    DragonMaster, Dare2, Fonk, Sampaix… what ever failed username you’d like to be known by after you get banned, yet again, from just about every military aviation forum you’ve polluted… You posted ‘some’ useful information which was welcome to the thread, but as usual you’ve went way off topic and you’re unwilling to take on board or agree with other member’s posts that conflict with your own and resort to your usual ramblings and claiming silly, pathetic accusations and generally discredit any advantage Typhoon has. Yep, typical Dare2! So, why not do us all a favour, stay on topic, discuss Typhoon on it’s dedicated thread, take on board information given to you. If not, just kindly shut the door on your way out.

    Back on topic…

    Old news, but I doubt this image has been posted before on here…

    A large majority of those aircraft listed very, very rarely reach their top speed, if ever at all. The F-15 is an example that initially springs to mind.

    The Mark 82 bomb for the GBU-31 JDAM is the same used for the RAF’s Paveway IV. Providing their lengths are the same, which I believe they are, Tornado will be able to carry up to five weapons, providing those are GBU-31 JDAMs(?) on the Italian Tornado, and which the stations are wired for the said number.

    F-22 has been phased out of production. Learn about the F-22’s production/entries. Produced from 1996-2011

    Number built: 195 (eight test and 187 operational) Raptors

    F-35 is in development, but it’s not so hot with Lockmart. Too many criticisms and propaganda stuff. Which is why Lockmart’s focusing more on the JSF than the F-22.

    I know a lot about the F-22 and F-35, ta.

    J-20 is a fantasy plane mostly beacuse of it’s looks, if you haven’t played aircraft games from China/Japan you’ll see some planes that look like this which is why the J-20 looks so gameish/fantasy ish:

    Really… is that all?…

    Yeah, they haven’t recently peen that much as a proven platform on those J-Series aircraft. But neither have been into war. Their new J-20 craft is their living fantasy aircraft which looks ugly in that matter. If you haven’t played games from Japan/China you’ll see those fantasy aircrafts. They remind me of the new J-20 5th Gen fighter.

    The F-22 and F-35 (obviously still in development) and many others haven’t been to war, so what’s your point?… And in what way is the J-20 a “fantasy aircraft”, exactly?

    Frank delete this one to.

    Why don’t you learn from it?

    There’s no reason to discuss the UK’s military, it’s planned budget over the next ten years, nor how Argentina can sneakily take The Falklands, unless you’re silly minded or go by the name of Sanem.

    The UK aren’t threatening Argentina in any way nor do they have any interest to strike mainland Argentina. If Argentina want to build their own military aviation industry then they’re best off coming to terms regarding what belongs to them, get a grip and work out how they can fix their economy then establish their own military industry.

    Canada is a very long shot, I don’t see them showing any real interest in Typhoon, or an other aircraft apart from the F-35 for that matter.

    China hasn’t recently created some good fighter platforms.

    They’ve come along way in such a short amount of time to manufacture their own fighters such as the J-10, J-20 and J-31 which have the potential to be very capable platforms, especially the latter two. A bit unfair to say they’re not any good, even when they’re so early in testing.

    Does the IN harrier only have two wing hardpoints (on each wing)?

    Yes. They’re old, or Ex, FAA FRS-1s. Some of those might have seen action in The Falklands and Bosnia actually. The FRS-1s were based on the RAF’s GR1s which had the same configuration regarding stations. It boggles one’s mind why the Royal Navy didn’t go with the Harrier II (GR5) rather than upgrading the FRS-1 to FA2. More stations, four per wing, and there would have been room for the very capable Blue Vixen radar… Shame. But like everything, comes down to costs and a stingy Government.

    That isn’t the point PhantomII is on about, Growler…

    Anyway…

    Regarding China and their production of aircraft that resemble others. It’s no surprise that China are doing this, it’s been the way ever since military aircraft were first thought up, especially since the ’30s – ’40s when Sir Frank Whittle’s creation of the Jet Engine was taking shape, the Germans followed it closely while having their own Jet Propulsion programme actively on the go and were the first ones to have a fully operational Jet powered aircraft in service. As time quickly ticked away there were many advances, many countries were trying to copy others, some got technology from others, America’s “first Jet engine” was actually British, Britain gave a lot of what they had to the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union, America and Great Britain took everything from the German industry to help boost their own research and as a result those former three countries made advances in no time at all with this new technology and were constantly trying to out-do each other while also ‘copying’ one another too, be it by spying, stealing data, simply by copying or just “sharing technology”.

    It’s nothing new, China are doing the same only not so subtle.

    Would some people (a particular person that thinks China should ‘stop it’ and has a keen interest for the F/A-18) feel bad if America were somehow getting data about Chinese aircraft?… I think not. Nobody would no matter where one comes from.

    Don’t forget he also mentioned that Britain is on “is on the fast track to becoming a third world country.”

    It must be this £159 Billion the UK is spending on the British Armed Forces over the next 10 years that’s turning the UK into a third world country.

    no, better for Argentina to focus on fixing its economy and waiting for the right time
    and if they did want to take the Falklands, they’d be better off infiltrating light infantry to swarm the English soldiers by surprise, sidestepping the Typhoons as well as any ships and submarines completely

    Tom Clancy with Writer’s Block…

    That’s the stupidest thing I’ve heard on here for quite a while.

    Educate yourself. 😉 Really ok you are getting childish on this thread. Raise your standards please, anyways i don’t want to talk about this anymore. Really chill Lightning it’s my standard opinion doesn’t mean you have to get crucial at me.

    When you can have a discussion fit for grown ups, then look up the definition of ‘Education’ before you tell others to go educate themselves.

    Back to discussing without the use of Crayons and lacklustre images…

    The term ‘Copyright Infringement’ simply isn’t recognised in China, be it regarding producing top named Watches (Omega, Rolex etc), clothing, Coffee Shops, motor vehicles – BMW and Audi have taken Chinese car manufacturers to court in an attempt to sue the Chinese firms for making their cars look too much like theirs… and have lost on countless occasions, amazingly! The same is going to be said for producing military vehicles, weapons and aircraft, they’re not going to be taken notice of anyone… Might as well just get on with life because they’re not going to stop any time soon.
