“This inspired the Mig-25”
Similar problems lead to similar solutions.A-5,XF-108,MiG-25 and even the early stage variants of XB-70 have “wedge” intakes. MiG-25 also was considered in different variants,some looking like bigger MiG-21.Also by the time of the first flight of the prototype of A-5 the soviet designed Tu-125 bomber in this shape.

The Netherlands was example of attack against USA allies wich is possible with Shahab-4(at least claimed).And next time YOU read my post.Early shot?What is more early than Turkey?Why not in your new friends from Georgia?And TODAY will be atleast some years.Because it’s imposible that Iran will develop a missile of 10 000-12 000 range in recent future.Just look of the ICBM missiles that China developed and how much time were spend in research.
And i wonder in what alltitude the iranian missile will be when crossing Poland?Will the intercept be that easy?And what if Iran want to strike with their ICBM of TOMMOROW Chicago?Use again Google Earth and see which country’s the red line cross. Because i give you two exaples of missile sites that are much more “good” for defence,and also defend all USA allies in Europe including Israel and Turkey in Middle East.I don’t reject the right of USA to defend,but placing the interceptors in Poland is just STUPID.

“Since you obviously don’t see a difference between the US and Iran let me spell it out for you.

1. Iran has publicly threatened Israel with nuclear annihilation.

2. The US has no desire to start a nuclear war with Russia. Comprende’?

1.Israel is enemy of Iran.They threatened them many times,but i don’t remember any mention of nuclear annihilation(i also can be mistaken).They don’t have any A-bomb remember?And USA threatened Iran with military action also…
2.Why you mention that?Maybe you mean that Iran wants to start nuclear war with USA?They don’t have the bomb and the missile to do that,so it is just stupid.

“Forward basing missiles in Poland gives you an early shot at Iranian ICBMs. Ukraine, Finland or Sweden would be better but I doubt they’d be interested.”

Can you tell me wich iranian missile have the range to strike for example Netherlands?And maybe you need to study geography better.Finland and Sweden used to stop Iranian missiles?From what?Striking the Santa on the North pole?Much better choises are Turkey,Greece,Bulgaria,Romania(at least some reason here),Austria……Missiles in Poland can defend West Europe just in case they are deployed near the border with Germany.

At least they do some impressive stunts before the crash…

How about something bigger.Building small models is hard,but the project of this german guy is just challenging.

This are just few shots from his site http://www.su27.de
Here is all pictures: http://www.su27.de/inhaltindex.htm

It’s sad that there is no videos of F-14/15.Videos of Su-27…37 and MiG-29 are so easy to find and are trully impressive.

danrh well,she loves fighters,and especialy MiG-29A.Even wanted to study for military pilot.Here in Bulgaria something like 6 girls a year study for pilots.But i convinced her to study for more down-to-earth job.
I wish there was school to teach girls to love our hoby’s …she will never like MiG-21 or Phantom or Me-109….but watch more soccer than me. 😀
