I think that they have added the connections for the pylons for the wingtanks… Not 100% sure about that but it is the first time a see strange things under the right wing here… Before this it was completely flat. Furthermore I think they have added something under the tailwings. It is darker but not clear. I just checked other pictures and it is definately not paint.

about the Aim9 kind of missiles. Not sure if they are real. They look asme as the first flight (without paint). Here an upload…

Re: Wasnt a good idea to buy Backfire

The Backfire bombers were very difficult to maintain it’s combat readiness. First it was a very sopisticated bomber, very powerful, but you have to see we are not buying new aircrafts, these aircrafts were built in 1980s, average 20 years of age. Does Russia can gurantee the fleet’s READINESS to fly is very questionable! Even newer bomber like the Tu160 had been crashed two months ago killing all the crews on board. The backfire were very difficult to value their seviceability. That wasnt a plane can fly can be put into combat and that was a reason PLAAF/N dont like second hand stuffs.
The much UNSTEALTHYNESS of Tu22Ms made it easy to be shoot down if it flies without escorts,so I wont think the deal will go through!And so does Mig31s,they were too obsoleted!
If China wants to stop US CVGNs she will choose submarines instead of bombers to do this task, at least submarines has much Stealthyness!

The US has continously tracking of every submarine in the world. Dream on.

We gave them these weapons for self defence. Everyone was killing everyone in Lebanon in that time and even now. We had no way to know thay will kill these Arabs.

Well, I hope the Palestinian will get a own nation next to Israel (and not only the dirty part) and I hope Israel can leave the Lebanese alone. For the rest… Stealing land and killing the owners shows how low this nation is.

mavaustin, I think you forgot that the killers in Sabra and Shatila were Christians arabs. The only thing the IDF did wrong is not keeping an eye on these Falangot.
The IDF gave them weapons, yes, but not for these uses.
And Sharon wasn’t even in the IDF then, he was the Defence Minister.

Typical. Give weapons to others and help them kill palestinians… The people who helped the nazi kill jews ended in Neurenberg… I hope the jews that helped here atleast see the international court.

No wonder. But it almost stupid to see jews (not negative used) allways point at world war 2 but are blind what they are causing these days. Why are they allowed to return from diaspora and they force palestinians to stay outside their place of birth… No wonder anti-semitism is rising… And only Israeli do not understand why? Cause the make zionist holy and buthcher the pAlestinian people that have the right to live there. I sto phere cause it is aviation forum but that pro Israel guy started it.

STFU you a$$hole. Putting bombs in buses is ok? Shooting at cars in West-Bank is ok? Killing more than 1,000 inoccents people in 2003 is ok huh??

So I would recommend you to STFU because you have no clue what is the situation here. Every time that Israel is giving them more freedom and less restricted attitude, there is a suicde bombing. You know why? because they are SCARING TO DEATH from fighting FACE TO FACE with the IDF. Israel is destroying the houses of terrorists to teach thier and other families that it’s not paying. They teaching their kids from the age of 0 to be terrorists, and later on using them as living shiled, “loving families” huh?

I will tell you the truth. I AM VERY HAPPY THAT A PALESTINIAN KID IS BEING KILLED. You can fight fire only with fire.

Killing jews is wrong but killing muslims is fine…? Who is the a$$hole here…? I hope you enjoy busses.

And scared to death fighting IDF? C’mon. The IDF cannot fight with hands but have to hide in US warplanes and merkava’s. You just cannot handle the fact that these palestinian childs dare to fight with stones against merkava… They even blow up… I don’t see israeli have to guts to do that… Jews are not the saints. No one is.

Latest… EF2000 was developed with Lavi blueprints…
?:D 😀 😀 😀

Gentlemen, can we skip the importance of the Lavi. It was funded by the US and if you look carefully at it it is extremely small… We should not make a god out of it.

And Erez… Can you skip that anti semitism part. That happened in ww2 but i see a lot of things coming from the Israeli government these days. The palestinians are in getto’s and their children in abused in concentration camps. They are either deported and not allowed to return or killed by Israeli merkava, apache or F16 cause they are so called terrorists. The palestinian land is stolen and their houses are destroyed. It is not a wonder that some of your elite pilots or soldiers had enough abd signed against these unhumane treatment. And that wall… The jews learned how to act like nazis’s… No wonder most nations are voting against Israel.

Do we have to hear that antisemitism over and over again? No thanks.
