas the US has significant advantages. The F-14 used to be the key naval air superiority aircraft due to it being the only aircraft capable of carrying pheonix missiles with their > 100 mile range, but when AAMRAAM started getting ranges of over 100 km, it was disposable and quickly retired.
Hmm I hadn't known that...learn something new every day! Then again, to my knowledge many people think the Hornets/Super Hornets that we use now have short legs.
They used to have short legs when I worked on them. Triple drop tank to do anything, and then still needing a K-6. I understand the E/F is better, but no personal experience.
Did I miss something? Did someone suggest otherwise?
Are you asking if someone suggested the Russians ripped off the United States?
Who has the fastest warplane?
Simple speed is not always going to beat agility, low radar profile and the systems backing them up. In the 1980's the Mig-25 was known for its speed but I don't remember it rating highly for its agility and ability in dogfights.
Yes.
10 character limit.

Did you read the post I quoted? :roll:
