  8. It just involved banging a jet against it.

  9. Russia collided a 30 million USD jet. The US fired a 400,000 USD missile.

  10. ​ @ОлекЛис  jet engines do not consume all oxygen. That's why afterburners work, there's still oxygen in the exhaust.

  11.  @yam2050  "but there's a reason why majority of the world buys Russian military hardwares.. because they are cheap and rugged." - Not really. Poorer countries and countries with bad relationship with the West buy Russian because of cheapness, and because nobody would sell them better technology. Most of that "rugged" hardware fails constantly or is left in disrepair because of the maintenance nightmares.
