Never played Call of Duty.

Look at Navies, look at airpower, look at every measure.

And then NATO ends Russia...

Just look at the balance of forces. Even with cut backs over the last 15 years the difference is enormous.

Only the Turkish Air Force isn’t grounded is it....

Not really. How much can Russia actually deploy? They can’t move it all from the East.

The West has been training for, and successfully rolling back and destroying Russian air defence systems for 40 years.

Covert operations are one thing. Assassinations are another. In the UK’s case the Israelis were caught using British passports in the 1980's in an assassination attempt. When they were caught red handed they agreed never to use UK passports in operations again. They later broke that pledge when they carried out an

No they were defintely for you..

Have a look at the ammo capacity of any modern fighter. Most have a similar amount. Certainly the Su-27 derivatives and Typhoon carry the same. And I’d rather have 180 rounds of 25-30mm cannon shells than the 480 20mm in the F-22 as the 20mm shell is really not much use for anything with a dreadful trajectory, range

Given that the AIM-54 didn’t work until the mid-late 80's and the AWG-9 was very unreliable you’re not far wrong...

Errrrr. Yes we can.

Unfortunately it seems no-one took the job....

Peak potential will only be when all Block 4 stages are complete. Probably around 2026/27.

Now playing

“The problem with the F-35A is that its not meant to be a fighter, and with a missile bay that can only carry 4 missiles, and no gun pod..”

Spot.On.

That will be autonomy Kurdish style...which is near independence. Either way Assad’s writ won’t run there.

Its perfect at the moment. Iran, Assadist Syria, Hezbollah and Russia fighting it out with Jihadis, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar.....all while the oil price tumbles.

Even if Assad wins, he can’t get the Kurd areas back, or for that matter suppress the inevitable insurgency in non-government areas.
