  1. maybe not quit as old ,but something you dont see any more
  2. it was even published in the stars and strips that that was the reason Delta was assigned the mission,,and the US promissed the assigment of Delta,and to built two kabbutz,as long as IDF forces didnot leave the border of Israel. Cortary to the statement that any attack on Israel would result in a like response on the attacker. Think I even still have that issue I brought alot of the back with me when we returned,Even have the one on the AC-130 that when down around that time and all SOI where considered compromised.
  3. Delta was assigned to hunt scuds at the request of Israel in "payment" for not entering the war once they were attacked during "STORM" Due to the fear that IAF forces would split the coalition, SOFD was sent asap. January 18 First Scuds hit Israel. Navy aircraft losses during attack on Scud sites leads to recriminations about low-altitude bombing tactics. First American air attacks are launched from Turkey. January 19 David Eberly and Thomas Griffith are shot down. January 20 Lawrence Eagleburger and Paul Wolfowitz arrive in Tel Aviv. January 22 Navy attacks Iraqi oil tanker, triggering Schwarzkopf's threat of court-martial. British high command, alarmed at aircraft losses, abandons low-altitude attacks against airfields. January 23 Intense attack against Iraqi aircraft shelters begins. January 26 U.S. Marines in Oman participate in Sea Soldier IV, rehearsal for amphibious landing on Kuwaiti coast. F-111s attack oil manifolds at Al Ahmadi in effort to counter Iraqi sabotage. January 29 Iraqis attack Khafji and other border positions. Allied pilots begin flying combat air patrols to thwart Iraqi flights to Iran. January 30 Richard Cheney dispatches Delta Force to Saudi Arabia to hunt for Scuds.
  4. digi pattern is far from new,we had them during Desert Storm ,the "desert parka"was general issue to all ground troops back in the 90's(it was meet with mixed results) Below the marpat that was mentioned prior

  10. Drunk logic is something aint it
  11. lol kill dem clouds,
  12. bookmarked it to my colloetion of AC vids thank you for posting
  13. Reality it probly higher,from 70 to now Ive seen it alot. It was so bad in the 70 the military had EO officers (equal oppertunity) to curb racial problems. In Texas in the military I still see alot directed at Latin Americans.
  14. this is nothing new the IDF always rehurse for actions on any threat,as do we. Trust me we have plans to,we may just hand over current intel we gather and do a "target handoff" as we call it,but things are almost at the ready on any know "problem"
  15. while deployed I run it all the time came back before WOI was released,but played SFP,WOE,WOV AND HAD NO PROBLEMS. BUT ON SOME SYSTEMS YOU MAY HAVE TO DIAL DOWN THE EYE CANDY. I have enjoyed it alot on laptops. May want toget externel hard drive though as meny lack space.
  16. "Raptor squadrons are having a difficult time scheduling training missions - why? The Eagle, Viper and Hornet squadrons just have a tough time justifying TDY's and the flights out to the training area to time and time again just receive the radio call "You're dead, return to back for the debreif". Mike" And speaking as one hows Militery tour spans 1972 to current if that where true SF,SEAL,RANGERS,DELTA and the like couldent get training,the US Gov will always train it latest hottest equipment no matter how mush it demorlizes the OPFOR unit (example when the M-1 tank came out at the time it was what the Raptor is the AC now When US ran out of OPFOR stateside,they went to other countries,and the US forced won all the C.A.T. trophies. then the Canadians,and Germans just got better) More current example We wear the most advanced body armor in the world,and I NEVER SAW an INSERJENT in anything but reguler clothing,and we still take hits.
  17. look ppl I dont care how advanced a weapon is it ALWAYS THE MAN RUNNING IT that matters in most cases,We have the most advanced equipment if the world,but we lose ppl,and equipment to primitives,but primitives with heart ,and convection. For the "movies warriors" remember the Flight of the Intruder all that advanced Aircraft ,and a sinlgle shot muzzle loader nailed th Co-pilot.(sorry if I boched some spelling mypain meds kicked in big time :))
  18. put a sloppy tired pilot in a Raptor,and a fresh sh--hot pilot ihn anything ,and thr raptor still better watch or he will end up salvage

  25. After the Suez war Egypt got replacements for its losses during the war and in 1958 the EAF became super sonic when it purchased Mig-19 fighters. Also in 1961 the EAF joined the mach 2 club when it ordered the Mig-21 fighters. In this period also the EAF purchased its Tu-16 bombers and As-1 kennel air to ground missiles and during this period the Yemen war took place where the EAF made a lot of transport missions and some ground attack missions using armed light prop trainers. In late 1966 Egypt received its first batch of Su-7 ground attack fighters. Also in this period Egypt started its aerospace industrial plan and Ha-100 primary trainers and Ha-200 advanced trainers were built and entered service, although the Ha-300 fighter programme was going on the arousal of financial problems seized the project. It was 8:45 in the morning of the 5th of June 1967 the Israeli air attack started and in less than 3 hours Egypt lost more than 227 military airplanes on the ground. The Egyptian reaction was so tough but in fact it came to late and due to its high losses the EAF couldn't change mush of the course of the war. In six days of fighting the Egyptian air force flow a lot of sorties in both air to air and air to ground missions and scored more than 25 aerial victories and it destroyed a lot of Israeli ground targets. In the end of the war the EAF succeeded by the help of the air defense in downing about 72 IAF fighters. During the war a lot of Egyptian pilots made heroic actions made a great effort to prevent the IAF from entering the Egyptian air space and trying to guard the returning Egyptian armies. Algeria sent some Mig-21 fighters to support the EAF and some were downed in combat. The EAF conducted some long range attack missions against Israel itself using Il-28 bombers, but most of these missions failed and at least one Il-28 was shot down in combat. Between 1967 and 1970 it was not a period of peace for the EAF. The EAF went in a large construction plan to build air bases to increase its survivability and for the first time in its history the EAF planned and made a lot aggressive attack mission and it all first began when Egyptian Mig-17 escorted by Mig-21 fighters flew massive destructive attacks on the Israeli positions along the Suez canal in the 14th of July 1967 only one month after the six day war. During this period also Egypt received replacements for its loses during the six day war. The EAF was the first branch of the Egyptian army to return back to the war. Flying photoreconnaissance missions and attack missions all over Sinai using hit and run tactics the EAF regained its self-confidence. And proved its self as a tough foe for the IAF. Beginning of 1969 the battle of Egypt rely began when the Egyptian air defense forces (EADF) began deploying its Sam sites along the Suez Canal. Israel lunched an air campaign to destroy Egyptian air defense network using its newly supplied F-4E phantoms so the Egyptians had no option and their fighters engaged the Israelis in devastating air battles were the Egyptian fighters scored a lot of victories including the shoot down of the first F-4E over the north of the gulf of Suez in the 9th of December 1969. Following this Israelis began deep strike missions ending this period with the electronic summer of 1970 were the EADF succeeded in downing more than 13 Israeli fighters in one week. One of the most important events of the war of attrition was the battle of Egypt when Egyptian fighters were the only defense of Egypt against the Israeli deep striking missions, during these days Egyptian fighters went in large air battles against attacking Israelis and shot down more than 50 enemy fighters in less than 2 weeks. Also some Russian fighters pilots were sent to Egypt to support the Egyptian crew and they did a great work although some of them were killed in air battles with the Israelis. Although the EAF lost large some of equipments and personal it configured out its problems and needs and gained experience which helped the EAF to have the upper hand during 1973 war. ref: http://www.angelfire.com/nb/eaf/history.html http://www.geocities.com/egyptianairforce/history.html THEY DONT DENY IT THEY TOOK OUT ALMOST 300 aircraft ON THE GROUND ALONE
