Burger, you’re always good for a laugh!

But sadly not much good for anything else. :diablo:

Sorry burger boy, I couldn’t resist, SOC made it way too easy.

One advantage the Russians have is that everything is cheaper in Russia – including the design and construction of a 5th gen combat jet. Western companies have known for ages that no matter where you are in the world low-wage workers = low cost products.

Ken,

I hope you’re taking at least one camera (of course you are!) – can’t wait to see the results. Keep us posted!

Miroslave,

Ako zelis da se suprostavis njegovoj ocigledno laznoj istoriji tog regiona bolje bi ti bilo da to radis na drugaciji nacin posto svojim emotivnim i neracionalnim argumentima samo podrzavas njega kao ozbiljnog i razumnog dopisnika.

This is a most rediculous thread. It is threads such as this that drag this forum down.

On both sides of the discussion there is a great amount of distortion and mis-interpretation of the facts on everything from historical figures to current military data. To me this is a perversion of the very point of a forum – here nobody is exchanging information or ideas and nobody on the side-lines is able to learn anything (in as much as anything they do learn will most likely be false or distorted).

This is a topic which greatly interests me and about which I know a fair amount and yet I am too revolted by the childish bickering on both sides to try to contribute.

I just wish that people could maintain a some order and try to discuss things rationally.

Looks a bit like a love child of a Eurofighter and a Flogger – on steroids.

Thank you for that Stewart but I’ll stick with my original aircraft i.d. this time.

More G-2s again today – woke me up the loud b@st@rds. This time they did some extremely close formation flying – looked damn dangerous from where I was standing. Also, there’s a couple of Ministry of Internal Affairs Hueys doing some flying around at the moment, mostly in circles but still. Earlier they dropped some members of the 63rd Parachute Regiment on ‘Ada’ (the aforementioned beach). Fun stuff to watch from one’s balcony. Its all in aid of Belgrade’s first Sports Festival (taking place on Ada) which I might visit tomorrow as there’ll be a martial arts competition between members of the Special Police and Army SF which could be fun to watch. I’d also heard that the army had put in a team for the paintball competition against amateurs, but I don’t know if thats true or not.

PilotTHX,

First of all you should note that I am not English so I don’t give a damn about your inferiority complex or about your ‘our airshow is bigger’ cr@p. All I know is that I was at Le Bourget a couple of years ago and left with the impression that it could have been better organised. I don’t particularly care if you take that as some sort of insult to your nation because it isn’t meant as such – its just a statement of fact, plain and simple.
