Don’t feed the troll 😉

That would be you, douchebag. :diablo:

Now. For the uninitiated, DON~T EVER DARE to say something negativ or offending about anything made in the US of A. NEVER. That`s cardinal rule No1 in this forum, remember that. 😀

“It is totally unbelievable that the Russian Air Force was unable to establish air superiority almost to the end of the five-day war, despite the fact that the enemy had no fighter aviation“.

Still no need for AWACS and battlefield management since ten MiG-31 can act as flying shield and ground radarstations can be airlifted in, the day before the war begins. Yadda yadda..

Well at least this Lt Gen Vladimir Shamanov seem to be a clever man. Good for Russia there are brave men like him, and not just uber patriotic chest bangers. The first sign of recovery is to admit ther is an illness that needs to be treated, not ignored. I am revieled to read this article because if this general can influence things in Kremlin and the DoD in the right way, the RuAF might actually learn something from this, react, adapt, evolve and finally grow mouch stronger. So, in fact this might have been a “neccisary evil” or a wake up call. Just hope the generals in charge draw the right conclutions and take appropriate actions. Cuz next time it could be F-15Es and B1Bs dropping JDAMs, (before Appaches and A-10s move in close with Hellfires and clusterbombs) and no ZSU-23-2 mounted on a flat bed lorry will save the poor infantryboys then…

Oh my, you work for the Pentagon, right ?

Well I`am sure the russian officers are full of praise for your precious advices :rolleyes:

Logan Hartke, thanks for sharing your experiences with us. In my view, the F-15 E Strike Eagle, or the F-15 in general is the most under-appreciated fighter plane in military aviation history. It is superior to the variants of Su-27 in all respects, including possibly manoeuverability also.

This is because, despite being much lighter than Su-27 and able to carry much higher external weapon-load, it can execute 9G manouevers. Thus, under only canons, it is likely to outmanouever the Su-27.

:rolleyes: That`s why the yanks flying F-15s(at home) lost the dogfights against the Su-27

On 31 Aug 1981 C. L. “Kelly” Johnson announced that the SR-71 (class) has had over 1000 missiles launches against it, but none successful 😀

“What ended up with the best air-to-air kill ratio during TLP?”
