The post asks if Soviet pilots flew the F-14.
It doesn’t ask if the Soviets acquired an F-14
Another Trump False Flag, Militants Claims of Chlorine Attack Turn out to be American Made… [ Editor’s note: The chemical shell being presented to the US as having been used by the Syrian Arab Army is part of a group VT sources say were manufactured in Ukraine to US specification but stupidly labeled by the Kiev regime in English with US specification.
They were supplied through Turkey to al Qaeda in Idlib province, where they were loaded with chlorine gas. The US has contracts with arms companies in Romania, Bulgaria and Ukraine to supply ISIS, al Qaeda and the “moderate head choppers,” who in reality no longer exist, to support their captured Russian made multiple rocket launchers.
Earlier Sarin attacks used American contracted materials from the National Reference Lab or “Lugar Lab” in Tbilisi, Georgia, delivered to terrorists by Ukrainian security forces and blamed on the Syrian Army…. read more: https://www.veteranstoday.c…
Apparently Turkish authorities tried to get the pilot before the inevitable happened..
#Syria // #Idlib // Turkish authorities are attempting to gain hold of the captured Russian pilot of the Su-25 shot down moments ago near saraqeb. Rebels are assaulting the pilot and pushing for a swift execution before external intervention.
The conflict is down to a simmer but its still all out war in some areas. This is war. War will have casualties.
what a beautiful mix that su 19 is. su 27 wing shape. Old school Mig tail, su 24 intakes and Mig 25 cockpit/nose.
@swerve
what makes you sure that they wont scrap it ? Its non performing. Structural problems.
“Luftwaffe sources tell me, if Germany’s Air Force Chief says ‘F-35′ once again, he will likely be fired. Seems political leadership is still learning towards EU-solution (either nuke-capable Typhoon upgrade or new European jet,” German journalist and defense expert Christian Theils said in a January 30 tweet.
This is awesome to watch. We are witnessing the rebirth of a new soverign German state
Visually, nothing. MiG-35 is a made up designation.
The manufacturer decided name one of its product lines the Mig-35. So it is the Mig-35 now.
Egypt ordered just when the name change/marketing happened. The Egyt ones are Mig 35’s. Custom order, but Mig 35’s.
@stealthflakner
The 3rd country or Russia itself need to find alternative financing scheme for the deal to proceed.
They already have currency swap lines in place. This is a total puff piece meant to amp up US soft power where there is none. These sanctions are meant to stifle business between Russia and US Yes Man client states. Non alighned states are not effected
How will this affect Russian export in future when US is threatening 3rd country with sanction if they buy Russian defence products
It wont effect it at all. World trade did indeed exist before the US dollar was invented. Ask the British empire.
You are bringing too much politics into this thread with this question.
@sandiago89
I slightly disagree b/c this was the 3 to 3.5 gen era before the sleek and light F-16’s Mig 29’s and stuff came out. It was an era in flux. I mean the F-14 was too heavy to be considered a pure fighter. All of the jets in this timeframe were a blend of the fighter bomber role.
Where as previously we had the small/light strap on rockets like the Migs and Sabers. Then after this era we kinda went back to that with the Mig 29’s, F-16’s su 27’s and F-15’s.
Voodoo

yeah true.
@Rat
I dunno about the F-111 being in the same league as the F-14.
Not a fair timeframe with the freaking F-14 counting but not the su 27 or Mig 29.
yeah Ill take a Mig 21 over a F-14 mahaha not.
Edit: I’ll take my chances with a Mig 25 Foxbat actually.
But the question is still a setup.
