    Chengdu J-20 5th Generation Aircraft News & Discussions

    You asked for it, are you going to understand it, it's a different story. There are two kinds of jamming and so that you can show us your excellent knowledge I will not identify which is which in the text below. Right ..and this is theoretical .. like what engineers who know make...

    Greece is in panic on impending acquisition of the F-35 by Turkey

    I don't dictate policy nor can I influence politics. All I can do is voice my opinion.

    Greece is in panic on impending acquisition of the F-35 by Turkey

    It may surprise you coming from a Greek and actually one who has served in the military; but i don't see Turkey as neither wrong nor right. In relations between countries there is just one thing. National interests. Turkey is doing what it thinks best for its interests, and so should the rest...

    Greece is in panic on impending acquisition of the F-35 by Turkey

    I think it is of interest to us at least. I do not put blame on anyone. I am just recognising an internal political power struggle. If this power struggle affects an neighbour (and such an important one), I think it is something we should pay attention to.

    Greece is in panic on impending acquisition of the F-35 by Turkey

    The Imia situation showed us that Turkey can be dangerous. Let us not forget the "sledgehammer" plans and the fragile relationships between turkey's politicians and military which led to the decimation of its highest ranks in order to protect the establishment from further coup plans. Things...

    and yet those who do not understand how the weapon systems of an aircraft operate make assumptions.

    Greece is in panic on impending acquisition of the F-35 by Turkey

    we only have 4 or those Zubr hovercrafts and if you are asking they are intended to be used a rapid reaction force. essentially to carry the forces that will try to retake an island. Not invade. On the other hand turkey has a massive fleet of LCTs . Look let us not kid one another. Both...

    Greece is in panic on impending acquisition of the F-35 by Turkey

    You yourself counted four armies. So may I ask who are they protecting Turkey from? Only Greece and Bulgaria are facing these 4 armies. It is not a piss content. It is nothing. We were spending about 6bn a year combined maintenance and procurements. I think this is peanuts for both our...

    Greece is in panic on impending acquisition of the F-35 by Turkey

    Non taken. Greece has the long term dispute with Turkey. Turkey has in eastern Thrace the largest concentration of forces anywhere in the world right now. About 100.000 personal in total. This exceeds the total number of armed forces in the whole of Greece. Even if you are a pacifist you...

    Greece is in panic on impending acquisition of the F-35 by Turkey

    Not as such. There is a 4 fold semi developed plan. 1. Upgrade current fleet. 2. procure second hand fighters ( a mixture of F-15s and F-16s is preferred) 3. Upgrade Anti aircraft arsenal and up the numbers. 4. Examine the option of committing to buy about 48 Sukhoi Su-35BM and...

    Greece is in panic on impending acquisition of the F-35 by Turkey

    Nothing will. Just like nothing happened all the other times. And I don't think u even fully understand the 12nm issue. Yes because the fast move is inside our airspace.

    Greece is in panic on impending acquisition of the F-35 by Turkey

    You are simply being idiotic .. . You are even more moronic than the guy above and both of you are uneducated. Clearly He may be an Armenian, but he is not deluded. There is a great big number of Turkish people who dream of Turkey attacking Greece. Besides how clearly moronic this is...

    Chengdu J-20 5th Generation Aircraft News & Discussions

    You are absolutely right there. I believe I mentioned this some time ago. And here is where I believe the problem lies. I am not judging the J-20! Not at all. What I am judging is the way some members believe the J-20 is the second coming of Jesus Christ. In short, I have a problem with...

    Chengdu J-20 5th Generation Aircraft News & Discussions

    Perhaps you are right. Perhaps I am just a guy who was asked to put things together. By that reasoning though, you and others, who have never: seen an aircraft, touch it, maintain it, read the manuals, spend hours and hours and hours in training go to seminars, understand exactly what each...

    Chengdu J-20 5th Generation Aircraft News & Discussions

    Only our F-16s got a glimpse of the F-22. No F-22 has flown in Greek airspace (that we know of). and Greek AWACS aircrews who shared their experiences. No, I mean there is not much time for lasting impression feeling, you start being sceptical about the limitations of your own gear in the...

    Chengdu J-20 5th Generation Aircraft News & Discussions

    They haven't kept quiet. As you know, people in uniform talk with other people in uniform when it not "top secret". I have long left the service, but I had already heard about the Greek RED FLAG participation just a week after our boys flew back. People are not impressed. They are sceptical...

    Chengdu J-20 5th Generation Aircraft News & Discussions

    I didn't talk about specification, nor did I say the plane was given out to be tested. Read carefully what I wrote. LM is in a marketing campaign for years for the F-35. They have been very forthcoming in showing off. Nobody took an F-22 home to test it, we have however seen that our systems...

    Chengdu J-20 5th Generation Aircraft News & Discussions

    I can happily reply to this.. you couldn't have served me better. "Has the F-22 been "tested independently and evaluated"?" Unfortunately for you, yes. LM has been more than forthcoming with the plane. NATO members have access to the plane's performance during exercises. Many NATO members...
