Couple things, the greatest airplanes in the world don’t mean jack shit if you don’t have a decent pilot flying them....and that is very expensive to do.

Second thing, the US military already has a S-300 in its possession and the IAF has already gone up against it in Syria successfully with non-stealth F-15s. I’m sure…

In all seriousness, I don’t think it would be all that much cheaper for the UK to make a navalised Eurofighter..the only bought 160 for the RAF and to make 100 or so Naval Eurofighters would cost a small fortution and plus lack the stealth abilities that the F-35 offers.

The problem is that you are hung up on the actual designation of the F-xx or “fighter” designation. There have been plenty of Fighters or Pursuit planes (the previous Army Air Corp designation) that haven’t been good “dogfighters” out there in the past 70-80 years.

Lets talk about UAV’s or UCAV’s, your being native to…

It all depends on what the threat is if its using wing stores...if it’s something like Lybia or Iraq were the A2A or ground threat is next to nothing, it really doesn’t matter. But if its day one of Desert Storm, it’s going in full stealth mode.

That is a point alot of people are missing...your 4th gen fighters don’t…

I think the biggest problem is the misunderstanding about the program...just look at the name:

Hey don’t talk shit about the Bradley...I spent 28 months of my life wrenching on them and my other time with the MLRS that is based of a off modified chassis of the Bradley. Never had any huge issues with them (maybe the transmissions, but that was fixed in later models with an electronically controled one)....it…

FoST

When I went to the ST Academy thing a few years ago, the seats where fine, but I hated the side support on the seat back...I felt like I was getting poked in my kidney area and pushed away from seat back. I’m 6’2 with a 34 inch waist, so its not like I’m spilling out all over the place.

Couple thoughts on this...I started driving 23 years ago in New Jersey. We used to have a yearly safety/emissions inspection every year. The lines to get it done where out of this world on weekends or off work hours. In the late 1990s and early 2000’s they did away with the yearly inspections then increased it to now…

Mine was nearly 25K lower then what I actually make...

With that being said, that whole article reeks of propaganda...not to mention if you had the capacity to do that, why would you be showing it off in a Peacetime environment?

The Russian/Soviet Armed Forces have been made up to be 100Ft tall to help justify spending $$ in the US…

I’m thinking Morgan Stanley’s 90% number on the F-series is complete bullshit. I’m sure its still high, but no way its 90% of worldwide profits. When Mulally took over, he decreed that all cars that Ford made (well at least in North America) would break even or make a profit. I don’t think they would be able to just…

Roughly 29 gas stations located between Baltimore and DC....thats a joke! Doesn’t do any good who is north or east of Baltimore.

If I had extra money and unlimited garage space I want a 86 SVO to add to my collection of cars.

That’s a good bad thing, I’d rather have a quieter car for a daily driver then one that is loud...I never noticed how loud my 2006 Mustang GT was till I got my 2013 SHO...LOL

Where? I’ve never seen it outside of Wisconsin at a regular gas station

Too bad E85 is next to impossible to get outside of the Mid-west

Too bad the 2002 SVT Focus (well in my experience) was a giant POS.

And whats wrong with the Ecoboost I4 in the Mustang? Add in a tune and your messing with V8 Mustang GT. The V6 is the fleet convertible special you get in some sun drenched area when you go on vacation.

When I was stationed in Germany, a friend of a friend in the Army had one of these:
