I seem to revel in contention? Look in the mirror my friend. Perhaps next time you spot a "fastest bomber" discussion you won't jump in with irrelevant arguments about stealth? We don't need your lectures on stealth; it's not a new concept.

If we were to have a dragster related discussion I bet you'd chime in saying "Yeah well F1 cars can TURN!". :rolleyes:

Sadly we only have 400.000 ewes left in the country and they're scattered all over the place.

Then on to speed vs stealth.

Speed brings a problem with design and maintenance. So does stealth. They're just different.

A really really high speed, - like the upper speed of the cold-war era russian fighters puts a hih demand on airframe and skin. A little bump in heading means enourmous G's, and the air friction is heating the airframe enourmously.
And a total stealth aircraft needs a shape that's not entirely aerodynamic, it needs a skin, and it needs to cover the IR.
So it's a matter of scoice.

And Viking: I think you are Scholzie. I don't know where exactly You/Scholzie lost it on the boards enough to be banned (I don't know the thread or issue) but sure enough, the quote on that interception is the same as his.
So either you are Scholzie (in which case I say hello and how are you doing ;)), or that particular interception is the hottest thing in Norway for years.

I was away from this board for the better part of a couple of years. I have no idea if/why gscholz was banned. He did seem to take much as a personal affront or challenge though.

Angus. All I can say is that Skuzzy has laid down the law:

Let's stop the witch hunt folks.  Leave that to us. :)


However if I was gscholz I'd respond: Hi Angie, I'm fine. Thanks for asking! All well up in Iceland? :)

I see 8 posts (including another message by you) between Raider's last post and your reply above.  Your message was immediately below Lukster's stealth bomber, so...  uh, you might want to re-read the thread.

So when a comparison of US and Russian bombers and fighters is made I'm not allowed to post a pic of the world's premier bomber (imo) and a catchy tune without it being a challenge to your post Viking?

Don't take everything so personal, you'll live longer.

Look. Russian Fighters can still beat American Aircraft. If russia wanted we would upgrade even more and pass the US once again.

1. Russian migs can "Beam" an american aircraft for a missile lock and FIRE before the American is in range, and trust me these missiles are tricky buggers RK-73 :)

2. Practically every Russian fighter can outturn and do even more depending on the pilot compared to american craft.

3. We have more VTOL aircraft

4. We don't exactly need stealths we don't need to worry if we wanted one we would make it.

5. All American spy planes have been shot down, no matter how high, stealth or not.

6. Russia basically also has nukes ya know, the ammount is insane, start war, on day 2, Bush will be dead. Or whomever started it. Sure the US has nukes and such, but about a fraction of what Russia does
