If the JMSDF cant have “offensive weapons”……….could we see a 65,000 ton DDH?:D
Judging by some of the European posters attitudes here regarding Israel it becomes much much easier to understand how the Holocaust happened in the first place. Antisemitism must be so deeply ingrained in continental Europe that they just cant help themselves but hate us Jews.
Why would Japan buy ships from UK when they are capable of building them on their own?
It looks like what CVF should look like.;)
It will be fitting if the first Two of this ‘real’ carriers class (I assumed it will be two, since the DDH also coming in two for each new class) will be named ‘Shokaku’ and ‘Zuikaku’, the best IJN carriers in WW2.

“The USA & USSR had nuclear weapons before the treaty, & are not bound by it to relinquish them, only to refrain from assisting other countries to obtain them. “
I just hope US didn’t break the law and assisted Israel in getting nukes then :rolleyes:
They didnt. It was probably more France than anyone else.
Are there ANY moderators here anymore?!
Its gotten a bit beyond aviation now dont you think? It should be closed or moved to the general disscusion forum.
This thread should be closed. 😡
Really?!:eek: They would have to go through Jordan or Syria as well! Nothing would unite the Arab nations more then the Israelis going on a military expedition through several Muslim states! There is no way the Israeli army could fight itself through all that and protect its logistics trail. This isn’t like Suez or the six day war it would be an utter bloodbath.
I dont think anyone was suggesting that Israelie ground forces would be going into Iran…….all anyone has mentioned so far is an air force strike.
Do the Isralies have the large “bunker buster” bombs?
If you want to talk about initial problems then look at the F-111.
Thats the version I just finished. I liked the book….it was what it was…..a good read about an important program during what I think of as the “glory days” jet fighter aviation…..that is just befor the end of the cold war and befor the introduction of AMRAAM.
My dad was in the Air Force at the time of the events,( he drove A-7s and then switched to the F-16) and he knows a couple of the guys that were in the program.
I thought it was a very good book. Couldnt find too much wrong with it.
