You said buying S-400 is matter of respect. Thats why I wondered. No its some dirty deals. And Erdogan made a huge miscalculation. If he wanted to please his friend Vlad he could buy Yakhont missiles for example. They are both more useful than the S-400 and not nearly as harmful to US-Turkey...

S-400 is not trash, but SAMs in general nowadays are vulnerable and not effective vs cruise missiles which can attack safely under the radar. This 2 billion system can be easily destroyed with several cruise missiles. No its not excuse at all. The F-35 RCS profile is one of the most preserved...

Why instead answering to my message u divert to absolutely irrelevant subject from half century ago?

US knows S-400 pretty well already. Buying weapons from country which kills ur soldiers shows respect and backbone? :rolleyes:

Nice secondary explosions.

Drones have limitations, like small warheads and being slow. Azerbaijani MoD released that Su-25 made 600 sorties in the war. Quite a lot. Thats why i doubled air to air points. Thats not so easy, plus many quite advanced air forces have these F-5. I did downgrade the Egyptian F-16s. Can u...

I dont know what military factories have to do with Christian minorities. As for Palestine its the opposite. They attacked Israeli city on Christmas:

The site which was struck is located 12 kms from S-400 and S-300 positions:

Israel warns Russians but still they can fire. There is also a Syrian S-300PMU2 which is very similar to S-400 in capabilities. Yeah most probably.

More than half of Israel territory (about 13,000 km) is Negev desert: 200 x 120 x 220 km triangle. Its enough to put airbases and training + training can be done over sea also. In terms of military density the world leader is Singapore. It is 1/31 of Israel size, but has very strong air force...

Here another video: These are cruise missiles. When it comes to targets close to S-300 and S-400 IAF does not take risks. I explained more here: https://defencehub.live/threads/how-iaf-avoids-syrian-air-defence.512/

The funniest part is that jet moving at such speeds will be completely blind due to surrounding plasma.

In order to achieve 3.3 Mach SR-71needed terrible concessions and astronomic price. 5500 km/h is 4.5 Mach. Totally unrealistic nonsense.

:sneaky::rolleyes:

You missed J-31. Currently we have: F-22 - active F-35 - active J-20 - limited service Su-57 & J-31 - close to entering the service KFX - first prototype construction.

Well usually countries which buy aircraft also buy adequate ammunition. I did downgrade ranks of Egyptian and Iraqi F-16s for their lack of AMRAAMs however. I used F-16C as base (1 air to air and 1 air to ground points). And estimated power. If u have better ranking method u are welcome to use it.

There is a rank from global fire power, which counts only by quantity: https://www.globalfirepower.com/aircraft-total.asp Which is silly. There are many other ranks which use subjective opinions. I decided to make a rank based both on quality and quantity. Of course it is far from perfect but...

Mea culpa. Added to list.
