you know it's bad when Serbia votes against you

Still on paper mig 29 ( and its newer variant mig 35) are better on air to air confrontation

Gota admit russians are still better on that ( they only lack funding)

Sweden says it built a Russian fighter jet killer — and stealth is totally irrelevant

Sweden's Air Force said its Gripen E fighter jets are designed to kill Russia's fearsome Sukhoi fighters and have a "black belt" at it.

Oh for fuck’s sake. This is what I was talking about with the nukes shit. Miss one waypoint or whatever, someone gets trigger happy, someone else responds, and away we go.

The Mayans forgot to carry a 1 with the 2012 shit.

Though, this has happened alot, almost monthly since the 70's, provocation, yes, but, but something new. Sweden is used to it.

What kind of planes do Sweden and Finland have? I seem to recall Finland placing an order for F-35s but that was recent and they probably don't have them yet I'm guessing right?

Sweden has a pretty decent Attack-hunt-surveillance multirole plane, JAS-Gripen (Griffon). It is a fourth generation fighter pretty much, but capable of multiple roles. There are still alot of older JAS-37 Viggen in storage too.

It has short take off and landing capabilities, as Sweden will use highways in times of conflict to land/rearm/take off, since its expected all airfields will be taken out pretty quickly.

Saab JAS 39 Gripen - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

the retired, but in storage, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saab_37_Viggen, was a monster in it's days. Only fighter acknowledged to have gain weapons lock on a SR-71 Blackbird (though, the flightpath of the Blackbird was known, as it passed over Sweden the same path everytime).

Someone pages back Moscow markets probably closed all week. Only got Friday to go now.

When you get in trouble at school and the principle calls home, and after classes you take extra long walking home because you know your bought to get the ass whooping of your life.

The US/Ruble exchange is rebounding. Now it's 100:1, instead of 110+ like earlier in the week (peaked at 117). The usual trend was 75:1 before the war.

Looks like maybe Russia's new banking policies are working to minimize the currency damage.... at least short term it is.

 

[Vestal]

Off course they did..

 

[Gp1]

Those are no match for russian flankers ( not even the f 35)

Europe need to buit better fighters in the future

Bullshit

They’ll just go old school and have the officers point their guns at the kids that don’t want to fight

Off course they did..

I hope China is watching as Russia crumbles to dust because that's what we'll need to do to them if they Invade Taiwan.

[Airbus Jr]

Bullshit

If you think jets like grippen are good enough to fight Su 30 MK, Su 33, Su35 or migs 29/35 youre in for rude awakening man

 

[chromhound]

Off course they did..

China love playing both sides lol. Fuck em too

I doubt that, and I also doubt the world will have the same energy and corporate virtue signaling.

Time will tell, sadly.

Mmmm... what!? F35 weapons and targeting systems are so much more advanced than anything russians have in their inventory, it's not even funny. An F35 would take out most of the russian junk before it even realises there's an F35 haunting it. F35 is pretty much a flying computer meant to fight beyond visual range. Russian SUs are nothing but dogfighters. They are outdated as hell.

 

[belmarduk]

Sadly most Wws started like this .. who knows

It won’t. Purim’s Allies are just two-bit leaders like Lukashenko and Kadyrov.

Now that is a great way for that legendary plane to retire.

Pentagon asked what the US will do if Russia kills Zelenskyy: "Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh"

I am not a religious person but I'm closing my hands. This is getting really real and close to home. Crazy how couple of people can ruin the world and their people do nothing.

More of this please.. Bleed every single one of those MONSTERS dry.

Sorry after seeing more and more attrocities, I am in the IDGAF mood.. Ruin them all and bleed every single dime.

No man f35 stealth and radar are overestimated ( it is still detectable even with pesa/aesa). Once it located and have to face confrontation its a sitting duck...3d trust vectoring..climb rate..high altitude..low altitude fight...range...speed..agility...supermanouvreabilty...will be murdered by flankers...the typhoon f18 super hornets and f15 are still better options...

Ok anyway im not here for that..

Im looking for good news anytime puttin army is getting halted or decimated...

The Ukranian military do not appreciate the artillery barrages onto residential areas it seems.

Seems to be all over Romanian news. Bad weather, 5 dead in the helicopter crash. It's not that close to Ukraine or Snake Island.

Holy shit a Mig-21? Are people still flying B17s and P-51s somewhere?

 

[Romulus]

Still on paper mig 29 ( and its newer variant mig 35) are better on air to air confrontation compared to saab and gripen

Gota admit russians are still better on that ( they only lack funding) thats why i said nato need to built better fighter in the future

I don't believe the Russians are better at anything anymore. Ill take a superior trained Western pilot in an F16 over most any current Russian in a Mig. I don't believe they even understand what maintenance is either.
Id also like to see how many Russian migs have been shot down in one week compared to western fighters in the entirety of both Gulf Wars

I heard Disney Plus removed Anastasia.

Come on, man.

 

[Forsete]

I meant to say "Thanks for the link/info".
Yes, probably just a coincidence. RIP though.

Romania is a very poor country. You use what you have.

Dude Romania is really poor. It's hard to believe tho, we have such aircraft put as a memorials near military base (it's like 10kms from me, so that's how I know it)

It has been put when I was around 5 years old...

You still living in 20th century like russian planes? Man, dogfights are a thing of the past. It's now about, who spots who first. And F35 is light years ahead in this department.

Stealth is not overrated. Good luck getting a quality lock on a target that has radar cross section of a bird.

 

[M1chl]

Russia?

Hopefully just weather.

 

[Hari Seldon]

Yeah I see that now. Perhaps we (the US) needs to bulk up our NATO allies so that they are not flying museum pieces.
