The 4×4 results are hardly worth a medal, given the claims of 400-600 per cent superiority in air-to-air.
Porky reached maxima around 6.5 g in this engagement. Didn’t have the power, lift or pitch rate to get to 9 g in a timely manner. The F-16 was limited to 7 g until the wing tanks were empty.
Nothing secret any more…
Read the report again!
So you think that being limited to 7g vs the F-16’s 9g was not a factor?
I know it wasn’t. Stay tuned.
Ooosh – Brilliant idea to present the rearward DAS view on the visor as the pilot’s looking forward.
The HMDS already has a carbonfiber shell, too, so it will do a good job of containing the debris when the poor bu**er’s brain explodes.
At this time I’d rather not.
That’s “bated breath”, Feddie. Unless you’ve been eating guppies.
Larfing like a drane here, to channel my inner Molesworth 2.
Spud: NWIH does SACM/Cuda make Block 4. 2027 at the absolute earliest.

Three people here are going to look dumber than usual in a couple of days.
The action to repaint the trucks was a local measure to proactively address a potential issue that does not exist.
Are you an editor for Pravda? 😀
Errrm….. In the U.S. context “joint” does not mean international. So please supply evidence of the Turkish presence.
Lukos- there is nothing about a joint force either, and I have not a clue who “my mate” might be. So once again you have made a definitive statement- “Turkish F-16s were in the test” – and when asked for evidence you change the story – joint? Polish? Greek? – and provide no evidence for that either.
Are the Mods paying attention?
