How does a thread on Mandela end up with Himmler in it?

Sanctimonious and self-pitying nonsense by Snapper.@Wilhem-taking up arms when the cause is just does not turn one into a criminal eg American rev and civilians regretably die in war.In any case the church street bombing targeted air force hdq and incidences like this were few

Sorry, but that’s a stupid statement !

It is not the point what it offers more (in comparison to what the T50 could or will offer) but simply can the RuAF afford so many T50 that all older types can be replaced … or could it be an option to purchase also a smaller design similar to the F-35, which maybe offers not everything but is probably a bit more affordable to be purchased in larger numbers. As such with already an Russian engine … it could be an option even more if Russian avionics would be used

Sorry i meant compared to SU-35S or a potentially improved MIG -35.I edited my original post to reflect this

Gear up boys- It seems MIG-29 is going to be posting more here after a rather unfortunate turn of events at SD

In danger of being attacked here, it seems the cowlings of the engines are not painted, or covered or anything.

Safe to assume this is going to be the norm then?

Assume precisely the opposite.Imagine a gold tinted canopy,stealthy type 30 engines and a dark RAM coating,etc.Now you get the picture.You should expect all this at the end of 2014 on t-50-7 or 8

Haavarla please leave Freddy and Palembeng alone.Some of us appreciate their sense of humour and their contribution to the the debate this i am pretty sure you would agree is priceless.Just where is Goldust when we need him?
