This thread is out of control! The US attacking the French for shooting at Isreali’s?!?!?! Are you serious? Think you may taken the whole “freedom fries” stuff a bit to far…
WOW…
WOW…
Never seen anything like this since the Venik days. Very amusing.
This thread is hilarious!!! I am laughing out loud reading this, keep it coming guys, the Modern Military section needs more humor like this!
I think US will bomb France if France attack Israel airplanes.
Are you for real? Is someone on this board playing a joke on the rest of us??? BTW You spelled your own name wrong. :rolleyes:
Nothing will come of these incidents but I do wish the French would put the Israelis in thier place. Sounds like Israel need to be put back in its place, i.e it is not a world power!
Any documentation coming to light because of this? Just interested in reading some of the mil stuff but no time or engery to file a FOIA claim.
I would imagine Link 16 NATO compatiable stuff…
Anyone have a list of MiG-25 combat losses?
F-14 was a piece of **** and F-15 only has its supposed impeccable record because US/Israel only fought nations far weaker than it and a numerical superiority of 10:1.
The Mig-25 was ideal for many nations unlike the SR-71 which only US could afford. Mig-25 was a fighter which could go very fast and very high unlike SR-71 which had no fighting capability and was only developed for recce purposes.
What are you smoking?? Care to share some? :diablo:
Didnt the HAF fly them in recce role until the late 80’s??
Here is another question for you.
Do the JAS 37’s also have TIDLS or just the JAS 39s?
No, i dont believe so. They used another system. Important to note is that Gripen A/B’s had TIDLS only while C/D have both TIDLS and Link 16. Part of the NATO compatiable package on the later (export) models.
well…
i can see where this thread is headed….
yet another flame war on this board…
so suprised
Is the SwAF going to MAple Flag this year? I was talking with the Canadian head of 17 wing in Winnepeg this week and he was very impressed by the Swedes. He worked with them on the KC-130 conversions and training a few years back.
The Canadian military aerospace industry is deader then dead. Lots of research here going on concerning that very matter.
Only one the ‘might’ suprise us are the Swedes…. and that is a huge long shot.
Canada… they are super scary.
there is unfortunately no position to undermine for Israel, at least not with the French.
Don’t forget that France has long ago decided to betray Israel and to side with the Arabs (even giving them the IAF-enhanced Mirage 5), and since this was a commercially very successful move, you can be sure that France will keep groveling to its Arab customers at every opportunity for the foreseeable future.

[RANT] Betray Israel? What exactly did France OWE Israel? How do you betray a nation you have no obligation too?? The anti-semitic comment is pure BS, Israeli nonsense, I am so tired of that card (and another one) being thrown down every time there is public condemnation of Israel! Last I checked Israel was offically a SECULAR country!
I personally cannot wait until a European or American unit lights up the IDF. I am dissapointed the strike force launched in response to the Liberty incident was recalled!
I am ashamed that my tax dollars go to that nation. Israel might be the most arrogant little nation in world, it like the stupid rich kid in class that thinks his sh*t dont stink and mommmy and daddy will protect him. Someday the big boys will tire of his whining and spank him themselves! [/RANT]
Why would you screw with the French??? Remember last time an air force screwed with them??? They destroyed the entire air force in a SF raid. Im all for it, open up on the Isrealis. Give them a rude awakeing that arent playing with third world powers and technology…
Look what they did to the Germans last month… seriously, what are they thinking???
