And there we go again. The Americans…

Can we keep the debate around facts ? It’s a product. A product selected in term of perfs and capabilities.

When your wife go to the supermarket to buy some detergents, do you submit her to such diatribes about the US and how buying bleach and other products increase the US dominion on the Freedom of Eu ?

Well, see it as it is: the 35 promise juts to be a flying bleach jug. Clean your skies from intruder, swap enmy forces from the ground, pinpoint and erase any group of maniac killer wrapping their madness with ideologies where ever they hide.

Oh, and don’t call my post irrational… I am just straying for a minute in your rhetoric…

Bull of the highest magnitude. The F35 sells only because of the immense power of the good old US of A. It has nothing to do with perfs & capabilities whatsoever.

If you want to prove the superiority of the IAF against the neighbouring counties, look no further than the kill count of the Mirage III, which is pretty much a contemporary to Mig 21. Israel received less than 80 of them, & claimed 48 kills in the six days war, & 106 during Yom Kippur war; while at the same time, the IAF claims 5 Mirage III losses in AtoA engagements. That’s just as impressive as the kill ratio of the F15.

Edit: Locally produced Mirage derivatives aren’t counted in those stats, with Neshers claiming another 140 victories during the Yom Kippur war.

Is it just me or have there been a lot of dramatic flashes and bangs in the sky recently….?

I wonder what is the most scary, the light flash or the music that bloke is listening to.

And who is flying SAPIR?

The same blokes that are flying operational F35s.

I agree.
I would say more : there is less propaganda in RT than in France 2.

Speaking of France 2, I still fondly remember one episode of “envoyé special” where the journalists were going disguised and with hidden cam so some terrorist organization wouldn’t know they are in the country and kidnap them, while they were going to… interview the chief of that organization 😀

Holy crap that thing is fugly.

But how do they do it without a swashplate? :apologetic:
