Anyone know how to crop the pic smaller? It will be much easier to anaylse the pic. P/s: I thought I saw a missile rail at the wing tips.

Tu-160s! I read in some mag, and quoted by a Russian official that they are trying to arouse the interest of the Chinese in the TU-22M-3 instead.

It could be argued whether the flying erection is more ugly or obscene…
:diablo: :diablo: :diablo: 😀 😀 😀

Flying Erection? HA! HA! HA! That’s a good one!! :diablo:

I apologize to the members of this forum for letting me grab in this pointless discussions.
GarryB I either agree with you about the Soviets asking for help for Chernobyl, I don’t see how this fits to the subject of this thread–“Myths of Aviation.

Let’s restart:

Myths:

-dogfights wins air war–wrong; “Red Baron” study shows that situational awareness do;
– the helmet mounted sight was a Russian invention–wrong; the first one was built by US Navy in the 70′

YES PLEASE! Let’s get back to the topic.

Btw, the ‘Soviet F-14’ really stirs my interest here. Does anyone has the link/books etc where I can get more intro on this?

Hope they don’t do that to the Gripen……………yet. 😮

I’m looking foward to the day when USN F/A-18E/Fs were to encounter IRIAF’s Phoenix-armed F-14s while the former is on CAP over the Persian Gulf area.

I really pity the SH pilot/s then! Imagine, being shot down by the plane that your own country has retired! :diablo:
