boroda, reading your posts makes me understand how the soviet and nazi regimes remained in power.

do you truly believe that the soviets, wanting to have their  mig21 frontline fighters tested in combat against the American planes, would rely only on reports from the North Vietnamese pilots?
that they wouldn't want to test their own pilots against the americans?


hey, would you like to buy some land on Jupiter?

If they were there and scored some kills - I'll be proud of them. I just don't have any evidence. All I have read so far were fiction or some sick fantasies.

Этот Хуйну меня и сбил. It's a quote from a Russian joke about Soviet pilots in Vietnam.

So how about selling me some piece of ocean beach in Minnesota?


How about some lake front property? Say on Lake Superior? The great lakes are large enough to simulate an ocean :)

No salt needed or wanted. Would kill off all the fresh water fish. Then we would have PETA and other organizations screaming, crying and gnashing their teeth for decades. No thanks :)

I hope that my sentence in Russian above is as confusing for you as your offer was to me.  


This Хуйну also has brought down me

I didn't know that there were F-102s in Vietnam.

You watched that show on discovery then you saw how deadly the wild weasels became at their job.

I can just picture these SAM operators firing off salvo's of SAM's then shutting of their radar when weasel's are coming in and then claiming kills so that they dont get shot for turning their radars off.


I don't have discovery. Anyway their historical programms are like comic books :(

Are you aquainted with SAM tactics?

My Uncle was severely wounded by one of the first Shrikes. They understood how to deal with them pretty soon.

Good, echeloned SAM defence is very hard to beat. Weasels were killed in ambushes just like other planes. Using one launcher as a bait against bait and then shredding weasels with Shilkas was just one of the tactics successfully used.

Also please don't forget that S-75 is... hmmm... I can call it "mobile". In Syria Soviet crews used only 3-4 trucks to hunt, manual tracking. Uncle said they worked mostly on manual tracking too.

:D

Boroda must be quite naive to think anything the communist regime reported was actually accurate. The system was and still is without doubt the most corrupt chain of lies known to man.


Siaf,
are you a punk ?

I totally agree that these BBS has began to look like a toilet hole for some wise guys who post here irrelevant hateful crap.

What's their point ? If somebody wants to start a respectful hate dialogue (not the hate monologue) I'll be glad to join and have some fun. But there's no need to stick their tongues into ANY conversation here.

Jack, the Soviets really started the fire on the Sun, but got burnt by the sun rays (see the USSR coat of arms). Another true fact is that the Soviet people built the Moon in order to capture American astronauts and put them into the Moony labour camps guarded by NKVD space corps.

On the other end we can see the USA claiming to have built the Egyptian pyramids and NOVO ORDO SECLORUM but loosing the Big Eye in the process (you just check a one dollar bill).
