The Turks being Turkic instead of Arabs, they will do better

Just light these d-21s but keep bolted on...

I’ve tired to like Russian jets but the only ones I love are made by....

Anyone have any requests? I love sharing these pics.

Ask and ye shall receive....

The Iron Cross is used by the modern German Air Force and ww1 era planes.

We have much more in common with Iran than the other gulf states. They aren’t Arab nomads but an actual historically civilized culture with an economy, universities, scientists, and optimism in the not so distant past. Trade may lift the people up and push the mullahs down.

I pity whoever sinks a US carrier...

Iran may be able to double its tiny production but it’s going to take years to rebuild there systems, which means they need westerners willing to work there which maybe means peace.

The Turks have 247 f-16 block 50 upgraded and 47 f-4 2020.

Greece and turkey both love to play chicken with their jets... Maybe it’s a Mediterranean thing.

Turkey is only in NATO As a buffer to the Soviet Union. I don’t think anyone would sign the now.

Inertial ring laser gyroscopes should allow no problems even without glosnass and they can always use GPS if they need too.

Not normal CAP but a fighter sweep aka offensive counter air or when a swarm is inbound, it would be useful. Those are not Boeing planes but US navy and Australian planes and that is a real load for the Aussie SH. So the weapons are tested, software/hardware integrated, they already own the pylons, the missiles, etc.…

Never? You’re right that they usually don’t carry more than six but here’s pictures carrying 12 missiles and they can carry 14 if needed. The Super can carry 8 and three external tanks to solve the range problem. Aim-120 only weighs 335 pounds so about 4,000 pounds for 12 plus six pylons is another 1,500 pounds plus…

22 is commonly listed at .0001 and the 35 at .001sq.m

The f-117 opsec was bad and the Serbs got lucky. The 35 is far stealthier than anything besides the b-2 and is probably at least as good as the 22.
