It's good that someone finally realized the potent of the Typhoon - btw France isn't going to be a real problem, since they haven't been that active in the research from the very begining.

Have in mind though that it's mainly an interceptor, not a strike craft.

heh? France left the project years ago ( because what was originally planed had been toned down because of budget decrease from spain iirc ) and made the Rafale, which is better anyway

[Liberator]

Bah!

I'll take a fully armed GP-03 Stamen/Orchis and a Solar System and whack almost anybody,  till the I-Field fails anyway.  Then when my escape pod lands I hotfoot it to my Tallgeese III that I his before the battle started.

I'd like to see the Rafale dodge a volley ten Meteors, though that would leave me with only a couple of ASRAAMs and me cannon for getting dirty...

I had been aiming to join the RAF in the hopes of one day flying the Typhoon, but then I saw the light and decided that naval aviation is the choice of the professional - so bring on the X-35!

I don't wanna argue with you for such a stupid thing, just read that

http://pub14.ezboard.com/fwarandpoliticsfrm30.showMessage?topicID=83.topic ( I like tha fact that all the things the typhoon is supposed to do better will be achieved when they will put new engines, radars, etc. the rafale is already in series prproduction there's dozens of them flying )

to sum up: one more hard point, 3 (!) more tons of missiles/bombs whatever. can fly 500 more km.

no need to brag about the typhoon payload as it is, well...

just be sure to call their offices in iraq before doing something

Phone: (9641) 7196939  
Fax: (9641) 7173519


edit: its a funny story on how i found that place


and su27 owns the mig29 so don't bother

Nuff said.

I had like 5 of those at one time.

And as far as personal weaponry goes:



The be-all and end-all of any apocalyptic arsenal of doom.

They have some pretty good photos of weapons systems up close. I think I shall be doing some high poly weapons ani models in the near future.

[tEAbAG]

Gimmie a Su-47



You really have to see video of the damned thing flying backwards and doing a controlled tumble from the sky.  Freakin ruskies ain't done yet!

[phreak]

thats not for sale...

*adds to list*

[Razor]

Yes, but MIG 29 owns the F 16 big time. Larger payload, long range missiles two engines (not just one like on the F 16), greater speed (d'oh)
Anyways, here is my pet. Now all I need to do is to load it with them special bombs and drop'em over your little robots.

Yeah, but he could watch it really fast.

I want that new flanker, used for Maritime patrol, that has a twin cockpit, and even a galley!

[Petrarch of the VBB]

Pff, I'll take the F-117 prototype, the one with the tail fins turned inwards, that or Have Blue or whatever it's called.

Blah... Rafale... blah

Isn't the Rafale the one which the French built before they realised their carriers weren't big enough for it? The Charles de Gaulle was the carrier in question, I think...

Anywho, as for that SU-47 Berkut, that thing shouldn't be allowed. Luckily for the west it's a one-off technology demonstator built by Sukhoi, who didn't have enough money to push it for production. It packs something like 80k lbs of thrust and is rumoured to have rear-facing radar for complete 360 degree coverage. The best bit is, it's 'super-manouverable', which basically means the pilot retains complete control in a stall

God forbid the russians ever get the thing in to the factories...

A few transforming components, thermonuclear engines, overtechnology = YF-19

[Tiara]

Meh, seeing you all go flying off in aircraft I'll just build a few hundred of these on my island.

Skyguard Velos - RIM-7 M Sparrow

(close proximity to my house)
Patriots (duh)

(Spread around the edge of my island)

In case of persistant irritation of a particular person/nation some ICBM's[/b]

DF-5 CSS-4 Mod. 2
Specs:  (ICBM, two stage, liquid-fueled, range: 13,000 km/11,000 km/7,457 miles, modernized, blunt nose, increased range or payload)

I'd probably be the new target for the US

heh, the rafale is not the pb, the carrier is . anyway, the CdG musn't be that bad since the brits want to buy a couple of them

and the berkut owns, it's more maneuvrable that the f22 or anything ( well the su27 was too anyway ), and it just looks so great
my favourite plane so far.

.

But the Navy has just been talking of mothballing the carriers, very odd.
I demand the Britain buys the Nimitz, as with it being Nuclear powered, in only needs to refuel every FOURTEEN YEARS!

the CdG is nuclear powered too, you f00
well the CdG is much smaller than a nimitz, I guess it can be seen as a good point for some people. it also has reduced radar profile ( heh, a stealth ship, what a joke I think ).
