Poland’s AF is much larger than any of those airforces. And when they get 48 F-16 Block 50/52’s in 3 years they will be even better. Don’t forget that Poland is a country of 40 million, you can’t really compare tiny little countries like Belgium or Portugal to Poland.

Do you happen to know how many fighter aircraft do Spain or the Netherlands have ( only to mention the stronger of those you put behind Poland) ? And no, the majority of them aren’t Mig-21s…

BTW, if you’re counting the 48 F-16s for Poland in 3 years time, then you must also count in all the other planes entering service. For example in Portugal, the upgrade of the first F-16 squadron to MLU should be completed, and work on the second should be started. That would make 40 aircraft. Then I’d really know why Czech Rep. or Romania would be ahead in your list ( and also ahead of Belgium and Denmark… :rolleyes: )

But, heck, I agree with Mystic_J. This list ( and the purpose of this thread BTW) is somewhat pointless.

You may calculate the radial acceleration value a and thus the force F . Not that I remember the specific formula…

Well, yes you can calculate the radial acceleration by:

Knowing that radial force Fn is equal to mv^2/R ( radius of the movement), and as all forces Fn=m*an ( it’s the resulting force), you get

v^2/R=an , and then you just have to compare it with g ( 9.81 m/s^2).

So all you need now would be the length of the arm of the “Vomitron”.

Hope it helps

(or you could try it yourself and make a rought estimate 😀 :D)
