and some pictures …… 🙂

Tu-204-120, Tu-204-100, Tu-214 & Tu-204C

Who is gonna calculate the actual number of Raptors that the USAF needs???….. according to some brilliant study 1x Raptor = 10 Flankers and Flankers have been killing Eagles in the scenario too…. so lets take it as 1 x Raptor = 10+1 F-15 Eagle

so taking that into account, the Admin has been very much one track by reducing the number of Raptors coz they might be calculating it in the above method

So …. if 1 x Raptor = 11 x F-15 …… actually how many Raptors would be necessary to replace the entire F-15?? ……

k can some one summarise the improvements which will make the improved B2 stand-out from the earlier one . Tks

intrestinf stuffs……… and again Sikorsky …. the Russian who fathered the American Helicopter industry …

nice pictures ….. and indeed nice to see another Thread with Tu-204 in it 🙂

Whisky Delta,

as far as the success of Tu-204 is concerned, it has very little success to its books even after being a very competant a/c in the league of A320 Family and the B757 & B737 ….. but then u need a competent marketing and stratergy in addition to good diplomacy work to have good contracts, only then u can proceed in any market.

Currently there are only 20-30 Tu-204 in books altogether if am not wrong and there is a deal for 25 x Tu-204 to China which has not yet been delivered though the initial delivery date was in Dec 2003. The delay was coz of the financing company not funding as intended as they failed to invest any amount needed for the western avionics and RR engines which is what the Chinese are geting i.e Tu-204-120.

dont know if that has been cancelled or not, but I guess not.

its not working, says invalid server

nice pictures PLA, especailly the first one.

but I am intrested in knowing abt whats the status abt the said deal with the Swedes for the Eriye and Gripens ….. and Saab-2000 for PIA.

and to me this pic of JF gives it a smililarity (in that position) to the Tu-22M3 bomber with its tail and that High mount intakes …. I think I’d another pic which i am not getting now in which the M3 was also in that same angle as that can be see of the JF

Just a question as to how many of those who claim that subs are truly obselete and wont do a damn in Taiwan straits seen them moving in that ‘shallow’ straits???…..

that one was an idiotic try to halt the chinese submarine fleet expansion. No sane person would ever agree to that.
