Easy target?
How is it an easy target.. lol. You wanna spear it with your car or boat?

Seriously, the upcomeing OL. There will be great need for security.
Having a heli fleet on standby near by is one good security measure.

Its not only for Snipers.
It will be for medical care and traffic surveilance, etc etc its a long list.

They’ll be hell to pay if they do

its what i read!!

EF and RAFALE can only MANTAIN supercruise,i mean they have to reach supersonic with AB and mantain supercruise using max thrust.

In other hand su-35 can REACH and MANTAIN supercruise in dry thrust ,thanks to 117s engines :):)

can you provide proof for that?

im sure i have read somewere that the eurofighter easily breaks the speed barrier on dry thrust. which is believable taking into account its thrust to weight ratios.

based on the SMP’s rediculous plans for independence, scotland and the rest of Great briton would continue to share armed forces. its not going to happen anway sooner or later scotland will realise how lucky they are to be part of the UK and not a small euro country wallowing like portugal or greece.

Leuchers (north) and Coningsby (south) typhoons. Usually a pair of airframes on extended readiness at both. Which are ready to launch as soon as the pilots in the seat. Others can be in the air shortly after but really its very unlikely there will be a threat a single tiffy can’t deal with never mind 2. Also typhoons are very fast and climb very well, so time to target is pretty good.

It’s not really surprising that the typhoon was able to maintain its advantages over the other aircraft in terms of Thrust to weight ratio. What is surprising is that the Mig was able to produce similar performance.

I assume the heavy confer was a set weight/load for all of the aircraft to serve as a control element of a test. Therefore it would give you a good indication of each aircrafts performance.

love the fact that it sails past 2 T45 just sat at the side of the river, do we know which ship these are? i assume its not daring dauntless or diamond? dragon and defender?

So you admit it doesn’t provide any difference in the capability to strike on the first day then. Just to make sure we are all agreed on that, since I wouldn’t want there to be any misunderstandings ;). As for my eyes, they roll where they wish, we like in a supposedly free society, and my eyes are entitled to their three degrees of freedom 😎

no we dont agree at all. we currently dont have a stealth aircraft with a EW suite as advanced as the one that will be fitted on the F-35. which will certainly enhance our first day strike capability. you may dissagree, thats your choice.

it may well be a blessing in disguise, forcing the gov to buy SH for the navy and a number of F35A for the RAF (i believe they want the first day ability it offers)
