  5. ''So you think China is now suitably confused?" Its not a matter of choice for the Chinese. Fundamentally, I'm afraid.
  6. The latter makes them "almost invisible to legacy F-15C and F-16 radars" until the aerial merge or until it fires one of its Archer, active radar missiles, the U.S. pilot says. So whats real?Maybe its all a hoax!
  7. Ah,... contrition is a mark of discipline.Commendable! I was just beginning to wonder if history's lessons were for naught.
  8. I'll second that...we are so primitive sometimes it shows!
  9. Yes still at it-Operation Jericho in full swing-problem is I cant make through two missions without getting shot down!
  10. From Ralph Johnson, Air Traffic Controller/Supervisor at Winnipeg Air Traffic Control Center For those that don't know, "The Sled" is the SR-71 Blackbird spy plane from the 1960s and still the fastest airplane on earth. That we know of. I'm sure the government has a few secrets yet! In his book, "Sled Driver", SR-71 Blackbird pilot Brian Shul writes: "I'll always remember a certain radio exchange that occurred one day as Walt (my back-seater) and I were screaming across Southern California 13 miles high. We were monitoring various radio transmissions from other aircraft as we entered Los Angeles airspace. Though they didn't really control us, they did monitor our movement across their scope. I heard a Cessna ask for a readout of its ground speed. "90 knots" Center replied. Moments later, a Twin Beech requested the same. "120 knots, Center answered. We weren't the only ones proud of our ground speed that day as almost instantly an F-18 smugly transmitted, "Ah, Center, Dusty Five-Two requests ground speed readout." There was a slight pause, then the response, "525 knots on the ground, Dusty Five-Two." Another silent pause. As I was thinking to myself how ripe a situation this was, I heard a familiar click of a radio transmission coming from my back-seat...as at that precise moment I realized Walt and I had become a real crew, for we were both thinking in unison. "Center, Aspen Two-Zero, you got a ground speed readout for us?" There was a longer than normal pause.... " Aspen , I show 1,742 knots" (That's about 2,004.658 mph for those who don't know). No further inquiries were heard on that frequency. ----------------------------------------------------------------- In another famous SR-71 story, Los Angeles Center reported receiving a request for clearance to FL 600 (60,000 ft). The incredulous controller, with some disdain in his voice, asked, "How do you plan to get up to 60,000 feet? The pilot (obviously a sled driver), responded, "We don't plan to go up to it; we plan to go down to it." He was cleared.
  11. The golan heights are hell with Wrenches target enhancement.Even the f-15 is vulnerable...
  12. IAF

    Our political history precluded such a possibility but I believe we are working closely on changing that. Also to a certain extent the past dictates the future-we have an affinity for Russian equipment and unless we expand our western wing currently consisting of Mirages and Jaguars, or the U.S offers us something seriously radical, I dont really see my air-force procuring any aircraft from the U.S. If we went to war with China, we would lose;simply because they have a stronger economy.But we could hurt them;the dragon knows that so I dont see a replay of '62 happening.
  13. Its all about the evidence really...and if nothing was found...well its just rock n roll in a whales backyard!
  14. India sinks Somali pirate ship

    At times like this I say shoot the human rights gallery along with the bloody pirates!
  15. India sinks Somali pirate ship

    An act act of piracy against which state???Somalia-ah my friend you have to be be joking right? In any case I think Typhoid spelt out the essentials so I dont have to harangue you with legalese If you have been following the news those waters are infested with those ruthless scum-they'd hold the Pope to ransom or shag a whale to death without a qualm...
  16. Our modders can pull the hood over those guys any day(eg;CA_Stary's WOV mod)!But Ill concede the graphics are good-would have to actually play it before I can really pass any judgment
  17. India sinks Somali pirate ship

    Those pirates shouldnt be chased away;they ought to be shot and sunk!
