WHAT!?

H8rs gon b h8n...

Hah! Good one!

Jink and burners? Really? Maybe one of those AIM-9Gs from ~1967 will go for it, maybe - But a -9L? Archer? That’s one order of ‘Nooooooooope’ comin’ right up!

Ok, so he’s referring to the Red Flag Alaska “incident” with the F-22s being detected by Typhoons with an IRSTS that they didn’t have equipped?

It doesn’t work that way, or at least, it doesn’t work that way in the timeframe that everyone is thinking of (next 15 years, usually).

What good is it against anything?

Consider that the other two haven’t had much of this “development process”...

Ahh, F-15 ACTIVE and the X-31 in the same post...I like it!

Awesome!

*MIRV, but yes, that is an interesting idea.

Don’t forget to buy some of those $180 million F-35s y’all were talking about, as well!!!

Gotcha

These aren’t your usual MQ-__ out of Whereeverthefuck-istan, though...

That guy makes some amount of sense for 2 seconds then says some absolutely stupid shit...

How do you figure? If the Gripen wants to get anywhere it needs bags, pods, pylons, and weapons...The first 2 limit everyone to like mach 1.5 or so 9 times out of 10.

Usually cruise/loiter speeds on these things are something like that at low level.

Yay for overpriced 4th gen fighter with awful legs, yay!

Several types of military bands, perhaps?
