This Jet Terrified the west

If the engine is dirt cheap , how can it be heavy maintenance? Western jet engine has long hours of working life but if it cost 10 times the cost of a short life Russian engine. I do not see any benefit of it.
From someone who never served and been deployed, never seen the benefits of durable components and trust thereof, why should I take your opinion seriously?

A fighter jet is only as strong as its radar, missiles, electronic warfare, and RCS. Areas in which western alternatives are better. Speed is not as important as people think.
Mediocre jet.

a lot of the fastest jets were built in the 1960s

Lol.. another BS from u. The euro typhoon are brag to be maintenance low despite having a high start up and we know it ends up having both high start up and high maintenance which now nobody wants.

F-22 is another failure which require high maintenance that USAF stop production and concentrate on others. We all know u are a paper solduers here. :enjoy:

They are Americans. You have to be an American Citizen to work at NASA. No matter wherever sh*thole like yours they came from.

There were even Pakistanis working on the Manhattan Project. And calling other nations shitholes is probably why everybody in the world loves Murica so much.

Way to go dip shit.

@gambit What did you think about MiG-31 when you first found out about it?
The MIG-31 is a much more capable jet than the MIG-25, but speed remains the series' most prominent capability. Of course, the US/NATO are concerned of any improvement but we do not 'fear' the MIG-31 like how air forces observers often commented that we are.


To sum it up...

- The MIG-31 and the F-15 are roughly the same dimensions but the MIG is heavier empty and fueled.

- The F-15 have better range.

- The MIG-31 is faster.

- The MIG-31 have slightly higher service ceiling, but not enough to be tactically advantageous.

- Both jets have been used as test platforms for experimental weapons, such as anti-satellite (ASAT) missiles.

Most air forces cannot afford dedicated platforms, such as the B-52 or SR-71, so if an air force have to buy its defense, they would have to shop around for the most versatile platform as possible. Speed demons like the MIG-25 and the MIG-31 are not useless, but is your geopolitical situation necessitates getting over your borders as soon as possible? Think about that for a moment. If your country shares multiple borders, and maybe at least one of them is hostile to you, is getting to targets important? So it is not as simple as looking at hardware specs. Another issue is what if the seller does not want to sell, like how the US will not sell the F-22 but is selling the F-35 like ice cream. So how many countries flies the MIG-25/31?

In my opinion, I favor 'jack-of-all-trades' or generalists over specialists. Over time, I can raise the bars for those 'jack-of-all-trades', but specialists are sort of 'locked in' into what they can do. For the MIG-25/31, they are essentially speed demons.

Personally, I wish the PLA leadership is filled with idjits like you, but I respect the PLA leadership too much to know better.

Thank you so much for your detailed reply. I am surprised to hear that a former air force pilot like you prefers jack of all trades over specialist aircrafts especially since the USAF can afford to have lots of specialist aircrafts unlike most air forces.

Imagine spending $3 trillion
at least we have money to spend. Your country can't even pay your loans to your daddy China. Pretty soon you'll be their bitch if not you guys already are. :usflag:

We put many dirty inbred kaffir pigs like you in their place. In Sha Allah we’ll be putting many more in their place.
good luck on that Tali!

Why did the USN chose the F-18 for its carrier fleets? The joke is that the F-18SH is like the Honda Accord or the Toyota Camry -- jack-of-all-trades.

The USAF experimented with 'composite wing'...


One possibility on the table is a return to composite wings.​
In the early 1990s, the Air Force organized the 366th Fighter Wing out of Mountain Home Air Force Base, Idaho, into the service’s premier “air intervention” composite wing. For roughly a decade, the wing flew fighters, bombers and tankers with the goal of meeting the challenges of a post-Cold War world order — where conflict could arrive anywhere, anytime.​

Basically, the composite wing concept is similar to an aircraft carrier, that a wing would contain the necessary platforms readied to deploy. The wing would have fighters, fighter-bombers, and air refuelers, and all under a unified local commander. Under this concept, the jack-of-all-trades would be well suited. You should understand that the US military is unique in that we are structurally expeditionary, meaning we are essentially overseas players. We do not have a 'home field'. We are perpetually 'VISITORS' on the scoreboard.

I love the F-16. I have the F-16 literally tattoo-ed on my right arm. An expeditionary platform like the F-16 needs to be reliable, not simple, but reliable. A jack-of-all-trades is not a bad thing. The issue is the bars of all those trades. The higher they are, the more versatile and lethal the air force. When I was on the F-111 and stationed at RAF Upper Heyford, I learned a few things about the SR-71 detachment at RAF Mildenhall. The SR-71 is a niche platform and everything needed to maintain it was expensive and time consuming. The photo intelligence from the SR-71 was so valuable that essentially, every US president was its patron, and whatever logistics the SR-71 needed, there was a tacit understanding that the current US president would be behind that need. When you look at the history of the A-4, A-7, F-4, F-15, and so on, each of them got bombs strapped on to it at one time or another, even the F-14 was experimented with bombs. So my preference for jack-off-all-trades are not unique.

Of course you need to give them a US citizenship otherwise how else you will take credit for their achievements.If those shitholes can actually build America , give you top talent and scientists than imagine what should America be called, a place where people like exist.
It's useless to argue with a man of your intellect , you are probably some high school graduate who got early in the army ,did war crimes in Iraq and Syria and now suffers from PTSD and drink all day at home. Only step outside of home once a month to collect his welfare check.
naaaaah no Pakistanis there dim wit. Maybe there were... cleaning toilets.
Naah we are not indians , cleaning toilets is their speciality.

What money do you guys have? The $30 trillion in debt? Y’all owe trillion to china so that’s you dad. Your already their bitch. And what Pakistan does doesn’t mean I support it. Islam is first for me and In Sha Allah mujahideen will turn East Turkistan hell for Chinese mushrikeen just like mujahideen made Iraq and Afghanistan hell for kaffirs like you. I don’t worship countries like you do dirty kaffir.
good luck on that Tali!
We’ve already put many of you in your place. We’re literally conquering the world as we speak. We’re spreading Dawah throughout the world and Islam is fastest growing religion right now. Muslims taking over many high positions all over the world. Mujahideen destroying kaffir invaders. Y’all soon are gonna be history.
In Sha Allah we’ll set up Islamic Emirate in America and send all you pigs to the grave.
