cannot say I am happy about any of this escalation on escalation but the planes are indeed beautiful
Yes, I hope that these aircraft will act as a deterrent, so that we don't end up with a full-scale conflict between Iran and the USA.cannot say I am happy about any of this escalation on escalation but the planes are indeed beautiful
I would have to agree. You don't set a jet on fire with some clots of drenched gas.And nothing happened, fire ended on its own - there was nothing to burn there.
Yeah, a 2000 km long raid. What kind of idiots are writing these headlines?
How these bombs are guided ?
It's almost 240km from the nearest part of the frontline and the local air defence was noted as going active around the same time, so it could well be another friendly fire incident, if that's even possible, either that or a very long range UAF SAM shot, or one hell of a malfunction.so this is another one?
Minus one. An SU-35 military plane crashed in the temporarily occupied Crimea. The pilot ejected. The information was confirmed by the local governor. However, he did not tell about the reasons for the fall. At the same time, local publics assume that the aircraft carrier became another victim of Russian air defense.
The Russian Aerospace Forces, or VKS, continues to burn through the life span of its fighter aircraft in the war against Ukraine. After two years of air war, its total force is slightly less than 75% of its prewar strength.
The VKS has directly lost approximately 16 fighters over the past eight months. However, this does not account for the imputed losses, which arise from an aircraft accruing more flight hours than planned, reducing its overall life. Based on updated information, the VKS is on track to suffer approximately 60 imputed aircraft losses this year from overuse. That is equivalent to losing 26 new airframes. Meanwhile the VKS currently procures only about 20 total Su-30, Su-34 and Su-35 aircraft per year.

Depends on how the missiles are set up to guide for long range shots.Any idea how are these guys getting shot down without getting a missile warning? Do they only get a warning in the last stage of the middle flight?
The mural is quite hilarious. Its got the wrong aircraft and they are bombing the empty inner courtyard of the Pentagon.This is now the third time this has happened:

Soviets thought that the Pentagon shape was from walls, not office blocks.The mural is quite hilarious. Its got the wrong aircraft and they are bombing the empty inner courtyard of the Pentagon.
Su-30SM2 with R-37M LRAAM
Probably not, India is turning away from Russia.Any ideas as to whether India would want to purchase the R-37M for their Su-30s or even update them to be able to carry it?
Probably not, India is turning away from Russia.
I wonder if India could install the R-37 onto the AMCA if they want to purchase the missile or even failing that design their own long range missile with equivelent range.
