splashed a lot of Germans.

 

French aces. 

 

Its not the plane around a man, its the MAN in the plane.

The French get a lot of brainwashing propaganda, and so I assume BW's propaganda of brute force cut and paste troll posts nearing cyberattack levels are not quite there as to be so far a bit entertaining and half humoristic brain play, typical French.

 

It might help him gain some intel yonder, depending the replies, who knows.

 

That being said, he never has seen live in the flesh the F22 demo I saw in NC. I have seen both the Rafale and the F22.

 

The Rafale was nice, like a souped up F16, but not even as loud.

Then they told us to protect our ear drums because a B1B flyover with full 4xF16 engines afterburning were dangerous for ear drums.

It was really loud..... until the F22 took off.

 

Man! WHAT A BEAST! is all I can say. This thing was twice as loud as the B1B and maneuvered like a draggon, stopping and going right in the air at will. TVC deflections would camber convexly or concavely the whole fuselage. It was like a raging cat with a arching back all balled up for a fight.

 

Kids were crying in fright on the tarmac, women had tears in their eyes.

 

BW, you are ignorant. I have seen the light. Go on, take on the day, and go see the F22. Your petty videos and, let alone "cave of Plato" comments are irrelevant. You should be ashamed of yourself.

All I'm saying to the BWings out there: sometimes intellect and computations are nice, but sometimes you need to get out and see for yourself what is out there. BW, me think you need a stiff one or to get laid or something and then come back.

.... oh, and given my knowledge in fixing aircrafts, this F22 must be a folly of dedication towards the kinds of nightmare in technicalities that show its handlers do more than care for this airframe. I would never for the life of me sign up for a job near or around that aircraft because it would be overwhelming for me. Only sheer mind toughness and not just intelligence must be required to "tinker" with it. Behind its graceful lines and even its powerful demo, I sense, as a military aircraft mechanic/avionic something required of the super-manly to match its character requirement.

 

This thing scares the bejesus out of me. The F22 virtualy scarred me for life because I can smell what it is capable of.

Huh by second-hand info what i've heard is that it is more maintenance friendly than legacy aircraft. a laptop computer can be plugged into it to accurately point out any problems in the plane or such like that.

He says that understanding it must be a nightmare. Plug and replace is NOT the same as understanding what you just replaced. 

Wow, hehehee and hahaha - and "we will always be the superior power of the world" ... seems to me that your posts are not significantly different in quality as Bluewings - right ? Listen Kiddie, fortunate for you your military leaders seem to see situations in a realistic way - maintaining superiority is not only a matter of technology but also a matter of money.

Some posters can call me names as much as they want , it will not change a thing .

Seriously , how to you expect me to react when I read so much lies , mistakes , errors , misconceptions and sometimes pure and free bashing ?

Few exemples :

(Herald)

""The Rafale is a bomb truck with a secondary air to air capability""

 

This is nothing but a forum legend . If you understand "multi-role" , you should also understand "omnirole" . Nobody has ever been capable to prove its case against the Dassault fighter . Rafale is excellent at both tasks . We only have to look at the last 50 years and the various aircrafts designed during that time to see ONE thing : very few aircrafts have been truely designed as multirole from the first blueprint . F-14 : long range interceptor to protect the fleet , multi role added later on , F-15 : fast interceptor to counter the Foxbat , multi role added later on , F-16 : short range dogfighter for homeland protection , multirole added later on , F-117 ; pure bomber , B-1 : pure bomber , B-2 : pure bomber , F-22 : pure interceptor with some small atg capabilities , F-35 : Ah ! a true multirole fighter from day one .

You can also check the Russian designs , same story . In Europe , this is a bit different . The Panavia Tornado was not a true multirole from day one but not far off , the Mirage 2000 is a true multirole aircraft from day one , the Viggen and gripen are also multirole from the start , the rafale is a also a true multirole from day one , the Typhoon blueprint is the one of an interceptor .

 

""France designed the Rafale to fight her "colonial" wars""

 

This is completly untrue . France designed the Rafale to counter the USSR menace and to replace the entire air fleet .

 

""ALGERIA was the referent enemy"

 

??? Huh ? (uncontrolable laugh !) No , it was Russia .

 

""They had exactly one chance to get it right and they missed it. As a practical matter METEOR and CAESAR have to work now so they can piggyback off those results; or their air forces both naval and land based will be no better than second rate equipment-wise for what they need to do A2A.  As of now, the Mainstay supported Sukhois will eat them alive.That is what the engineering incompetence of DASSAULT, MBDA, and THALES led to.""        

Its second rate, all of it, and its largely idiots, like you, for which you can blame for that outcome. Fantasy by fantasists needs to end sometime.
