  1. the military is photographing them before shooting them down.

  2. if F-16 gets the first Su-57 kill, F-22 is gonna be MAD!

  3. The AIM9 is the first ever operational air to air missile, fitted to F-86 Sabers. In Vietnam, the USAF F-4s scored; 32 kills with the AIM9 5 kills with the AIM4 50 kills with the AIM7 5 maneuver kills 15 kills with 20mm not sure what the Navy got. the F-4 was built as a fleet defense interceptor, and it was not standard to equip interceptors with guns at the time. But everything else had guns still, from the F-8, A-4, F-105, to the F-100, etc. When the F-4 was designed, the Navy already had the F-8 and A-4, so it didn't want a multirole fighter that wasn't as good at either role as the dedicated aircraft, so they switched it to being an interceptor.

  4.  @Aditi27  wrong. Women fighter pilots have been a thing since WW2. your ignorance doesn't make a stereotype.

  5. Having a heavier missile on the tip can reduce the stresses on the wing compared to having a lighter missile or no missile for the same aircraft weight.

  6. F-35 was never meant to replace the F-15. F-22 --> F-15 F-35 --> F-16, F-18, AV-8B

  7. F-35: 12 AMRAAM F-15EX: 20+ AMRAAM one F-15EX = two F-35 and the F-15EX is faster, more maneuverable, more reliable, and cheaper than the F-35.

  8.  @AirRider44  "but is more maneuverable in most flight regimes, especially without external stores." No it is not. the F-15C was already tough to beat, and the F-15EX is as capable now as the F-22. F-15EX wont be fighting F-35. You're clueless. "the F-35 carries up to 16" First you say 12, now you say 16. make up your mind. show me an F-35 that ever demonstrated 12 missiles. the F-15 has demonstrated 20+ in a real test flight. And with a full load of external missiles, the advantages of the F-35 are lost, and it loses its reason for existing.

  9. my understanding is the Russian commander didn't actually know where all his forces were.

  10. F-15EX is going to be operated single-pilot, no RIO

  11.  @NoName-gf6xo  it's well documented. it's replacing the F-15C, but built from the F-15E assembly line. It also has sensor mounts the US version isn't using, but they are still there anyways.

  12. what is the stereotype in aviation that was broken?

  13. Thank you! I always get frustrated when I watch rate fighters not hold altitude on an opponent. Everyone is always so quick to cash in their altitude. Let them dump their nose while you stay high in a turn, and come in on them later.
