Or in case that isn't enough of a tease of Nihon hitori 2020 for you... The President of Japan's supposedly closest ally doesn't get a Yen unless it's to sell weapons and a Ruble only when building towers & funding sexcapades in Moscow. So Japan is truly alone against the world for the first time since the summer of 1945. But Japan unlike those dark days ending in two judicious blinding flashes as payback for Nanking & Pearl Harbor has now a deep stockpile of fuel & weapons with well-trained pilots & maintainers. It's up to the 201st and 203rd Squadrons of F-15Js to hold the Northern line against the Red Tide until F-2s and F-35Js arrive to bomb the Flanker bases to oblivion or a diplomatic outcome can be reached - and highly unlikely any substantial help is coming.

One possibility how Nihon hitori 2020 begins over the Kuril Islands... Clearly over Hokkaido Island and got busted attempting a preemptive strike A SU-30 Flanker dispenses flares for a few more seconds of life A F-15J of 201 SQN returns to a Forward Operating Base Safely back

Since the thread says Sukhois - stupid question but I gotta ask: Are you going beyond Fitters to Flankers because I suspect your Flankers will be of high quality? Because in the 2Q or 3Q of 2019, I want to get serious about working on a Japan vs. Russia 2020 campaign over the Kuril Islands. Thanks.

Just got into a Kuril Islands dogfight in some F-15Js... why? Because I could and it's my next project after my Gripen project. Obviously Flankers would be added to this project very early on. With President Trump stepping on the gas to neo-isolationism and the Russians going expansionist, this just very well might happen... in 2020 or 2021.

I took a JF-17 out for a spin to see what it's like at the opposing end...

The Joint Attack Ground Missile (JAGM) sure would be a good addition to the JAS-39 Gripen...

The F-35A sure can attack somewhat stealthily, but I wouldn't recommend taking it down low.

Thank you, I find the new RWR spectacular. Will test as able this week.
