This was my suggestion, though a Phaeton W12 would be a good alternative. They’re also expensive, rare, undesirable for anyone who isn’t a massive nerd, and horribly unreliable.

A custom race Powerglide could probably handle it.

Yes. The Turks are one of the larger M60 users these days, and offer a variety of modernization packages, which they don’t seem to have many of, seeing as that one doesn’t even have ERA.

Preferably on Barrett Jackson or some other sales venue that would bring out people with more money than sense. Maybe one of those Japanese classic car shows on the west coast?

If the Italian Mafia were a gang of RPG slinging religious fanatics driving around beheading people for not speaking with a sufficiently cheesy New York accent, then the American people might be ok with foreigners bombing said fanatics. It would help if said foreigners weren’t dropping dumb bombs on schools and…

If by ‘troops’ you mean ‘Columbian mercenaries’, then yes, I’m sure they will be glad to once they finish dawdling outside of Ta’iz in Yemen.

I’d guess wine or scotch, but we’re both in the ballpark.

Crack pipe. I’m normally an apologist for 80’s oddities, but this is way too much money for way too mediocre a car. I’d rather have this ‘89 IROC-Z Camaro convertible for $11k. It’s also rare, but also mildly desireable and has no roof!

The Toyota Auris styled after Char’s Zaku. Couldn’t they have picked something cooler than an economy hatch for the Red Comet?

Flares are somewhat effective against IR (AIM-9 Sidewinder, R-73) missiles, but the Su-24 was shot down by a radar guided AIM-120 AMRAAM. There are countermeasures against radar guided missiles (chaff, jamming), but they aren’t a get-out-of-jail-free card. Modern missiles all have anti-countermeasure programming built…

Their engines looked great too - Tuned Port Injection has to be the coolest looking fuel injection system ever placed in an American car.

That’s exactly what I was looking for, though I didn’t quite know how to ask for it. The comparable American radar sets was particularly helpful. Thank you!

Dark blue never went away, but the lighter shades have come and gone. It seems like every concept car these days is blue, most manufacturers offer a few shades, and Volvo and Subaru even have the guts to sell the awesome, smurf Polestar blue to the public. I’m just glad we have options.

I’m glad manufacturers have fallen in love with blue again. Blue cars are awesome.

So, if these are SARH missiles, how capable is the Su-34’s radar against aerial targets? Does it have fully functional air-to-air modes, like the F-15E Strike Eagle does?

I don’t think the Su-24 can mount air-to-air missiles, though I’m sure you could strap R-73s or other IR missiles to them in a pinch, much like the US military has mounted AIM-9s on anything that flies. In any case, I doubt the electronics are set up for air-to-air engagements, so it would be an emergency capability,…

F-16s have used APG-68s since the Block 25. It’s much more capable than the original APG-66. The Turks fly Block 30s, 40s, and 50s, but an upgrade program is in effect to bring them all up to Block 50 standard, so the F-16’s radar is pretty modern.

They’re active with the Indian Air Force under the RVV-AE designation (an export variant - it’s not clear how it differs from the baseline). Some of the other Su-30 export customers - the Vietmanese, Maylasians, and others - might have the export variant as well.

Shut your whore mouth! The A-4 is sexy, especially the hump-less early models:

The Camry has side marker lights on the fenders - that makes it European market, or maybe somewhere in Asia or South America.
