Almost as bad as the 43 Sqn RAF F-16s in ID4 (with a Canberra Serial Number).

Yeah I remember that scene … sickening.

Yeah, there’s something broken somewhere when again and again they want to scrap an aircraft that again and again has proven its worth.

My father owned 2 BMWs in a row, both of which had cylinder heads blow.

Now he drives Mercedes.

accents

examples: é = accent aigu
è = accent grave
ê = accent circonflexe

ç = cédille

That’s it 😉

So some are called accents, some aren’t … there’s no collective term for them all?

No biggie, I”ll just continue calling them squiggles.

Is there a collective name for those squiggles sticking out from many of the characters? I asked at work but people said there wasn’t.

What’s so “advanced” about the Flanker-H’s FCS?

And both the Rafale and the EF-2000 have “superb aerodynamics”.

The Mica is NOT equivalent to the AMRAAM … it is more similar to the ASRAAM.

Could you give a source that shows that the RCS of the Rafale is significantly lower than that of the EF-2000?

You don’t have to recognise the state of the target’s control surfaces … a simple extrapolation of its trajectory would be better than nothing.

How do you think things like Phalanx are able to lead their targets?

Yes, missiles can predict trajectory, to a certain extent. Of course if youre flying straight – they dont know if youll start turning left or right next milisecond. But lets say you start getting in a turn for example, it knows its harder for you to change your trajectory out of that turn in a short moment – and it can position itself to wait for you as you get out turn. Theoretically. In reality of course, proximity fuses and area covering explosions are the means of choice for killing a plane, warhead permitting.

Thank you.
