we send different planes to different red flags, it depends on what training is being done
not only are omega doing our refueling until our new tankers are online, they have brought our old tankers

Omega Aerial Refuelling Services expects to take delivery of three Boeing 707-300s tankers from the Australian government by the end of 2009
” Omega to ferry a Tornado squadron across the US for military exercises while it also supported Australian F/A 18 Hornets on their trans-Pacific flights to and from a Red Flag exercise in Alaska”

as i suggested, perhaps google can help you know the difference

spudman, as well as the laser countermeasure, i read they are also working on a 100kw laser weapon for the f-35, put on the f-35b where normally the lift fan goes and powered by the lift drive shaft

You mean this one:

This is not the whole picture what happent at Red Flag 2008.
The USAF know little of the Indian/Russian jammers, and it was only simulated.
Indian did not have any Data link they could use at Red Flag.
The USAF dude did screw up on several points about the MKI.
I wouldn’t go around using this video to prove a point..
First he says they dominated the Indians, then he goes about saying the MKI are better than the F15/16.. Like toocool points out, he(USAF) only want to promote the F-22A in these videos.

Thanks

i’m just playing with the Luddites, i wouldnt seriously draw any conclusions from a training exercise

You never wondered how “the best fighter bar none with 100+ victories against zero losses” (the F-15) became overnight a “second rate fighter” compared to international competition? Strangely, that fact “appeared” about at the time of F-22 acquisition discussions, and was fueled by the USAF… you even got “terrible results” in a couple exercises with india, for example… Strange coincidence, isn’t it?

😀

wow revisionist historian trolling, the usa airforce guy said they smacked the su

No and I am not interested. But feel free to do it if it’s worth your time.

you’re the one that seems to want to question and know more, i’m quite at ease with the following

Nov 2005: The U.S. Air Force, in it’s effort to get money to build more F-22s, has revealed just how “stealthy” the F-22 is. It’s RCS (Radar Cross Section) is the equivalent, for a radar, to a metal marble. The less stealthy (and much cheaper) F-35, is equal to a metal golf ball. The F-35 stealthiness is a bit better than the B-2 bomber, which, in turn, was twice as good as that on the even older F-117.

to me it means the f-35 is more than twice the RCS stealth of the f-117 and the f-22 is higher than that

saying that russia knows more about the f-22 than the usaf

when does trolling become spamming ?

we may have replaced the F.111’s when the us retired there’s.if we had the F15 in service now instead of F18’s.we might have F15E.s now flying in gulf

our fa-18’s were deployed on bombing missions in the gulf, or have you forgotten ?
