@chymira182 Despite what you might have learned, they are actually the same sound (native Russian speaker here, with over 30 years of living in the US). The name of the letter is pronounced with a different sound, but in actual words, it is the same. Please don’t try teaching me about “the Russian ear.” I was born and raised in St Petersburg and I’m a certified Russian-English interpreter. Oh and the Russian Х has NEVER been a voiceless velar fricative, EVER. You trying to get accurate information from Wiki is your problem.

⁠ @ShiftyMoravian WTF are you talking about? The “h” sound is exactly the same in Russian, and it uses the Х letter. Written in Russian it is “Отель” with no “h”.

It’s not like they were stock Hilux trucks. They ran on jet fuel and had to be on 24/7.

The Koreans are demonstrating a complete lack of understanding aircraft design here. Also, Poland signed a deal for 48 FA-50’s and 32 F-35As, not the KF-21.

@SapFeaRon Ukraine first gained its independence in 1918. A short history lookup helps to not sound like a total idiot.

Actually, this is an incredibly dumb move. Without the stealth component, any F-22/F-35 design is just pointless. It’s a huge expense and complexity with no real advantage over a late block F-16, F-18 or F-15. The latest blocks come with the same electronic capabilities and avionics that the F-35 has (even more modern than the Raptor) and a fraction of the price. It’s a truly stupid move and reeks of S. Korean government corruption.

@CrossWindsPat The first two features are available on the latest block F-16 and can be had on the F-18 or F-15, so what’s the point? The only difference becomes stealth, which apparently they’re not into.
