Well take this piece of info with a grain of salt, if necessary.
At Farnborough Pogosyan said he wasn’t impressed with the F-22s agility/maneuverability, saying that the Su-35 was no worse – though it wasn’t a match overall for the F-22. He then said, right after, that the PAK-FA would be (overall).
I seriously think your view of that whole ordeal is childish beyond what I could have expected from anyone here.
The F-117, along with far superior support, training, etc – did penetrate Iraq.
Iraq had a completely inferior, multi-generationally “behind the F-117” radar network, that could do nothing to stop the stealth aircraft.
AA guns over Baghdad are a massive threat – what sort of joke is that? It’s like like the F-117 or the F-15E are mud-mowers. They are high fliers that have no need to worry about short-range AA guns or easily jammed ancient Soviet SAM systems.. good god man. :rolleyes:
You were banned earlier, were you not? You made this thread because you are very very butthurt that people don’t worship the oh-so-mighty USA. 😀
2000 F-35s are a wet dream that will never happen. Maybe 1200 by 2050. At best. The economy is screwed at the moment. The military is bloated beyond anything necessary. The US has no business dictating to anyone, be it China, the US, or some lesser country.
Also, your grasp of military operations is probably about a good 1/10.
How will the US ever deploy its air force against a country that has long-range strike capability (leaving nuclear war aside).
How will they actually bring 170 F-22s and 2000 “other aircraft” over without anyone noticing? At best, they would have to rely on F-18s and F-35s from carriers, and then later forward operations bases for F-15/16 aircraft and A-10s could be established. As an extreme example, Russia could happily obliterate these bases from far far away with their Tu-95MS and Tu-160 bombers firing precision Kh-555 and Kh-101 missiles.
I was simply comparing numbers stop trying to bull bait. why don’t you actually try to refute something someone says rather than trolling this board
Like I mentioned before the 1st day strikes will not come from carriers but from conus. You have to look at thing in sortie generation rates and aim points. The Chicoms have about 2000 SRBMs to use On Taiwan and allied bases. They can hit 2k aim points the 1st day but can they sustain it?
The U.S. can sustain 2k aim points a day for a prolonged period.
3-4 OHIOS thats 500 TLAMs 500 aim points
24 B-52s ( rotating in each day) launching ALCMs 480+ aim points
24 B-1s firing Jassm 576 aim points
10 B-2s launching 200 SDBs each thats 2000 aim points
24 F-22s based in Alaska for DEAD 8 SBD thats another 192 aimpoints
24 F-22s For escort
I would be conservative in saying that the U.S. could sustain sortie rates and hit over 3000 aim points a day and I didn’t even mention surface war ships, more Ohios, carrier strike groups, and Legacy F-16,F-15E fighters
Russia and China can hit hard but they cannot hit the sheer amount of aim points we can neither can they sustain the sortie rates that we can
Please, if your going to tell me I don’t know anything about operations at least bring some facts.
