well, when our next pilots graduate, RAAF tactical command should send them to the likes of star49 and Mig23MLD and george J. considering there expert information from working at the top ranks of various airforces, how can we consider anyone else for our tactical briefings? get a grip! how many of you serve in an air force? I’ve been to briefings as an ADGie and seen men with 15-20 years knowledge stuff up small details in a briefing- are you 100% percent correct with what you say all the time? Mig23MLD-you wrote a sentence about a war between romania and paraguay- i find that worse than saying a russian originating fighter has an engine from a russian company- its just generalisation, like a indian saying all american fighters are powered by pratt & whitney. what matters is what was refferred to in the video by him- thats what we are discussing – not the Su-35BN which will likely never see production in favour of PAK-FA. :rolleyes:
I am not an expert but i can use logic.
if they max published sustained turn rates for the F-15 and Su-27 are 16 deg/s and 21 deg/s respectively and the MiG-29 has a max sustained turn rate of 23deg/s you can calculate more or less several aspects that were said by the pilot.
I have even flown an F-15 in a playstation video game and i have shot down Su-27 making cobras when they are far from my aircraft basicly what the pilot says is what happens in the video game, there is nothing amazing or extraordinary of what he says, but definitively the Su-30MKI is a better dogfighter in terms of agility.
better trained pilots won`t do the same mistakes and by the way Mayor Kharavasov showed in a SU-27UB that the Cobra works against an F-15 in the 1990s. read it http://www.soldiering.ru/avia/file/airfight.php
http://www.aviapanorama.narod.ru/journal/2004_5/f-15.htm
in 1993 in Langley a pair of Su-27s shot down all the time the F-15s, not even using afterburner.
Obviously the Pilot of red flag did not remind us about that fact.
One of the first opportunities to make an unbiased
comparison of the Su-27 and F-15 in action occurred in August 1992 when
two Su-27UB combat trainers flown by pilots Col. A. Kharchevsky and Maj.
Ye. Karabasov of the Russian Air Force Lipetsk-based Combat Employment
and Retraining Centre paid a visit to Langley AFB (Va.) ・the home base
of the 1st tactical fighter wing of the US Air Force.
During the visit the first joint manoeuvring・
of Su-27UBs and F-15Ds in the flight arena took place. At the time, Ye.
Karabasov flew the aircraft with the rear seat being occupied by an American
pilot, with two Americans flying the opposing Eagle.
Speaking afterwards with a local newspaper reporter
about which aircraft was better, the American pilots, hiding a certain
embarrassment, noted that both fighters were good and had more or less
similar performances. But when speaking with their Russian opposite numbers
and technical experts, they acknowledged the unsurpassed superiority of
the Su-27. The Eagle failed to get on the Flanker’s tail while Maj. Karabasov
vigorous manoeuvring allowed him to keep the F-15 in his sights nearly
all the time. The mock combat ended after several unsuccessful attempts
by the F-15 pilot to change the situation for the better.
The Yuan is supported by the largest monetary accumulation in the entire world. As a totality, the EU’s entire EU’s reserves is only a fourth of China’s.
And once again, GDP is deceptive and distortive. GDP for the most part, also counts government spending and military spending, with the exception of entitlements. Keynesian spending, just to create jobs does not necessarily mean infrastructure investment that can reap dividends along the run. There is an economic difference when you spend 200 million on an F-22 Raptor and 200 million on a factory. The first does not hire people, and the second does.
Does it count savings rate for example? Chinese have the highest savings rate in the world, as much as 40%.
Not when what is financing the consumption is credit and debt.
Europe is the one that is doing the bailing out of their own banks. China has its own problems, but they’re not in the stage of bailing out banks like in Europe.
No. China is the top producer and buyer of gold and silver. Anyone knows why gold and silver prices went high.
Dreaming?
Face the facts boy.

To put it in perspective, for every $70 dollars of gold the US has, China has $1500.
Please go ahead and total all the countries there that belong to the EU.
No deal is going to be struck. US investments have not paid enough for the Chinese. They will be looking for some extensive Keynesian spending in their own economy, such as more infrastructure building, railway and school construction, plus some military related output.
Once again, you have no idea about PPP, that is, China’s cost of living is far lower than any of them.
Not when you’re backed by nearly 2 trillion in forex reserves, which are actual currency. Plus gold reserves like
http://www.globalfirepower.com/list_gold_reserves.asp
Really? Why has China not reached the stage of bailing out banks yet?
Then why are different country leaders are asking for China to play a pivotal role in the bailouts? Why is Paulson talking to the Chinese just about every day?
Irrelevant. Like I said, military spending isn’t income generating.
Let us see who owns most of gold
Who owns most gold?
If we take national gold reserves, then most gold is owned by the USA followed by Germany and the IMF. If we include jewellery ownership, then India is the largest repository of gold in terms of total gold within the national boundaries. In terms of personal ownership, it is not known who owns the most, but is possibly a member of a ruling royal family in the East.

If you were right then by gold production Peru would be one of the riches countries in the world
The GDP is the most important aspect to guess the size of an economy, but the per capita GDP is more important, countries with high GDP per capita are rich have strong currencies and most important can support currencies with high values and high salaries in the region of USD $24000 or more a year.
China still is uncapable of controlling the West is only capable of threating the West with nukes and up to a level affect the economies of some countries but it is not a coincidence that China has very low salaries and high growth.
Do not lie to your self, future wars are going to be for natural resoruces or zones of influences excused by some political reasons and driven some times by racial, cultural or religious hatre, but definitively most likely the US and China have complementary economies and the Chinese are also dependant on the US federal reserve to growth.
