Not to sound like an F-22 cheerleader but I thought this was interesting. . .

And you would be claiming that these "official secret" adversary
aircraft
have "silent sentry"..?

No, just you're running in the front of the car, and so have failed to
understand what that means.

The statement you were responding to asked, "Why not aganist silent sentry
which is designed to..." and you offered a "Because..." answer. So are you
buying nto this "silent sentry" bit being outfitted onto Russian aircraft
like the Mig-29 and Su-27 or not?

Yes, I see you have a considerable problem with understanding this.

Now, think for a while: if the USAF is not even reporting about testing of
F-22s against MiG-29s and Su-27s (at home), so, in which World do you live
to expect from them to report about testing much more exotic stuff?


I don't know what is scarier--the thought that you actually think the
USN
has joined in this alleged "evil cabal" to save the F/A-22, or the
fact
that
you are agreeing with a two-ton loon like Denyav in the first place.
Would
that be "aviation journalist", or "aviation fantasist"?

Again the same problem as above: that should have meant "F-15" instead
of
"F-22", i.e. it was a typo, but you're so fast in attempting to make me
look
silly, you don't even notice this.

You have lumped the USN into the "save the F/A-22" cabal you posited with
your, "The USAF and the USN are just re-inventing air-to-air..." bit. Pray
tell what the USN's big piece of the F/A-22 fight is?

Sigh... OK. Let's try it one more time, this time with the type corrected
(and, don't worry: you'll get it sooner or later):

The USAF and the USN are just re-inventing air-to-air, after they realized
that the F-22 might otherwise get cancelled, and it could happen they to sit
there with _F-15s_ and Super Horrors and have nothing to tackle all the
Flankers and PAK-FAs any more.

And I hope you'll not come to the same idea again and think that the USN
expects its Super Horrors to fight for air superiority in any kind of other
scenario but battling Congo, Liberia, or Somalia...?
