    Portal is free to download on Steam until the 24th. Great game if any of you don't already have it.

    Severely disappointed with that, I was expecting it to be all based on nam, but the whole future element to it is a load of boll*x tbh.

    Whats the bets it'll perform terribly compared to eurofighter and the american offerings, yet it'll still have a core of "love russia" fans that say "what would you know, with yore smelly F22 Raptors, you can bury this russian yoke in sand and it'll still fly, even a 5 year old can fly this".

    :D

    IW and Treyarch take it in turns so they can chuck a game out every year in 2 year development cyles.

    MiG-31_Firefox.jpg

    This is a nicer aircraft and it's not even real, for those of you who aren't old enough to remember the last recession it's the fictional MiG-31 from Firefox way back in 1982

    Edit: Just looked at it again, is it just me or is there a touch of Stargate about it??

    I'd read that article before. The Author has been a bit of a thorn in the side for the Aussie Air Force and seems to be driving an agenda.

    Aussies made the right call purchasing the F18 Super Hornet in the short term.

    In fairness there's probably some website saying the exact opposite somewhere and a country having one superior piece of equipment over another isn't really a gamebreaker..they could have poor quality pilots in them..theoretical studies are useless when it comes to the crunch.

    In arguments like this I love being able to fall back on Irish neutrality! After our comrades in the East and West have had their little air spat and they've successfully wiped each other out, we will simply repopulate the remains and remake them in our own image, with airsoft sites that have +1j limit for snipers and multicam for everyone!

    Yes, he absolutely is, and he does. He might still be right though, I can't find any significant flaws in his analysis.

    As for the SuperBug, maybe. I still think the Aussies would have been better off sticking with the F111s for another few years for long-range strike and buying Gripens for homeland defence. And, much as I love their camo, their defence purchasing system is one of the worst I've ever seen.

    Anyways I just wanted to show y'all a video of the purty plane not get into a debate on PAK-FA vs anything.

    Its a moot point anyway PAK-FA wins because it can apparently supercruise whilst hovering ;)

    I dont dislike AK's per say,

    I only dislike most of them, :D

    That said, I'm looking into building a blowback 47 and I might even buy some of that russian snickers wear you lot have.

    :D

    On that plane, the analyst did start with "The F-22 Raptor is the only US fighter design with the stealth, speed and agility to defeat the new Russian PAK-FA design"

    The problem is that if you are a country with the moolah to buy nice fancy 21st century jets, the American's won't sell you an F22 for love nor money or the oil in Saudi Arabia, or humus in Israel. I doubt they would even sell it to the brits. As it is they are bitching about some of the technology in the F-35 going overseas.

    That would make the Russian jet a contendor for anyone, especially as the unit price is likey to be much better than the F22's silly $200m+ per plane.

    as has previously been said both are breath taking pieces of kit, leave the rest to arm chair generals and military channel documentarys

    I have to say I love the lines of the Su-30. The Indians have got the best Flankers on the go with their Su-30MKI's, the moves they can do, while of next to no use in combat make it very impressive in airshows.

    Only now can the US do similar moves with the F-22. Excluding the joint tests with Germany on the Rockwell old retired X-31s.

    The PAK FA is nowhere near ready and if it ever does make it into service will not be for another 6-10 years at least. It's final spec production engines are nowhere near ready never mind the testing before they can be fitted. Then there is the avionics package, while if they want to beat the F-35 will take alot of programming and testing. The early F-35 test software at the current block 0.5 spec has over a billion lines of code.

    Japan has asked the US twice for the F-22 or even an export spec of the F-22 to replace their aging F-15 like the USAF. It is expensive but Japan have the cash for about 100. The US congress has said the F-22 is too sensitive to export but the F-35, no problem.

    The UK would not want to be seen to want the F-22 after all the money and time they spent on the Typhoon with Germany, Italy and Spain. The Typhoon is supposed to be the UK's and the other EU nations superfighter.
    Problem is it took to long to develop and is now a 4.5 gen fighter in a 5 gen market. The Typhoon, Rafale are like the US Superhornets and F-16E/F Supervipers that the UAE got developed for them by the US.

    The US don't really care who gets the F-35 because the export condition is that only the US has access to all the computer source codes, which countries like the UK and Israel do not like at all and want full access to the codes so they can perform any modifications to the aircraft without having to send them to the US or a US controlled site in the EU, most likely Italy to perform upgrades to weapons, defensive or detection systems.

    Unlike with current F-16 export modifications the US will know the capability of each customer's F-35 fleet. Pretty sly but that's so they can keep tabs incase of any tech leaks to other nations like what Israel did by selling US radar tech secrets to China.
