Most random missile system ever.

Looks like more tweaking is in order.

I remember some time back we had a discussion on Typhoon ablity to break through thick ice ( > 2 m) and fire SLBM , although me andJonesy were of the opinion that would not be possible.

Some interesting info on Typhoon from “Cold War Submarine” by Norman Polmar

So it became possible all of a sudden eh? :rolleyes:

Jonesy isn’t the be all end all of Naval information.

In 2030 the USAF will have around 220 F-22s, 1500 F-35s, and 1200 or so UCAVs dedicated to tactical combat operations in addition to whatever bomber, cruise missile, and ICBM capabilities there are at the time.

Nothing wrong with that…..

Except that they won’t have 1500 F-35s? LOL.

I also agree here. The Israeli air-force can deal with a few S-300 batteries, even if the crew is appropriately trained. Nevertheless and quite likely that such batteries will increase the attrition threshold for an Israeli incursion.

5 battalions would be quite a capable system!

I am afraid, that soon MIG will cease to exist. It will be included into Incorporated Aviabuilding Corporation. But it does not mean, that will cease to let out fighters under name MIG. Simply at Sukhoy and Mikoyan there will be one director. I believe, that the information on working out of an Light fighter for the Russian Air Forces and export soon will start to arrive.

This is old news, there will be divisions in the UAC called Sukhoi and MiG, but it will be one corporation.

I sincerely doubt it will ever come to fruition, especially now with the “merger”. Russia is already putting all of it’s funds into the PAK FA, and along with the Su-35, I doubt they would actually put funds into a second fifth gen design since they already have one.

Yeah, really? You have their budget papers somewhere?

Can we see them? :rolleyes:

————————————-

MiG isn’t going to go anywhere while there are MiGs in service in the RuAF, which seem to be non-existent in the minds of the people posting here. Their UAV work will also be another reason they are going to stick around.

What the heck is that nonsense LOL!?

The Russians have been using RAM on aircraft starting with the Su-34/35, possibly even the Tu-160 according to some sources.
