You are seriously ignorant if you think that Turks are afraid of a single SAM system. They are afraid that Russians might engage them air-to-air; they are simply being cautious, having provoked Russians more than enough.

Exactly! Sportscars have always been the most relevant type of car racing.
Awesome, eh.
What makes you think of that? It’s only a prototype, just like YF-22 or X-35.

Screw F1, screw NASCAR! Since the beginning of this decade, sportscar/endurance racing gave us some of the most memorable racing action of all times.
And it’s ower. What a race! And finally, we have an LMP2 winner.
I was the first one to mention Audi, as an example of a perfect and bulletproof racing team, which was the topic of this discussion. As I said, we were talking about racing programs in general.
Turks are not going to openly attack Russians without a very good reason. However, a small scale confrontation or an incident is very much possible. Just like that Su-24 shootdown.
Use of the cruise missiles would mean a much larger conflict; basically a full scale war. And it’s very unlikely that cruise missiles could take out a sizable portion of TuAF’s runways.
True, but the same layout is found on many US road courses (the garage behind a pit wall). It unnecessarily complicates the pit procedures, especially if the car has to be brought into a garage, without having any benefits, safety of whatever. It’s just an ancient system that refuses to die.
You misunderstood me; I didn’t mean USAF, but Luftwaffe. They have used F-104s in the ground attack role, where it performed surprisingly well, thanks to its low wing loading. F-4F was a Luftwaffe-only variant, a downgraded E model with lighter weight and better maneuverability but no BVR capability until the early…
They do; what I am puzzled with is the impractical location of the garages behind a pit lane.
8 is the number of fighters deployed by Russia in Syria; 4 each of the Su-30s and 35s. Su-34 is a strike aircraft with a reasonable air-to-air capability, but is certainly not a match for a pure fighter like F-16.
You didn’t get what I’m trying to say. A wall that separates the entire pit lane from the race track. On NASCAR-owned tracks, the pit wall actually separates the pit lane from the garages, but not the pit lane from the race track.
Even the NASCAR-owned road courses have that system, Road Atlanta being the best example. I would really like to know why are they using such a bacwards and impractical system.
Are you sure, because these have good arguments to sink the Russian case:
Can someone explain to me why do US oval racetracks have a pit wall with the pits and the garages behind it, as opposed to a normal concept of a pit wall separating the pit lane from the track?
