Starting with the PAK-FA cuz it looks better than the F-35 tbqh(To Be Quite Honest)
It may not be stealthy, but this is the most good looking fighter IMO

and this looks better than slav shit tbqu (to be quite honest)
>>56854890
Sukhoi always make good looking planes desu. Their design is so comfy but at the same time threatening.
>>56854628
>>56854929
I like it too, but Lockheed tries too hard to make their jets "futuristic".
![B2w2F22s[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/ifSy5En.jpg "B2w2F22s[1].jpg")
>>56854990
Pretty sure they are just trying hard to make their jets "stealth".
Form follows function.
I like American planes :)

good lad
>the US air force
>capable more than bombing sandniggers
>>56855160
The best use of an airforce desu
>>56855086
Well, beign Stealth doesn't work very well nowadays unless you're trying to bomb sand people.
>>56855213
Not true at all. If it were true then no one would be investing billions of dollars investing in stealth airplanes... yet literally 1st world military is.
>>56855252
literally every* first world military*
>>56855213
That statement is proven wrong by the laws of physics. Congratulations.
>>56855252
Yeah true, but everybody been in development for years, and everytime they fix something, something else breaks and there it goes another 5mi just to find out what it is. Or course for cunts like US, Russia and China that would be necessary, but everyone prefer to buy "normal" fighter jets and wait a few years when the program is already 100% complete.
>>56855160
Nigger, the Russian air force failed to establish air superiority over Georgia.
Now with an operational hard kill active protection system.
>>56855322
Thats not whats going on. The F-35 production is expensive mainly because of the systems they are putting in it.
Stealth is the future, and not just for aircraft- look at all the new ships being built with stealth features.
The F-35 is trying to fit in a ton of new systems onto a new aircraft- its stealth features have little to nothing to do with it.
>>56855331
>whataboutsm
Try harder, Bobby, we're discussing the US air force, not russian.
>>56855371
Can't wait for the M1-A3 to start rolling out with the world's first 360 degree active kill coverage :)
>>56855425
The US Navy has a stronger air force than the Russian Air Force does.
>>56855405
Didn't they found another problem with it? (F-35). Remember seeing a thread on /k/ but i didnt read about it, F-35 discussions there are pure cancer.
>>56855252
It might be simple corruption. Spending billions on pretty much nothins is always good for someone's pockets and you guys have legalized lobbism.
>>56855481
That doesn't explain shit.
>>56855460
And still the limit of its capabilities is bombings of sandniggers.
>>56855438
Which one is it gonna be? Raytheon's Quick Kill?
I thought the competition and evaluation was still ongoing.
>>56855566
Sand niggers armed with Russian planes and Russian air defense systems.
>>56855566
Been proven false on numerous occasions, but try again turnipnigger.
>>56855519
It always does. It always does. Corruption is the second name of government.
>>56855566
Bombing sandniggers is an art.
>>56855599
You mean 60's versions of it. It's like fighting WWI tanks.
Are MBT's obsolete nowadays?
Will APC's/IFV's replace them?
>>56855599
You arent able to defeat even IS, which doesnt have any planes and air defense systems. Basically meme tier air force.
>>56855653
So you think 1977-1982 is the 1960s?
>>56855653
70s-80s actually
>>56855471
They find problems with every new system. Do you think there has ever been an aircraft enter production without issues found in testing? The F-35 is just drawing more attention because its an international program so it has to be open to the media- and this is the first american aircraft developed with complete coverage by the internet- so everyone with a blog or website can criticize it. There aren't any more or less problems with this aircraft than with older aircraft- but they are doing more extensive testing than in the past- and anyone can write about it. The F-16 had problems. The F-15 had problems. The F-14 had a ton of problems. Aircraft crashed after entering service and fixes were applied over decades to make them what they were. The F-35 is undergoing the most extensive testing any of our aircraft have ever gone though- well over 100 have been built- none have crashed. the "problems" are software related and getting worked on. Thats why they test them, and its built to take software upgrades and fixes after they are built.
Actually, since the internet became everyone main source of news- every new american procurement project is bombarded by idiots who think they know more than the engineers. The DDG-1000 (pic related) was claimed by an "expert" to never be able to go to sea because of its shape- it would take on water the first time it saw the open ocean and sink because it was top heavy.
The V-22 was crucified by the media because of a couple crashes in the 90s, its now the safest rotorcraft in the us military. The F-35 is no different.
>>56855686
You haven't done a god damn thing against ISIS faggot.
>>56855715
The main goal was to save the regime from falling, not to defeat IS, which is secondary threat to the regime, Bobby.
>>56855046
Looks like it would be lovely to stroke and caress.
The best WW2 CAS.
>>56855713
Makes sense, but don't you think that this F-35 project is expensive as fuck, like even more than it should be? Fuck you could reform the entire Russian Air Force with that cash.
Anyway about the media, i also agree, even more with the stupid "specialists" who think about they know everything just because they played too much Battlefield. Luckily here it's quite the opposite, people don't know shit about their projects or anything, people were surprised as fuck about the fact the we sell weaponry to the Arabs since the 80's.
>>56855845
>>56855888
The F-35A costs less than a Eurofighter, Rafale, or Gripen NG.
>>56855966
I meant the project itself, not the units. For how long the project been going?
I know in the late 90's they were already thinking about it.
>>56855966
Eurofighter true, Rafale depends, Gripen is BS.
>>56855966
And its much more capable than any of those.
>BOPE insignia
Why?
>>56856002
Gripen NG, not Gripen. Learn the difference.
>>56855989
The Eurofighter started in the like 1983 and didn't fly until 1994 and didn't enter service until 2003. The F-35 is not unique in having a long development schedule.
>>56856232
Yeah i know it takes a long time.
Also Gripen NG went pretty cheap for us ;D
>>56856292
You paid over $100 million per aircraft even when you subtract maintenance and training from the package cost.
>>56856359
5.4bi USD for initial 36 planes
>>56856458
>4,5bi
Fug, fix, 5.4 more were the additional ones(28)
>>56856491
>>56856458
Which just confirms what I said. You wanted US aircraft originally, but the govt wouldn't license them to you, which is how you ended up with Gripens.
>>56856638
Yep, actually we also wanted to buy the tech(which US never does) and because of all that spying shit, which pretty much made the guys from the Armed Forces a bit mad.
So they went for Gripens, which Embraer is also participating in the development. They've been sending some engineers to sweden since last year i think.
>>56854929
Fuck no it doesn't, keep deluding yourself faggot!
>>56855371

Are you that tripfag?
>>56856037
PAK-FA>Rafale >>>>>>>>>>>>F-35
>>56857319
You've just proved to everyone that you have zero understanding of Middle Eastern history and geopolitics.
>>56857349
That's why India said it was extremely unhappy with the results of the PAK-FA program and cut a significant amount of partnership funding to it.
>>56856730
It's too bad you didn't get Gripen C/Ds earlier. The cost benefit would have been a lot better.
>>56857489
But we are, only 2 units for training.
This deal we made with the Sweden is a lot more than just a few Gripens, maybe even KC-390's be in the middle of it.
>>56857458
The project is not complete right now, but I am pretty sure the end result by 2020 would be much better than the F-35, unless the u.s throws some more wizardry into the package
>>56857537
That has nothing to do with how much you paid for the Gripen program. The biggest selling point (by far) of the Gripen family used to be the lower cost per unit, an advantage it threw away with the creation of the Gripen NG.
>>56857433
>Americans
>questioning people's understanding
Stick to sucking Trump's dick, hillbilly
>>56857562
They don't even have the same primary roles you dumb nigger.
>>56855655
>Are MBT's obsolete nowadays?
No. MBTs will never be obsolete.
>Will APC's/IFV's replace them?
Of course not.
>>56857592
You literally proved it by making an instantly and verifiably false claim.
>>56854628
>>56855655
They're obsolete if you lack air superiority against a foe that has it.
>>56857575
Yep, the main point were the Gripens, But i meant in a way that we're getting closer with Swedes. in terms of foreign relations, one wanting to make the other happy.
Anyway, you're right, SAAB really took a risk there by sacrificing their cost benefit.
>>56857674
And to sell only a few dozens planes. That reeks of desperation on their part.
>>56857575
Embraer just wants to manufacture it for pride purposes because everyone laughs at Embraer for being incapable of making a 4th-gen fighter and all they can make are the Super Tucano.
Sweden are the only cuck country that would allow that.
>>56857623
which is not a false premise in the first place and also accentuates your insecurity, you fucking gun slinging cousin-fucking immature white trash
>>56857703
India has one of the highest incest rates in the world.
>>56857701
That's dumb. The Super Tucano is good as are the commercial E Jets and those are actually home-grown designs. Embraer is just being an insecure little bitch.
>>56857610
But with Drones, cruise missiles 'n shiet.
I think that the army went to the Guaranis instead of new Tanks because of that.
>>56857661
Yup, that's what i mean, are APC's becoming more developed than MBT's.
>>56857703
> India
> lecturing about people fucking cousins
>>56857781
> are APC's becoming more developed than MBT's.
No. And it doesn't matter because they are equally worthless against a foe with air superiority. The MBT vs APC conversation is only relevant when you have air superiority.
nya
>>56857694
The sale for the Swiss failed, they had to make a sell otherwise they'd finish like our old Engesa.

>>56857854
Air force.
>>56857781
If you have to use a cruise missile against a tank, then you've already lost the war or you're a retarded American general throwing tax payers money down the drain.
If the enemy has air superioty, then half of your military is useless, including the APCs, which will be destroyed by any 30mm gun from any basic helicopter.

>>56857927
Or just MLRS with guided missiles.
>>56857766
E2 too :3
>>56858033
Yeah, but they have better competition now from Bombardier with the CS series and from Mitsubishi with the MRJ series. A hell of a lot better than Chinese and Russian attempts to break the 737/A320 dupoly.
>>56858064
Oh yeah, there's a video of them in the Singapore Air Show explaining how they are expanding into the Asian and ASEAN markets.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43GYsRq78qA
)))
>>56858064
Chinese jets are excellent actually.
>>56858133
Seems to be even more complicated than the T-90 desu.
>>56858133
No crew in the turret.
We will see - everybody will copy that principle as they copied T 34 inclined armor.
>>56858153
No, they objectively aren't. The Chinese just entered into the ARJ21, which is meant to compete with a design that was first put into service in 1965 in the form of the DC-9. On top of that, they have inferior engines that are less efficient and less reliable than their current generation Western counterparts, and that's not even counting the new Western engines coming out right now. Their 737/A320 competitor, the Comac C919 is also less advanced and efficient by design (it hasn't even flown yet) than the current generation of 737 and A320, which entered service in 1996 and 1988 respectively.
They are, by definition, bad compared to the competition.
I like this.
Fastest military helicopter. Titanium cockpit. Machine guns, rockets and eight mad ivans with rifles onboard.

Did you guys selled T-34's to the norks?
>>56858337
Forgot pic.
>>56858258
ARJ21 is using the same exact engines Embraer uses. And anything China produces is a guaranteed success because their domestic market buys it en mass.
>>56858337
>>56858370
> fastest military helicopter
I don't think I believe that.
>>56858388
That's not what makes it a success. They won't be allowed to fly them anywhere in the developed world and they have no international maintenance agreements or infrastructure. And the economics of operating them will be vastly inferior to the offering from Embraer, Bombardier, and Mitsubishi.
>>56858339
dunno
but this thing is still a tank
can make pain to somebody
>>56858388
They also haven't had an order in over a year.
>>56858401
Yes.
It fastest.
200-220 mph is piece of cake for it.
>>56858433
That's neat at an airshow but it absolute suicide in combat.

Like it's own Citizens and the Pokpung-ho is literally a T-72 with the body changed a bit.
Though you Russians and Chinese were helping them "developing" their stuff.
>>56858457
Other helicopters can do high speed cruises in that range. And that's not even counting tiltrotors or pushers.
>>56858401
They look slow but they're actually pretty fast, don't know about fastest though.
>>56858529
They're all slow as fuck compared to the next gen designs the military is testing.

>>56859741
It will burn as good as T-72 and Abrams burns.
>>56859805
Thought you were talking about the PAK-FA but ok.
Yeah, soon we'll might see them against T90MS and T-14. :D
>>56859771
Expensive =/= good. It's extremely overpriced to enrich lobbists. We'll see how it shows itself in combat. T-90 already did.
>>56858433
It's still odd how they can't keep them from violating foreign airspace. Don't they have positioning systems? Or do they fly them drunk?
>>56859839
T-14 remind me Rhino tank.
>>56859945
Like i said earlier, he T-14 seems to be harder to handle it, not just that but because it's bigger than the T-90, must be hard as fuck to put it into narrow streets to hide with bullets and RPG's flying towards it.

Hind helicopter was fastest when released.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mil_Mi-24#Flight_characteristics
A modified Mi-24B, named A-10, was used in several speed and time-to-climb world record attempts. The helicopter had been modified to reduce weight as much as possible - one measure was the removal of the stub wings.[4] The official speed record set on 13 August 1975 over a closed 1000 km course of 332.65 km/h (206.7 mph) still stands, as do many of the female-specific records set by the all-female crew of Galina Rastorguyeva and Lyudmila Polyanskaya.[9] On 21 September 1978, the A-10 set the absolute speed record for helicopters with 368.4 km/h (228.9 mph) over a 15/25 km course. The record stood until 1986, when it was broken by the current official record holder, a modified Westland Lynx.[10]

If your country doesn't have armed UAVs in service, then you're pretty much a non-country.
An F-35 was meant to fly over too, but it broke down in the USA and couldn't make it over. You just can't make this shit up. ;_;

1 Tank (let's say a renault because technology isn't taken into account) wins 10 000 soldiers (barenaked because small arms aren't taken into account either) because it has more power points.

Actually they also shot the sandniggers on the ground as well. They lost 6 Russian nationals over the intervention.

I was in a thread the other day where a butthurt (and I mean really butthurt) Kremlinbot was trying to claim how modern and high tech his missiles are and that Minuteman is ancient shit from the Vietnam War era. But I said "Honey, you haven't developed anything new since the 80s."
Also he used proxies to samefag and upboat his own posts. I'll have to dig the thread out of the archive.

I love how we still use Australia to test our secret military shit. Reminds me of days of Empire.
>>56869803
No but when you literally copy the uniforms of your former colonial overlord...
>>56869724
Almost all of China's missiles were built after 1990....
>>56869655
Russia's missiles are from the 80's. So you're wrong.
Israeli intelligence and special ops are said to be second-to-none in the entire world.
>>56869963
That's because they control the media.
>>56869930
>Russia's missiles are from the 80's. So you're wrong.
So 30 year old upgrades of a 50 year old design.
>>56869901
But our cultures have intermingled. There's Indian influence in our language, food and drink nowadays. Not to mention the huge diaspora. It works both ways, the India has experienced British influence. And why shouldn't they be proud of the parts of that influence they like? Why shouldn't a country want to honour its colonial heritage?
>>56869963
Depends for what.
For making people disappear, they're almost as good as the Russians, but also sloppy. They also cannot match our SIGINT.
For CT and MOUT, they are among the best.

delet this goy :^^^^)))

We put most of our investment in submarine missiles than land-based ones desu.
>>56870111
good trips
>>56869854
i love your panzers. they look so great. can they even be penetrated by the old syrian t72 models or even the latest egyptian old american tanks?

Here it is. Note how he would post something and then switch on a Bulgarian proxy to agree with his post.
>>56870048
Nice source.
You're describing America.
>>56870269
They got trophy system, which makes them basically immune to any projectiles (AT's or Shells).
>>56870095
>They also cannot match our SIGINT
Well no, we have satellites to assist in that.
>>56869418
>Pakistan and China in one pack with us
Does it mean they'll start to nuke you guys if we start?
>>56870390
>R-36 began testing in 1963
>the last new variant of it was introduced in 1986
>various newer Russian ballistic missiles such as Topol are just upgrades of 70s hardware
tfw your country used to have aircraft carriers
>>56870589
Why aren't you guys buying an F-35Bs for your new LHDs?
>>56870622
Capacity problems. You'd be hard-pressed to fit more than 10 F-35Bs on the Canberra Class. And if you do that, it won't have the space to fulfil its primary purpose of being an amphibious assault ship - carrying troops and vehicles to the enemy coast
Even the UK's old, small Invincible Class carriers were better designed for carrying fighters
>>56870501
So you're wrong
Also, the other anon was wrong about China.

INS Viraat formerly HMS Hermes(the grand old lady that rekt the argies in falkland)'s finally done.
its fighter harrier squadron went into hibernation with pilots being trained for flying MiG 29K in the meantime they'll be reinstated when INS Vikrant(R44) the carrier we are currently building gets commissioned in 2018.
