So if lucky by 2020 they will have a 24/7 (3-shift) fighter readiness. That was some quick decision-making!

Fighter aircraft are guzzlers when it comes to fuel. That said, it's shameful for a country like Switzerland to take their safety for granted in such a brazen manner. I am told our Sukhois consume $400,000 worth of fuel in a single day's training, which is why an SUMK2 flight simulator was commissioned yesterday, complete with the terrain of this region.[/quote]

Spartan are these full motion simulators?

I laughed so hard these guys are so crazy

Full motion as in the pilot being able to do somersaults and stuff like that? I don't know man, but I hear they're as near the real thing as possible

You need to go back n check the backgrounds of the contributors here, no need to re-invent the wheel. This is the reason we at TEA insist on introductions.

Risasi, Jasiri and other fly guys

Is this hype but no substance?

Can some one, risasi, jasiri, crane, bloggers etc help us with a tactical simulation of scenarios on this mission. This was a near suicidal one according to me although all military missions almost are. Its also interesting how the squdron was not ready for an intercept mission, if it was in africa it would be said "what did you expect". Also why did it have to be F16s.

September 18, 2014:  Taiwan is retiring its remaining F-5 fighters. Taiwan began receiving F-5s in the 1970s and once had 66 in service. But accidents and old age reduced that to 32 now and these are used mostly for training. The F-5s is a 12 ton fighter roughly similar to the 1950s era MiG-21, and is a contemporary of that Russian fighter. The F-5 was built mainly for export to nations that could not afford the top-line Western fighters, but did not want the MiG-21s. The F-5 is normally armed with two 20mm cannon, and three tons of missiles and bombs. Introduced in 1962, over 2,200 were built before production ended in 1987......

@Risasi its a wonderfull day for us prop drivers. China has reportedly seen the light and is developing the Y 30, a turbo-prop transport in the range of the A 400m. Always a happy day when people realise how much better props are to jet engines.

With the U.S. F-35 Joint Strike Fighter still in limbo over reliability problems, Russian President Vladimir Putin’s administration on Monday said it would begin regular production of its newest fighter jet, the T-50, next year.
According to state-run media, the Russian military will begin mass-producing the advanced fighter jet in several versions, and will also begin making models that will be available for export........
