Oh yes, bring on the internet scholars who know more about what the Danish Air Force needs then the Danish Air Force!

“...so we’re all in agreement, I have 27 orders of shrimp fried rice, 3 orders of egg rolls, 5 crab ragoons, extra soy and sweet&sour sauce, right?

Seeing as how everyone else that throughly tested this F35 concluded it is under par with the previous gen planes, I highly doubt rhe validity of this “beats” every other fighter jet result..
This is probably where they managed to bribe (oh wait the capitalist word is “lobby”) officials to buy their shit.

Typed the words right outta my keyboard... isn’t that the same reasoning that got the DOD bent over a budgetary barrel and taking a trillion dollar dildo up the rear?

Seems like all the funny guys are here this morning! The right wing nuttters will be along soon though!

Good luck trying to get Fox to ever say that American Sailors were the “armed illegals crossing the border”.

We’re gonna need a bigger boat.

Could we make an exception and characterize Fox News as a “Nimitz-Class Douche Canoe” ? Please...

Extreme views on both sides are bullshit. I only trust one source to accurately report the news without any bias. I watch The Daily Show.

The “Russians” like to bolt things on huh?

Unless there’s some serious foreshortening here due to a long telephoto lens, I WOULD NOT want to be on top of that hill at this instant.

Vis a vis the Turkish shoot down Russia exercised restraint. And LOL if you think Russia should feel threatened by nato and the US. The whole colition is a clusterfuck with no leadership. Russia would shoot down a nato jet then what ? Breedlove phones Obama ? Whats the Nobel Peace prize winner gonna do ? Call on WW3 ?…

Russia already played its restraint card in Syria. Nobody else has. So they will have to fucking go apeshit on the next provocation. Its just that simple.

Its less about how petrified they are and more about the fact that Russia has a free shot at a Nato warplane in its back pocket that it plans on using when the time is just right. The US and the Nato lackeys know this.

Man you’re really reaching. Out of all the possible reasons for weapon selection you fixate on one of the least likely. What a joke.

Well, it has a tracking range of 600km - enough to reach neighboring countries. I am not saying that it would shoot every bird if it tried to get away and if it was 300km away when fired - but those pilots might have brown pants upon landing.

Of course, I don’t deny any of that - the OP just makes it sound like a plane has to fly over the freaking system before it is in danger, I am simply pointing the size of Syria and the (somewhat) effective range of S400

What kind of a dumb question is that? What in my post implies that? DO you seriously think that earth curvature over 400 kilometers would stop a S400 from going after a plane?

when it comes to the air war over Syria, Russia is largely the one deciding who, or at least what, goes where

No no, based on these articles, only Russia does that, and the coalition is doing this for world peace only.
