The quality of the pilot is much more important than the quality of the fighter. The nature of the engagement is also more important than the quality of the fighter. It may well make sense to say that one fighter is better than another, but quantifying it with expected loss ratios is pointless. okay, what if we have two identical pilots with same skills. clones in fact. which would win? I don't know. Why don't you try the experiment and tell us the result ![]() His cloning machine isn't working since he ran out of viagra. hmm... What about the raelians? won't they clone him? ![]() The "clone" idea is the exact problem. The US has maintained air superiority since WW II where it needed it because the US has invested more in the training of their pilots. The training has been as close to the anticipated reality as possible, has rarely been cut back to save money, and the reality has been carefully researched by our intelligence agencies. We have also spent heavily on the most effective command and control systems in the world. One side effect of all that effective expenditure has been that the aircraft, electronics, and weapons systems have been developed to a really high extent, but the key is that those systems can be more effectively applied in a greater number of environments than the equivalent hardware systems owned by other nations. One real problem with those sources of air effectiveness is that they degrade rapidly when the training is reduced. That makes the training, etc. a great deal more of a critical factor than the nature of the hardware. |

Hello, ville! You wrote on 7 Mar 2004 19:13:35 -0800: vt i know US jet is much better. how many of best russian jets could vt one vt US jet take on at once? i'll bet the best US jet can shoot down at vt least 5 of russia's best jets before going down. Actually the better things get in Russia and East Europe, the fewer Slavic engineers and scientist will migrate to the US, and your superior technology will dive for a steep decline! Don?t get me wrong, Germanic people are pretty good organizers and excel at team work, but they lack innovative spirit and most importantly creativity. You are just good at perfect execution of orders without thinking for yourself With best regards, YULKA. E-mail: I'm working for one popular journal about technics, so collecting materials for different stories I discover that germans are authors of: jet plane, rocket missile up to Moon landing, basic design of modern submarine, basic design of nuclear subs propulsion system with just Walther catalytc converter instead of nuclear owen. About modern times: US and other nations spent lot of money developing so called compensating suite for fighter pilotes. US system is really high-tech: hundreds of small cavities on suits legs part will be pressurized by air to prevent blood running too far from brains on hard U-turns. Suite is managed by computer. Nice? Some germans just find out, thai if you put elastic tubes with some liquid of weight of blood from up to down in suite, then on U-turn that water also wants to go downwards those pressurizing leg part of suite much more accurate and 1000 times cheaper. So I think there is no need to underestimate them. Best Vello |
