Do they buy them...?

Pretty certain the BMP and Marder got there a little earlier...

125 mile against a transport aircraft.

Are they building better quality?

You missed the bit abput always having a tug nearby...

I know. It’s as if people don’t understand how the lights stay on in Damascus and Latakia......Assad has bought most of the ISIS oil and gas since they seized the fields. Which illustrates how incompetent the regime is in the first place when they lost Palmyra. As well as bombing the tanker trucks (and does anyone…

You could create a carrier body around a Storm Shadow type body with multiple Spear 3 inside in the next 4 years. Weight wise you could squeeze 8 in no problem.

You know the earth is round don’t you....

Wow...so what CAD package did they use in the late 1960’s.....

It could anlu be better with a Vigilante and Buccaneer in shot.....perhaps a Traver and Gannet...down low of course...

There is Rafale and Typhoon present...

The first picture might be one of the greatest formation pics ever. Sea Vixen, A-4. B-66, Crusader and Scimitar. Have you seen the one on Wikipedia...got an F-4 as well...

Air Power Australia (and Carlo Kopp) are a laughing stock in Australian military circles....as soon as someone mentions anything by them they know they’re talking to someone who really doesn’t know what they’re talking about.

Why would the F414 be an upgrade to the EJ-200? it offers no advantages and has a lower thrust to weight ratio plus is 6 inches wider. The EJ-200 also has an upgrade path that massively exceeds the F-414 with a 30% increase in thrust.

I‘m sorry, but you’ve got it the wrong way around. The Tornado was one of the new generation of jets that took advantage of the computer age. The F-15 was a slide rule bird. The Tornado has fly by wire, the F-15 doesn’t. FBW is the key divider between the ages. The length of time between first flight and acceptance is…

30% of coalition reconaissance missions over Iraq and Syria are RAF. The UK is second only to the US in airstrikes launched over Iraq. The difference is that we have the agreement of the Iraqi government. And understandably after recent wars that the UK has been involved in (namely Iraq, and partly Afghanistan) the…

And it’s 2 guns...2 x 27mm Mauser Bk-27.

The pylons on the wing swivel as the wings fold.

They only entered service in 1982....F-15’s entered service in 1976!!

It might shock you but the UK is the second biggest humanitarian donor to the Syrians. Second only to the US, and not by a massive margin. In fact the UK almost gives as much as the rest of the EU combined....
