Russia gains air superiority over usa on obama's watch!!!

[Cold Fusion38]

We ARE and will continue to be the strogest military in the world no one else comes even CLOSE!

Yeah I like that idea. LOL. The T-50 would be a sitting duck......Splash one, <edited for reality> what you mean you only have ONE!!

um, correction here

LOL! I bet we could break out some F-4s to shoot that the T-50 AKA the "Flying Turd" out of the sky.

well, maybe F5a's

 

[Cold Fusion38]

Well I was going to say if there were enough P-51s still flying we could use those to shoot down the "Flying Turd".

Or just one good infantry squad.

come on now
the mig-21 was better than those

 

[Cold Fusion38]

Hell we could probably knock them out of the sky with WEATHER BALLOONS LOL! I can just see the poor Russian bastard that gets stuck flying the "Flying Turd" trying to figure out their fucked up version of a HUD forgetting to look out the window and smashing in to a weather balloon. Hell even if he sees it in time the Russian version of "fly by wire" (a rusty bicycle cable) wouldn't be responsive enough to avoid it.

 

[Cold Fusion38]

I hope they name it the "Flying Turd".

 

[DiveCon]

I hope they name it the "Flying Turd".

Russia generally doesnt give them names, just numbers
WE have been the ones to assign names for them

was this before or after the lasers that are taking down missiles?

before

just heard about the airborne Laser taking out 2 missiles tonight
but i'm sure it would take out the T-50 too

Let me know when you have a T-50 that ACTUALLY HAS new avionics/engines.

Yeap, we can then send an F 22 out to show them that they still need more work.

We are happy to wait for F-22 to test S-500 - a new generation air defense missile systems, surface-to-air missiles.
S-500 will reportedly be able to outperform both the S-400 as well as the U.S. Patriot Advanced Capability-3 system.

Send behold such, we will teach them quickly.

The Air Force brass wanted $4 billion in the fiscal year 2010 budget to build 20 more F-22s. Gates slashed the request to zero. The Senate Armed Services Committee voted, 13-11, to shift $1.7 billion from other programs in order to fund another seven planes. That's the line item that the full Senate slashed.

An amendment to halt the plane's production was co-sponsored by Sens. Carl Levin, D-Mich., and John McCain, R-Ariz. McCain, who has never been an F-22 fan, went so far as to quote at some length President Dwight Eisenhower's farewell address, which warned of the "military-industrial complex," though McCain noted that the proper phrase should be the "military-industrial-congressional complex."

That's really what the F-22 has come to be about. The Air Force shrewdly spread the plane's contracts to firms in 46 states, thus giving a solid majority of senators&#8212;and a lot of House members, too&#8212;a financial (and, therefore, electoral) stake in the program's survival.

Widening the constituency is a tried-and-true method of keeping dubious weapons systems alive. It dates back to 1960, when the managers of the Army's Nike-Zeus missile-defense program set up subcontractors in 37 states, fearing that the incoming president, John F. Kennedy, would try to kill the system. (Their fear was well-founded; Kennedy and his defense secretary, Robert McNamara, did kill the Nike-Zeus, though the chiefs later pushed through an upgrade.)

The vote was not along party lines: 15 Republicans sided with Obama and Gates to kill the F-22; 15 Democrats (counting Sen. Joe Lieberman, who's an Independent) voted to keep the plane alive.
