  1. In 1985, F-104s could hit BVR, and F-16 couldn't. It's like a fight between a sniper (F-104) and someone standing in the centre of a football field.

  2. Seals had not been exactly stellar at Grenada two years before, and there, standing in the open, they were as good as cardboard targets. BTW, it was all filmed https://www.blogsicilia.it/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/image.jpeg

  3. Infact the "no backbone" Italians got what they wanted. The US tough guys put their tails conveniently between their legs and came back home with nothing.

  4. I higly doubt you know something about Italian, or any other for that matter, legal system. The legal outcome had been that the four hijakers had been sentenced to various terms. The autors of the bombing of Bologna railway station in 1980 had been released once the sentence had been served, that was in 2009 for Fioravanti and Mambro. It was not that difficult to know why,

  5. I don't think any of the guys in the standoff gave a shit about how many American bases there were In Italy at that moment.

  6. F-104s' Sparrow (Aspide) worked, F-14's Phoenix... meh...

  7. They would have been, had they allowed the US to use one of their base without permission. Since they didn't, they obtained the hijackers like they wanted.

  9. Allies can use US military bases to do what they wants without permission? No? So fuck off.

  11. The borderline pussies got the hijackers and trialed them under their law. The tough guys came back home with nothing.

  13. You allies can use your military bases without permission? How strange.

  14. "authorised" by who? Is not like the US controls flight plans and authorizations worldwide. The aircraft was a civilian Egyptian aircraft, and that was enough.

  15.  @patrickeh696  So you don't know what to say (to refer to a superior knowledge without explaining is typical of who's ignorant of the matter).

  16. The hijackers had been trialed, sentenced and served their terms under italian laws (one tried to escape, but was catched again). Khaled Hussein, the commander of the group, died in prison at Benevento on 21 jun 2009.

  17.  @loki2240  Easy to speak later, but there are the pictures. Not even the imperial stormtroopers could have missed those US Very Special Forces. https://www.blogsicilia.it/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/image.jpeg

  18. They didn't need to be in close quarters. In 1985 the F-104s could hit BVR, and the F-16 couldn't

  19. Not like the US, that armed Iran while making a tough face in public.
