mc honkey = 62namnug?

anyway, i have a weird attraction to the su27 and 33. the r73 missiles which have the capibility to be fired from a high angle using the headmounted target system are a blast. im gonna buy track IR just simply for that feature.

As for the Gripen- only the South Africans have purchased it.


Havnt read the whole thread but i reflected upon this.... Purchase and purchase... They were given so much bribes that they almost got it for free...

LOL!

Which air force is buying F-15's or F-16's? Last I heard only Israel have bought F-15E's, and Greece opted to buy some used F-16's as an interim measure until the Eurofighter or JSF becomes available. Upgrading your air force nowadays it's all about Eurofighters, Rafaels, Gripens and Sukhois.


While that may be true, the quality of the pilot will be the weakness....are you saying that Euro pilots are more skilled than USAF or Navy jocks?

Does it have backfire R-72s for the russians? I loved that in Fighters Anthology online, coldmerge weapons free after pass, then a kill 2 seconds later.

Russian hardware is for some third world army that can’t afford American or Euro equipment.

When I want to outfit a band of terrorists I’ll go out and buy RPG’s and Ak-47’s.

When I want to outfit an Air Force I go buy F-15’s and F-16’s.


Nobody gives a crap eh? Then why, pray tell, are we spending over 400 billion on defense--about 7 times what the Russians  can afford. Paranioa?

Also, unless you're brain dead, you'd understand that military purchases are motivated as much by politics as they are by quality. More countries want to be on our side than not(and I'm by no means saying this is a bad thing). Buying American weapons says a great deal about your allegiance. Buying weapons other than American says something else, and those who do are in a shrinking minority.

If the Chinese wanted to swallow their pride, they could buy all the f-16s they need. It's the swallowing that they're trying to avoid.

GScholz,

  Look.  My Dad is a defense contractor who has lived in Saudi and I've been there and seen the Saudi F-15's in person.  Not everyone can afford the F-15.  It ain't cheap and they don't take cupons.  Hell all you need to buy a Mig29 is a case of Voka and a carton of American Cigarettes.

All this doesn't matter anyway because we all know that Putin or Chirac would personally blow George Bush for a F-22 or B-2.  Let's all settle down now.

My dad's a surgeon and I've been in the operating room as an observer, doesn't mean I know how to pull a bullet out of somebody's brain. Saudi Arabia may be a rich country, but they're also trying to maintain, albeit on the very surface, a good relationship with us. Like I said before, the Chinese have more then enough funds for American Weapons.

BTW, ABBA is Swedish, those things you put on your feet to go down a snowy hill are SKIIS  and the clear liquid you drink is spelled 'VODKA' (there's a d in it). Master those facts first before moving onto more serious topics.

I have a question: Does your brain require breathing and blood circulation to be a conscious act? If so, I suggest you sit back and let your mind wander for a few hours.
