From what I hear the F-22 or F35 can drop a slammer down a conventional fighter's or PAK FA throat at 55nm w/ a Pk on the order of almost 70% provided is has an altitude and speed advantage (frontal aspect I'm sure). People are dreaming if they thingk a first generation plane is going to be...

Why spend time on something as obsolete as dog fighing when its the rare exceptions to ariel combat.

The above diagram is the exception rather then the rule, even in World War II more then 80 percent of losses were befor the pliot knew he was under attack or it was too late to react, since then the number has grew to 90 percent and expected to become 95 percent with the advent of stealth...

The kill ratio of the F15 is 105 to 0, if it had cost 5 times a much would it have been worth it. Would a cheaper plane that only had a 50 / 50 kill ratio , how about 75/25 kill ratio been a better deal.

Heres my understanding of US air stratgy for present and future warfare. Missiles Navy has 11000 alone that take out airdefense and communication sites and high priority targets, some of the Missiles with use EMP to take out electronics. The the Drones using antiradiations missiles to...

It is when accompanied with all the new technology such as smart bombs and air stratgy that that go with it.

I expect the STOVL is being made for allies that dont have full size aircraft carriers, I dont see its as being all that much use other wise.

I understand fully what is happening, its the change from space being a goverment enterprise under NASA to private enterprise. If you want to compare technology compare the US putting a man on the moon over 30 years ago, or a one ton operating vehicle on Mars.

Over the last two decades, the world has seen the emergence of two major powers on the international technology markets — China and India. The two nations started from extremely backward technological situations but came a long way after adopting similar measures. The success has been achieved...

I spent a good deal of time in the USSR including visiting their technical and engineering schools, they were about 20 or 30 years behind the USA in most technology. I doubt if they have improved all that much considering the degeneration of the soviert union.

Inside the F-35, the futuristic fighter jet - Telegraph Inside the F-35, the World's Most Futuristic Fighter Jet An aviation fantasy from the realms of Star Wars, the F-35 is the most sophisticated, expensive and controversial jet fighter ever produced. Jonathan Glancey takes its flight...

While a stealth plane may be detected at longer and longer ranges in the future the so will the range of missiles and air to ground weapons, the most stealthy plane will allways have the advantage.

I am just not sure how well parts from differant countries can be designed to work well in something complicated as a 5th generation aircraft. Franknstien did not work out very well.

More controversially, some sources (including Francis Tusa's industry newsletter, Defence Analysis) maintain that the aircraft compares unfavourably with Eurofighter's Typhoon in the air to air role, though this is vigorously denied in other quarters. Though it uses a modern and extremely...

Evidently the B1R was not needed and the new missiles can be carried on the B1 and B2 smart bomb rack by the hundreds.

If the Cuda does have a lethality enhanced warhead ala PAC 3, the effect will be akin to setting off a Mach 3-5 shotgun blast at point-blank range at the target. Works for me. Design News - Features - MISSILES: Last Line of Defense PAC-3 will employ a lethality enhancer to improve its...

B1-R - YouTube B1-R bomber - missile platform and bomber - video the B1-R is a proposed upgrade for the current B1-B fleet. It would be equipped with advanced radars & four F-22 engines, thus being able to achieve a estimated top speed of mach 2.2 at a 20 percent reduction of the B1-B's...
