The guy jumping, I thought it was Daniel Craig(007)!

Hurt Locker was amazing.

Yeah, they are saying it as a crash, not a shoot down.

And soon, even the drones won't have pilots. They will loiter and maybe a human will come in just to pull the trigger,

Holy shit! Makes you wonder why they don;t lose ships ever? to storms?

I was Army but I would love to go back and be Navy. As long as I could be in the captain's seat.

Of course. They will ALWAYS pick the more expensive thing at the expense of something cheaper even if it screws them.

Man, this was always one of my favorite planes. I guess because it looks old fashioned and boxey yet at the same high tech.

Is that their version of a MK-19?

Those ceremonial sks's are MINT! I had a Norinco but would love a Russian not siting around since 1956.

How did they shoot down the F15?

Yup. It's mostly about avionics and weapons anyways. And stealth is detectable anyways.

So does mean they can see our F-35?

Another great Clancy book he wrote was Red Storm Rising. It was a technically accurate look at what would happen if Russia and the US fought a conventional war in Europe in the 80's. It was amazing. He incorporated a comparison of everything from rifles to tanks.

The best movie of all time.

You might be right. It won't be that hard for it to have beat other planes with our advanced radar and missiles and semi stealth. It doesn't have to be able to fly into China or Russia.

Can China meet or beat the F-16, F-18, F-15?

P

Here's the thing. Japan plans on using F-35's on these, which means that Chinese fighters will eat their lunch.

Yeah, Canadians are still decent people. It's like they are 30 years behind America on the crazy curve.
