    It seems a small snatch type ground unit has already gone in to Gaza.

    And that video of the bombing of “Men loading Gas Cyclinders”. Yeah right. It takes 20 people buzzing around to oversee somebody moving gas cylinders does it?
    I can carry a full cylinder, it was taking two of them to lift one cylinder onto the truck.
    Watch the video, do not take your opinion from the “After” photo of a gas cylinder on the street.

    Bad guys were killed.

    The problem with the video, is that it is so vague that you can see anything you want in them.

    You see people you want to kill.

    I will leave this up to you.

    This reminds me of the infamus pictures of Iraqi “Mobile VMD” factories. Nobody today believes they were anything but trucks.

    It’s also wrong.
    And furthermore, words have been put in my mouth, Israel IS defending itself, otherwise we’d have to do it.
    If we get involved, we drag it out for years, lose lots of good men.
    At least Israel believes in the short sharp shock.

    There is more than an inkling of truth to the statement.

    1. Israel was founded on a racist ideology. (mass deportation of non jews)

    2. Your “short sharp shock” has lasted since 1948.

    In my life i have seen the Israelis, do everything to the Palestinians, that the nazis did to the jews, EXCEPT employing “the final solution”
    But then again, it is the logic extension of Israels foreign policy since 1948.

    Do you believe in karma ?

    I do.

    Well, that’s for the Norwegians to decide, but anyone who really believes it’s anywhere near as inexpensive as Gripen is deluded.

    I think the Norwegian people may have some serious questions for their government.

    Norway does indeed have some serious questions to ask theyr government.

    Unfortunately they are never, i repeat NEVER ! ansvered.

    Basically they cooked the books to have them reflect what they wanted.

    But in the end they did the right thing, made a bet on the bigger, and infact more reliable ally, the USA.

    Sorry, was using a online translator on the text. It translated “kroner” to “dollar”, as it seems.

    VG have read internal documents that indicate a price of around 21 billion dollars for 48 aircraft of the type F-35A.

    That is, around 373 million per aircraft. In addition, expenses for a global logistics and training system. According to the Department of Defense Pentagon will cost over a 25 year period amount to approximately 756 million per aircraft, or a total of 36 billion.

    This amount does not include weapons and consumption of, for example, fuel and oil

    FACTS ABOUT fighters

    Norway to buy up to 48 combat aircraft to replace the current F-16 fleet.
    Thursday manufacturers have competed for the contract: Swedish JAS Gripen and U.S. F-35 Lightning II (JSF) produced by Lockheed Martin.
    The government is committed to select the F-35.
    The price for the purchase will be 18 billion (nkr).
    According to the government’s F-35 clearly cheaper, both in procurement and in terms of costs over the expected life of 30 years.
    According to the government was the only F-35 that meet all the operational and technical requirements that the government has set.
    Norway is a paying partner in the development of the F-35 (JSF).

    You missed the point. The best thing to achieve that are some clumsy naval guns (Vulcan, Bofors etc., which do create splinter clouds in front of the big approaching missile) and when the closing speed is not too high. That is done in the terminal phase for a missile, which is homing to a “stationary” target. Modern AAMs do not chase targets, but are targeted against a calculated hitting point. When doing so, they do not fly a predictable course.

    Here you contradict yourself. You first say the hitting point is calculated, then it is unpredictable. The optimum “hit basket” is of course variable, but never unpredictable. The question remains;
    Can the computer in the Gripen, operating its control surfaces, be fast enough to intercept the missile trajectory ?

    Developing munitions that do not rely on a direct hit, is of course helpfull. You can even develop gun fired flares, to load every 3 rounds or so.

    As far as i know, the Falcon has the wings of the Mirage F-1. Just add the pylons and off you go.

    Can the entire f-22 force, stop an invation force of 1 million mircrolights(all having sniper rifles)

    Never mind fratricide:)

    Such an AAM does not fly a steady or predictable course, when the shells of you gun do fly ballistic.

    Yes, the system i talk about, is currently only to target other aircraft. What i wonder is if it can be developed to be fast and accurate enough, to target an incoming missile.

    The hard part is already done, slaving the autopilot to the radar projected trajectory of the enemy aircraft.

    Gunsights since the Korean War have been radar sighted. The last plane to have a manual gunsight was the MiG-15.

    The answer to the second question is no.

    No, what i am talking about is that the autopilot in the Gripen will steer the aircraft according to the target when the pilot selects cannon fire.

    Nobody had this in Korea.

    I have read that the cannon in the Gripen is radar guided.

    Can a radar guided cannon be trained against a front aspect missile ?

    I guess by that that commercial airliners would be equally proficient in combat to these tu-160’s then..

    How many current supersonic ailiners are there ?

    Is there any point to your post ?
