No, because power=fuel, so increased power comes at the expense of reduced range.

Whoever told you the An-2 is “invisible to radar” was lying to you and/or stupid. Rest assured that reality is completely opposite of that statement.

Counterpoint: There’s probably dozens live, but dud, missiles sticking out of the sand in any number of mideast countries. If China HAS to have one of these, they probably already scooped them up.

Given the 4 wing tanks, it’s probably a KA-6 tanker, a crucial piece of any long range strike package.

It’s either a -300 or -400. It has the expanded upper deck.

Your econ is weak, son.

I’ve seen schools that *still* have some business majors in the liberal arts college. That’s where they grew from, before becoming so large they became a college unto themselves.

You’re so bankrupt all you have left are misapplied memes. Admit you were wrong and all will be forgiven. You’re not the first person to make an ass of himself on the internet.

You talk a lot of shit for someone who has been demonstrably wrong about everything. It’s actually rather amusing. You’re like the Donald Trump of Foxtrot Alpha.

You really suck at research. F-22 *cruises* (M1.72) faster than the F-35 can fly at all (M1.61).

As I said, you can’t bluster your way out of actual facts. That’s not cruising, it’s coasting. The jet uses burners to breach max speed and then reduces to military thrust and flys along a straight line (in this case for about 12 whole minutes) until falling to a sustainable speed. That trick is not new or unique to…

Like I said, you don’t know what you’re talking about. Hint: the missile never reaches mach 4 if you launch it too low or too slow.

You appear to have no idea what you’re talking about. A large LARGE part of maximizing missile range launch speed. It’s why combat jets like the F-15, 16 and 35 were designed to go supersonic at all, even though the engines amd fuel system weren’t built to sustain such speeds for more than 5 minutes. Hit burners,…

Good poin . There are a lot of awful people in Texas. I suggest we solve it with nuclear weapons.

Maybe I should clarify. Sure, STOVL affects the B mod, as they have to cut a lot of weight and move around some internals to make it work. Hence how the CTOL is rated for 9G and the STOVL 7G, because the USAF model had enough left in its larger weight budget for the necessary reinforcement.

No...STOVL doesn’t affect speed or turning, just range (space is used for fuel on A & C models).People who have suggested otherwise were talking out of their asses. There’s 2 reasons why that chart looks like that. 1) F-15 and F-22 are LARGE and expensive twin engine air superiority fighters, different class of jet…

We already did that and it’s called the AIM-120D. it and AIM-54 are in the 80nm class (Phoenix was not able to engage fighters at more than that), which is as far as any RoE would allow.

They’re not waiting in line for paper products, but certain foods are hard to find since Russia’s self-inflicted embargo. Russian men still drink themselves into an early too, though white uneducated Americans have joined them.

Umm...no, that’s not how the world works. It’s not a board game with unalterable rules. Turkey can simply pull out of the treaty, and if everyone but Russia let’s them do (which they can do by simply remaining neutral), they get away with it unless Russia wants to use force (against a NATO member) to try to return the…

Huh. I’d expect fossil denial in some half-assed, unaffiliated Evangelical ‘bible church’, not a Catholic school. At least in the 20th century.
