scania V8 in a f350

I hate the way you talk down to other people, for starters 99.9% of american people I know are great people! Then there's the arrogant type like you, let's not forget American achievements (or lack of) all that America holds dear was invented somewhere else, telephone: Italy (wasn't Alexander Graham bell by the way, Italian Antonio meucci) , TV: Scotland, flight: china , jet engine: England, rockets: England , computer: England , v8 engine: France , nuclear technology: Germany , the automobile : Germany , submarine: Irish , Resubmersible submarine: Irish, the White house: Irish , America : Europe , rotary washing line: Australia ( had to give them a mention their only invention lol ) so just know what you are talking about before you talk down to or try insult other people because this sets a tone that I know the ordinary decent American does not appreciate, and attitudes like yours give the rest of us a poor yet inaccurate view of what I know are a great people!

Can you not just be nice?

 

Now, let's not get ahead of ourselves. I'm pretty sure the F-22 can pull the same turns and it can knock just about anything else out of the air and never be seen. 15 of our own F-15's against one F-22 were wiped out without being able to find him. There's also that joint eurofighter that the allies have been working on.

AK47 is king in reliability, not so great at range and accuracy. Though we did revise the M16 to make it more reliable and upgraded the barrel on the M60 to stand up to 15,000 rounds of continuous fire without overheating. Beyond that, Metal Storm.

Where the Russians were a real threat was numbers. We could field a couple hundred high tech fighters and they could throw 1500 migs at them. Was the same way with tanks and nukes. In fact, if you look at nukes, it's true that they set off the largest nuke ever, the Tsar Bomba at 58 megatons. They could have made it over 120MT but they figured, correctly, that that would be overkill.

It was very impressive, however the reason they built such large warheads was because their targeting systems weren't as good as ours. We can drop a bomb in someone's shirt pocket, and they can drop a bomb so big that it kills the guy from miles away.

Mind pointing out where we tried and failed? I don't recall us ever trying for that.

 

The Boeing sst was Americas attempt at supersonic passenger flight, yes the f22 is unrivalled in technology and could knock anything else out without even been seen but nothing can rival the su 37 for manoeuvrability and is probably the worlds best dogfighter, I'm trying to illustrate to that guy, just because it ain't American doesn't mean it's crap, there are other ways of achieving things, and because it's not the American way it's no reason to insult people! And besides this is not the place for insulting people

 

Somehow I don't see an su 37 tangling with a Harrier jump jet turning out well for the russians. And since the F-35 joint strike fighter is a far more advanced cross between a Harrier and an F-16, if the russians have a small edge, it's very short lived.

Ah, I found it. The Boeing project was cancelled due to budgeting, not design failure. That and the Concorde was already flying. Speaking of which:

 

Yes yes yes I know all this! But the Boeing started off as a "bigger" mach 3 design than the concord with swing wings, realising it was impossible to achieve this it was reduced in size and with money already spent and concord already flying ; well then:

Have you seen any videos of the su37? It can turn in it's own length! 37 feet, and it doesn't have the complexities of a VTOL aircraft, check it out, you will be astonished!

 

As for the eurofighter, it started life as A high manouverabilty dog fighter, now there is no-one to dog fight against it was adopted for ground attack and bomber but is no better at this role than what America came up with 20 years ago,

 

How did this thread get from an f350 with a scania engine to this? Speaking of which; scania does make an exceptional fighter plane not to be dismissed either, the Saab griffin; ( made my Saab-scania Sweden not Saab car company)

 

I'm not by the way trying to insult Americans or anything like that, im very pro-American ! I just think it's wrong for that guy to insult Pablo and his country , it shouldn't happen at all , not least on a trucking forum

 

I have been. The boeing design that way because we were playing around with the Valkyrie prototypes. Look those up for some fun reading.

I found a problem with the SU-37. It's not a production fighter. They only built two prototypes. So no dogfight can happen. The closest thing they have is the T-50 prototypes which, if they go into production, won't be in service till 2015.

I've been watching a few F-22 videos too. It can do all these things. YouTube has plenty of video of it. As of now, there's nothing in the air that can match the F-22.

 

There was a big operation called Red Flag in 08 where all our allies show up and we had a huge dogfight to practice air combat and stuff. Russia didn't show up but India did. They buy most of their fighters from Russia so they had a bunch of Sukhoi aircraft. The F-22's went 144 kills to zero in the entire exercise. Nobody scored a single hit on a raptor.
