In review, iran parliment got more postgraduate qualified politicians in the world while US u guess it not the 1st

That why us policy makers are stupid even worse than ours. No problem in ukraine let them solve themselves, go poke the hornet nest and make it worse

Same go to iraq n afghan. Under saddam regime, at least there no terrorism. Go give their dos of freedom, in end ownself lose more and now the whole middle east in chaos

It like they nvr learn from vietnam

Mana f22 raptor?

No export variant Ke?
F35 I thought is shit?

Congress also say not for sale.. even close ally canot get their hand on it. U think we have any chance?

Btw f22 is also rubbish just less rubbish than f35

US politicians get into the game for the money, not state interest. US say every other government has corruption, but US made corruption legal by the lobby system. Companies and factions can legally give 'donations' to politicians to further their corporate agenda in the government.

For example say a defense company want to secure guaranteed profits, they can 'donate' to a, say a US Senator, to push the US government for US military supply to conflict regions, in which if successful US will buy weapons and ammo made by that very defense company to supply to conflicts in the name of freedom and democracy & voila, profits for defense manufacturers!

By this system other companies, like oil, tobacco and mining industries also have some very powerful politicians practically in their pocket to do or say whatever they want.

What, new study shows tobacco causes cancer? Solution: tobacco manufacturers pay powerful politicians to say otherwise. Because politicians are always right.

Pro-Russian separatists capture a relatively intact Ukrainian T-64BM after it hit an anti-tank mine after attempting to escape the Debaltsevo pocket

Easy repair, hull is not breached and running gear seems OK, just replace tracks and repair side skirts. In the next 1-2 days the tank should be running again. If the government troops abandoned this tank so easily, wonder they didn't consider throwing a grenade down the hatch before escaping on foot? Well, another tank into the separatist arsenal, I guess.

i have to disagree about f22, i think f22 are the best air superiority fighter jet right now but it lack multirole capability, tbf it role was as an air superiority fighter jet.

most of the training duel are WVR engagements i believe with stealth capability f22 have the upper hand in BVR engagements it so hard to detect, so to fight fighter jet like f22 was to fight within WVR and with thrust vector capability fighter jet like f22 and su30mkm have the upper hand

p.s just my opinion though purely based on my understanding about fighter jet

Looks like BAE system offers more hawk for their typhoon mrca deal, though I dunno if free or discounted hawks

Boeing with extremly affordable and BAE with their fresh tech and hawk



Saab and Dassault giveup already ke , senyap je

mkm have thrust vectoring have 2 axis, f22 have only a single axis

BVR is highly disputed.. the confirm kill is less than 10% once beyond a certain range because of the inability of the aircraft to do accurate targeting without the help of AWECS or ground control system. That why when it come to dog fight it still fall back to good old 30mm cannon

F22 sole advantage is that it harder to detect but once detected, it a essential have to fall back to it same close weapon system. Plus, the last training with f22 and our mkm shows that it still very vurennable in actual dogfight

plus, the exhibit price tag of a f22 just not attractive for any foreign buyers. That is why Russian is marketing their su-50 as an affordable 5th gen fighter for any interested party.

saab lease deal still stands and could include our long awaited awecs deal

If F-22 had completed its IRST module, I believe it will be an even mightier plane for air superiority mission. Too bad got cancelled.

Tengok macam Russian, radar tak detect, visually boleh detect, still can track and guide missiles.

I think you got it backward.

Dont think so. The last i check f22 can only do up and down

Su 30 can both up n down and a liitke side

Both planes have one axis thrust vectoring, just that mkm/mki axis pivot is little sideways so it's classify as 2.5D TVC, while the f22 is 2D TVC



while it is more than 2D but is less than 3D, so its 2.5D

CIA bought Iraq chemical weapons
Led the United States to acquire and destroy at least 400 Borak rockets

A New York Times investigation published in October found that the military had recovered thousands of old chemical warheads and shells in Iraq and that Americans and Iraqis had been wounded by them, but the government kept much of this information secret, from the public and troops alike.
