It's way cheaper to let the yanks do the bombing. I couldn't believe it when I heard we were sending 6 SH's over. I mean, we rarely even drop a real bomb in live fire stuff. Pilots might go their whole career and only fire 1 missile. Yet here we are now, sending a pointless 6 aircraft just to show we are in the…

Yep. Super Hornets will do for another 20 years if you're a US buyer & you need planes soon. Hopefully then, we'll have some good choices too. The super has 2 engines, hook, 2 seats, ok internal fuel, ok performance & is multi-mission. It'll let Canada do what they already do with the Hornets, just better & with a…

Don't ever forget the difference between the highly trained & the highly motivated, & the not.

When you don't want 'em any more, give Australia a couple of dozen! We'll make sure they're in the air and fighting over US troops for the next 30 years, I guarantee it. We're gonna be there with you anyway and I for one would rather see us in an aircraft that makes a difference to the fight, not just an F-35A.

I dunno about that mate. There are boots on the ground, its just that they're Special Forces, not regular units, so we all say there ain't boots on the ground. I reckon if -10 did go down hard & not in a safe place, there would be a shit storm to get them back with plenty of SF guys available to get the job done. I…

Why don't the media call them the sexy bombers? Or, the fast bombers. Or, how about the carrier eaters.

Can I just correct one of your former statements mate? Now I'm sorry for my frankness & all, but the simple fact is, no-one in the west gives a flying fuck about Russia. Neither Australia, nor Canada, nor the USA, nor most of Western Europe gets a damn thing from you but the odd bottle of vodka. If Vladimir Putin…

These guys are fucking champions, I don't care about the minor risks involved. The lead pilot looked like he could have pulled that move with his eyes closed, look now little he used the controls to pull the whole thing off. Poetry in motion.

Is everyone forgetting the "home on jam" function on the SS-N-19? Go ahead, switch on your EW, then it doesn't need to even use its radar to hit you. Also, why are you so confident about AEGIS? It may be designed for exactly this threat - & it was - but that doesn't change the laws of physics. Namely that the…
