i think that the su-35 would be a tough fighter to defeat by those vipers
that would make more sence…..maybe they want to buy some other version later
do u know what the deal is potentialy worth in terms of aquired fighters…….10 is surely not enough (i would think)
are u guys talkin of the raptor or the ef
do u have any link to the missile
well thanx for the information guys…i have a few articles about aerojet contracts awarded in 2003 for ramjet propulsion systems just specifically for the a2a missiles…i will find and post them soon…also what do guys think of the coyote???
also the fact that greg neubeck was in the f/a-22 team till late 2002…
well i think it is high time we did this…..come to think of it they dont want us there in korea atleast the people dont(varioious surveys), however the govt does….so if the majority of the people dont want us there then why are we spending money and risking lives not to mention escelating the situation with n korea??? we can always have a limited air presence in the area which can be on a forward deployment basis and can be bolstered by carrier groups….europe i definately dont see any need there other then perhaps a valid launching ground for potential forward theater in the m east or elsewhere in asia.and/or africa…however moving those bases to eastern europe is a better idea cuz not only the people and the govt want us there(in contries like poland) but bases there are far more cheaper to run…..
and about the raptor
i’ll definately look up….anyway i know this is a bit off topic but since we are on identification can someone tell me what the shallow “”divet”” close to the radome of the raptor is…as we trace up near the canopy lock….u can see it in this pic

well the saudi’s wont prob buy any more eagles that is for sure..and they prob wont go in for the JSF as not only is it the highest risk fighter program in the us it will most likely have an export varient which perhaps negates the greatest advantage it has. also the saudi official doctrine (ever since the closely coregraphed fighter kills of the gulf war by the saudis)has been to increase their interoperability with USAF aircraft and technology as politically as the house looks to become more and more unstable the US might start to give it more and more aid under the umbrella of the WOT so buying russian sukhois wont go in that well with theit publically stated doctrine…that leaves other options….the bug is out…the viper is out…which leaves the rafale or the EF…..both of which are great……i think they should prefer the rafale over trach1 and i reserve my opinion for the tranche 2 and 3….. the latest mirage2000 might be a better more economical alternative?
thanx…..i have been trying to post for the last few days but was enable but thank god that it has started to work now
thank god that didnt happen….i guess that looking at this info a case can be made for a LO platform/Stand off weapon combo quite nicely….
u got a pic
