The evidence you want is there for all to see but it requires an open mind and one that is not in denial about what the USSR was all about.
The one fact that stands out is that it had to murder so many of it’s own to survive and after it filled all those graves that were hidden away, it still collapsed. Whats left over? A country with no faith in it’s own citizens, run by a group of thugs with oil money, leftover nukes and little else. Sad

oh and of course the yanks never done enything like that in the past. just like the Isrealis the USA can never do wrong. the Russians on the other hand can never seem to do enything right, they where just evil commies. ok Russia still has a nuclear arsenal, the only time they should get rid of it is if every other country gets rid of theres.
we have to admit that us humans are slowly but surely killing the planet we live on, it is not right us British should pay a green tax when the real damage is being done in other parts of the world, stop China, USA, japan and the likes burning as much fossil fuels, stop Brazil and the likes cutting down all that rain forest, stop African and Asian poachers slaughtering Rhinos, Tigers, Gorrillas.
it is about time us Humans with all our brain power relise, the way we are going at the momment, our childrens children will have a terrible place to live, we have to do something about it pretty soon, a tax to line the governments pocket is a half hearted, piontless solution.

so i will ask again, what was it like to fly a Mig-25…. and a SR-71 as well.
who loves the Foxbat then… 😉
personally i think this thread has gone a bit away from topic, so who started running down China. can we not get political please. can we talk about something much more intersting, aircraft built in the former Soviet Union.
a picture of a Tu-22 Blinder dropping bombs would be nice, or a Su-15 Flagon launching a Anab, also has enyone a nice picture of a long nosed Firebar, these pictures are like rocking horse muck, but one of you must have something.. 😉
one question i have about the gorgeous Foxbat is pilot workload. with such a high perfomance type i would think the old bird was a bit of a handful to fly, the reccie birds must have been a nightmare, flying at 2000mph operating cameras must of been quite challenging. the interceptor must have been a bit better as they are ground controlled. in other words was was it like to earn a living flying a brute like a Mig-25.. all said and done i bet it is pretty amazing.
i have never really cared how much better or worse Russian kit was compared to westren kit.. i leave all that too the boffins.. i just think Russia or the Soviet Union made some pretty amazing aircraft during the cold war, the same goes for Great Britain, USA, France, China.. though i am glad of it, since the iron curtin came down aircraft development has become a bit boring. its all this stealth crap these days… YAWN… :rolleyes:
cant us Humans with all our brain power cut out all this Religion stuff, we have walked on the Moon, sent a probe to the dark and distant part of our solar system, split the atom, slaughtered each other in wars, have more money then we could ever spend while others are starving. at the same time quite happy in making this planet just how we want it to be not giving a toss about everyone else, and we still belive there is a all powerful being watching over us… greed and selfishness is the only all powerful being watching over the human race. Religion just continues to make matters worse. :rolleyes:

i love the old Russian stuff, they made some weird, wonderful and amazing aircraft. the Fulcrums and Flankers are pretty cool but i have always loved there older kit. the likes of Tu-22 Blinder, Tu-128 Fiddler, Su-15 Flagon, Yak-28 Brewer/Firebar, An-22, Mil-6, Be-12.. to name but a few. 😉
Zulu is one of my top films, one of Great Britians most amazing conflicts, a true story and the film gave it the respect it deserved.
Carry On up the kyber has to be the best comic film ever made, i have watched it hundreds of times and it still makes me laugh, a true classic….
the best film from the 70s… has to be Star Wars… i want to drive a Imperial Walker, always have done… 😀 ;).
did someone mention Jaws… what a film that was… duuun dun…duuuun dun…dun dun..dun dun…dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun AHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRHHHHGGGGHHHH… 😀
