over g you are looking pretty bad right now… i mean why even develope a more modern radar if its just a radar and can’t be upgraded to handle more loads…. And the F-15s were playing Red Air. 8 F-15s coulda been playing the role of Su-34s on a low level strike penetration mission for all we know.
my guess was they were simming terrorists in cessna’s
LOL over g, ignorence is bliss and i dont enjoy kicking a cripple, google up so at least you will make some sense
oh and BTW both use the same aesa radar
oh thats right your favorite plane doesnt have aesa, so therefore its useless
i cant be bothered to look up a decent link, but if you want to google the apg-79, there is more info on that model and it does the same stuff
who said that was the only ew used ?
i’m unsure what you meant with the first part of your post
But there are still a place for cheap subsonic UAV.
i’d spend 2 min on google before i’d make a post that made me look silly
an aesa radar that does some ew stuff, for a start
there never starts a 1 vs 1 in real life
i’d add to your post the extra 3bn to bring it back on course
ive seen drunk sailors in a house of illrepute to be bigger spendthrifts LOL
i’m confident aussies will be flying in 2014/15
“If it’s a shooting war you’re going to want to be in the F-15C.”
Nonsense. I’d want to be in an F-22, if I wanted to live. And if that were not allowed in a Typhoon. The cockpit of an F-15C would come some way down my wish list.
2 typhoon to 8 f-15’s with all the toys turned on, i dont want to be in either, but my money would be on the f-15 group, i cant see it working any other way with 2:8
one ef and his wingman isnt going to kill 8 f15s on an encounter
2 typhoons taking f-15’s 7 zip, makes sense if the f-15 were simming terrorists in 7 cessna
i dont think the uk sim thats been hawked around for years was as good as that
but i do think the ef is better than the f-15, when both have all the good toys in them, we will have to wait a few years for the ef for this
but i wouldnt use the 7 zip to make my case
i meant that the boat has sailed re not building the ef, rafale and gripen and doing an eu plane
i see it as a sensible possibility for a eu 6th gen , i think lessons would have been learnt, even though at the moment there are a few programs running, so maybe they were learnt but not acted on
usa has an all in 2 wonder plane, its the rest of us that only have one 5th gen available, but i would say thats really a choice of 3 abc models
my DACT post isnt mine but a copy paste by someone else, i’m just a pleb
i was referring to this one that he edited
this is starting to go platform vs platform, DACT isnt and is about interoperability and systems
“Typically, the threat capabilities will start out low short range missiles and very benign tactics, then increase as the exercise continues, as long as the blue air players are learning something and they are ready to progress to the next level. If the blue air fighters are getting their butts handed to them, the threat level will remain low, but if they are doing well, the threat capability will increase so the training is useful.”
i dont really know how much BFM training is in these exercises,
i read there is a lot of work on tactical training, where blue sets up a tactical plan and then executes it to see how successful it was
no need to tell me about the ew f-111 we are in the process of retirering them which we are replacing with a dozen ea-18g
mk 84’s are obsolete in au too, unless guided
i quoted it because i found it funny
i did do an edit while you were typing your post so some points i think have been covered
no offense intended, but no eu country can afford to do 5th gen by its self
its not what ‘i’ consider 5th gen, its what the industry calls that type of plane
i agree there is no immediate need for germany and as i edited there is a big allie US air base sitting there with 5th gen on hand
the euro planes got slowed down after the soviet split
but i would guess given their time again, there would be the ef partners, france and swiss and the nato’s buying f-35 joining together and dropping their programs, wearing the up to then R&D costs and building 5th instead of persevering with 1980’s designs
the wisdom of such is reflected in the export sales till now, as i see it and that 3 of the ef partners are getting f-35
aussies would have liked to have a choice instead of the f-35 being the only game in town
you are right, it is an advantage today, but for how long???
and what is left of these invisible planes if stealth is taken out of the equasion?
there is no finish, its an evolving technology dating back to ww1
i think he meant scramjets in general, not a specific program
the aussie group launched the first sucessful scramjet and there is ongoing development
just curious as the germans are quiet on the forums, unlike the french who have the best plane in the world, you dont even need to ask, they will tell you
what is the reason germany isnt going 5th gen, other than the ef partnership which is obvious and the large US air base in germany, is there a white paper or official statement on it ?
