You clearly don’t know much about the Western fighter community do you!

It is very different from the Topgun playboy image that many people have, Western fighter pilots are trained to be managers and analysts.

In the west pilots are encouraged to talk to each other, manage missions with multiple platforms and resources then analyse the outcome.

This process is fostered with exchange pilot tours and Qwalified Weapons Instructor Courses (thats the RAF term but it carries true accoss NATO).

Your right that he is not going to know system details and he even joked about using Janes for research but he would be qualified to analyse what happened and draw conclusions about the MKI and BISON.

U have to understand. it takes very long time to get deal with IAF and it takes even longer to implement. So that technology that was offered in early 90s for both RAM and Kopyo is obsolete by Russian standards. So his merely analysing obsolete stuff.

If operational pilots don’t show it, doesn’t that mean it’s not tactically useful, as it’ll wear the airframe out? An over G state isn’t any more relevant than running your engines past redline and burning them up, for a brief burst of speed.

There is no evidence of IAF doing it and it is high unlikely in air to ground operations. he cannot even correctly say the version of MKI.
whole video has so many inconistencies.

there are so many accuracies in briefing by mixing equipment/manufactures/timelins/versions/country of origin. does not look any background research.

Empty weight of fighter：
a. 15,196 kg（Early F-15E with F100-PW-220）
b. 15,695 kg（Late F-15E with F100-PW-229）

5. Empty weight of the two CFTs：
a. 1,981 kg（Early F-15E with F100-PW-220）
b. 1,990 kg（Late F-15E with F100-PW-229）

6. Fuel capacity：
a. Internal fuel loading：6,129 kg (JP-8)
b. CFTs’ fuel loading：
* 4,436 kg（Early F-15E with F100-PW-220）
* 4,439 kg（Late F-15E with F100-PW-229）
c. External fuel loading：5,645 kg（610 US gallons tanks*3）
d. Maximal fuel loading：
* 16,209 kg（Early F-15E with F100-PW-220）
* 16,212 kg（Late F-15E with F100-PW-229）

7. Maximal external loading：11,113 kg

8. MTOW：36,742 kg

15,695kg (empty does this include AESA radar equiped SG)+ 1990kg(CFT)=17,685kg empty+ 10568kg fuel(internal+CFT)=28,253kg-36742kg= 8,500kg Maximum external load with full internal fuel load.

A single pilot can never replace a crew of radar operators in terms of the workload management. A fighter will never have a radar that is as capable as that on board an AWACS plane, even in workload wasn’t an issue.

MIG-31 operates at twice the heights of AWACS and it twin engine are producing as much thrust as 4 engine AWACS. Even 80s its radar can see as far as AWACS of that era. IRBIS is range is no less than AWACS of present era. And u dont need operators for analysing radar returns. it is the job computers/artificial intelligencer to identitify/priorities/anyalyse threats and take corrective actions. When they advertize BARS first time a decade ago. why they said it can create protrait of target and count the blades in engines of airline.

Well I have just come from a seminar hosted by Peter Newton, along with a few Airbus and RR reps – on Civil Aviation Growth and Emissions – Mr Newton being the assistant director of the Aviation Environment at the Deparment of Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform.

According to him the UK aerospace industry had a turnover of 19.84 billion pounds in 2007 – with 43.3 billion pounds in oders. Making it the second largest aerospace industry in the world.

I dont know how it come to 19B pound a year. Both BAE/RR has other busineses and like energy/marine/systems. some of the turnover is from overseas subsidiaries. And aerospace includes Space Industry and services which UK has none.

As i said before, british empire withered long back, they were only riding the ghost of it till now. With this financial mess that is also not helping.

Now touring the gulf begging…

Do anyone see hope for British Aircraft still??

The only hope left for British aircraft is when they convert to Peoples Democratic Republic of Great Britain and turn House of commons into Politbureau
After EasternEU/Gulf now dalai lama. what next with money left in the world?

this seems to me the fasted application of TVC seen. 360 degree turn in about 3 seconds. Su-35/PAK-FA with superior FBW/TWR/Sleeker profile will be better.
