So, do you have something against Kuwaitis? Are Kuwaiti journalists in your book incapable of conducting an impartial interview?

WOW, gives a new meaning to putting words in somebody’s mouth.

I have nothing against Kuwaitis, I just wanted to remind you that in this particular case, we have only one source which is unfortunatly biased to the max because of certain historic events.

Are you seriously suggesting that the Farmer on his own disabled the Apache with only his trusty old bangstick?

not at all, I just said I’ve seen pics of it’s interior with traces of 23mm hits, which makes perfect sense to me.

Lt. Col. Eric Nelson gave details of 99-5135s eventual demise:

http://www.csmonitor.com/2003/0507/p04s01-woiq.html

There was never two of them in Iraqi hands. Later on in the conflict the Iraqis released previously unseen footage of 99-5135 claiming that it was yet another Apache downed and captured. The give away was that the M261 rocket launcher was shown to have EXACTLY the same number of rockets spent as in the original footage of 99-5135. Bit of a giveaway!

I really don’t care if there was one or two, it’s nigligable in comparison with the total war losses, besides the Iraqi army lost the war anyway and debating about them shooting down one or two Apaches is a waste of time and wouldn’t change the result would it?.

now debating about current losses is a different thing because the resistance is on going and the result of it’s struggle isn’t clear yet, unlike the result of the actions of the former regiem.

Next time you have a Parade, could you please take a bloody Camara with you lol. Then Post the results on here, im sure it will make a lot of people happy! 😀

I’m sure my family won’t be among them :p .

Arthur, a few years ago the Italian air force show team did a show over Minakh AB that was attended by the public and aired life on Syrian TV.

they visited the base for a few days so I’m sure they had many pics right?.

yes we do have parades, the SyAAF shows in each and every occassion, I’ve been over flown by MiG-23s, MiG-25s, Mi-8s and SA.342s so many times I can’t remember how many actually.

I was once over flown by MiG-29s and many times by MiG-21s.

we simply don’t print pics of these aircraft … that’s all, actually the MiG-23s fly so low over Damascus during the October 6th celibrations that you can recognize each and every detail.

the weekly show prepared by the ministry of defense usually contains incredable stuff and is showed at 17:30 on monday each week!.

last year the Israeli air force magazine had stills from one of those shows.

Kfadrat, welcome back.
No, I believe he was using the term “inferior” to describe the situation the Syrian Airforce was in.
BTW do you have any pics of Israeli fighter planes shot down over Lebanon in 1982?

I posted one in here a few weeks ago, thanks for the welcome 🙂 .

or else .

Or else, habibi? Gotta love such macho statements . Don’t worry: most Zionists are slightly smarter than making statements this dumb.

or else I would report you to WM, but I think you were smart enough to think about that possibility yourself, being a zionist and all :rolleyes: .

we all know you have issues and the discussions on ACIG.org show that very well.

ok, this is getting sooooooo boring … while in this particular case, I was shocked by the news in the ACIG.org article, I still can’t understand the way some here are trying to portrait things, the mere idea of trying to mix ACIG with the idiots at world tribune and debka files and meaddle east news is stupid to say the least, there is a big difference here, the other sites are just propaganda sites run by you know who, especially debka files, full of crab, while the people at ACIG actually do research and know what they are talking about, those accusing them of being behind fame know nothing about what they are talking about!

what do you think? that I’m happy about the shoot down reports? I’ll be the first to be glad to know they didn’t happen – the 2001 ones, we know the 2004 ones are fake – but until somebody comes with counter evidence I’ll have to stay nuetral on this one and niether support the claim or deny it 🙁 .

well, if it’s not the F-16 then what would it be?.

there are already almost one thousand F-16s in AMARC … Washington doesn’t play fare in the international market you know.

some of my predictions might be strange but I still have a feeling they’ll happen:

2005 will see – finally – some serious air to air combat, doesn’t anybody miss that any more??? :confused: .

some of the previously un_fair_done_to AAMs will fare unexpectedly well in 2005.

Royal Saudi Air Force will not retire it’s F-5s and will not satisfy a large company’s wet dream by buying F-16s.

the JAS-39 will do just fine on export market.

stelth + tomahawk-like weapons will prove – again – to be the only correct way to start a war.

more ugly F-16s will crash to satisfy Arthur’s crashed laundarters’ pictures collection desire, and mine too :diablo: .

finally, we’ll be hearing about a dozen new Russian modrenisation programes for each and every single type in service and none of them will finally become reality, ok I admit I’m cheating now from previous years.
