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:

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?


Assuming a neutral start to the engagement, odds are that both fly
home to base.

Oh, not if the whole point of the posting was a troll
and gleeful attempt to ignite a flame fest.

Silly me.

Sticky gets very upset if he's not the one to initiate the flame fests. He
feels it's his solemn responsibility and obligation.

Stalin-Putin, Putin-Stalin. The more things change, the more they stay the
same.

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.

Well get him some!
It's being advertised all over the place at prices
that even a young adolescent can afford, to impress
his current infatuation.
And there's even a competing product

Who me?
I don't even try.
I'm more likely to throw a bucket of sand on some of these flare-ups.
But don't feel personally offended.
You're not singled out.
