"Stinky Pete" wrote in message et... Well...it's been a romp for US jets pretty much always. Just look at the record of Russki jets in the first Gulf War, the Balkans, Libya and Israel vs. Syria in the Bekaa valley. This should give you some idea why jets like the Gripen, Eurofighter and Rafale can seem to sell for diddly. In the past 10 years, they've probably sold for export 20 aircraft between the three of them. Germany came real close to bailing out of the Eurofighter program. If it wasn't for India, Russia wouldn't sell anything either. i can buy several new migs for the price of one stealth fighter. |

news "Jim Doyle" wrote in message ... "Tarver Engineering" wrote in message ... "William Black" wrote in message ... "Tarver Engineering" wrote in message ... I believe Arafat will outlast Sharon politically. Probably. Eventually Sharon will loose an election Sharon is in trouble now. Arafat is in for life Christian Arabs have nowhere lese to go. It's the difference between a democratically elected politician and a tyrant... Not exactly. Surely that's pretty much the textbook definition of the difference between the two...?! That would depend on who's textbook you read. Arafat has no problem winning elections Heck, neither did Saddam Hussien. What's your point? Dictators win elections not because they are loved but because people don't want to disappear. and Sharon is about all done. Where else do you think Christian Arabs have to go? Well, plenty are Israeli citizens. Israel has plenty of options other than Sharon. True, but you will notice things seem to happen to people, like the Palestinian Prime Minister a while back, who begin to be seen as alternatives to Arafat. DEP |

The question is training method and quality of the pilots. Are they able to
work independently? Tied to ground controllers? Well trained on their planes and equipment? What weapons are on the planes? Good radars and missiles or "export versions?" And what generation are the respective planes? If it is an out and out fight I go with F-22A. Best balance. I would want the pilot to be the best, though. One of the deadliest North Vietnamese aces, Col. Tomb, flew a MiG-17. DEP |
