Anatolian Eagle' 19 - Thunder to roar in Turkey !

[Lincoln]

Allow me to educate you.

Cobra manoeuvre is never sustained in a straight line. It simply doesnt have the ENERGY WHICH IS LOST IN SLOWING DOWN BELOW STALL SPEEDS. This sort of alpha manoeuvring is high AOA manoeuvre in which the aircraft first slows down (it never becomes still though) and IF IT INCREASES AOA, IT REQUIRES THRUST VECTORING TO VECTOR ITSELF INTO THE DESIRED DIRECTION OR IF IT PITCHES ITS NOSE DOWN, IT USES THE CHANGE IN P.E. TO CONVERT IN K.E.

Aap k liye asaan alfaaz mein. Cobra manoeuvre is a process in which the aircraft regains and bleeds energy repeatedly.

Before calling me amateur, you need to understand basics of kinematics which are taught in grade 7.

And guess what? Right now some of the gent's from one of our fighter squadron are smiling at your understanding about the matter. And your confidence. Amusing. Really.



F-16V is an adequate and a realistic answer to Rafale. Wait for Trump administration to depart. You'll see a change in Pakistan's standing. Pakistan has always suffered during republican rule. Pressler amendment was one of the products of republicans.

Your posts are very informative. I must ask, how reliable and effective is thrust vectoring in actual combat.

I have heard that being able to effectively use thrust vectoring capabilities to one's advnatage requires a lot of skill. So, is it practical in an actual scenario, can it be used to gain edge?

An Su-35 employing thrust vectoring will confuse the radar's trying to paint it. Paint as in track it for missile lock. Since slow moving targets are hard to track by airborne radars.

Otherwise in a dogfight, thrust vectoring is useless. An F-16 would make a 360 in the time an Su will slow down, vector and regain airspeed.

I suppose the IAF's Su-30 pilot didn't get the memo prior to the 27th of Feb.

lol. They didn't even come in the range of 25 nm near the vipers. It was shot from a pretty long distance.

Yes. Congress is not approving.

We had eyes on 8 C-130H in mint condition in USAF Reserve. Even USAF was willing to let them go. Congress didn't.

Why is the civilian administration in the US so damn confused. I bet we are the only country on Earth with an OK relationship with the pentagon and capitol hill hating us at the same time .

Pentagon loves us because we sometimes change their diapers in Afghanistan.

Capitol is money hungry. And we don't have that. So they turn to India for that.

Also Chinese factor is something which unites both Pentagon and Capitol against us.

I guess the JF-17s get a chance to play with F-15E as well if they are not purely used for Air-to-Ground roles within the exercise.

They have had that chance already in Saudi Arabia but I think this is the first time against American pilots.

 

[GriffinsRule]

Im guessing JF-17s will be the red team trying to stop the F-15s on bombing missions and F-16s playing escort.
Just a hunch

Italy shud had brought Typhoons with it

Is there any info on the exercise against the Saudis or is it classified?

I know because @Windjammer posted a pic sometime ago showing Thunder along with Eagle. Then in the Gulf Shield exercise, the full compliment of Arabian fighters was present, including Vipers, Eagles, and Typhoons. There is a pic showing all the aircraft's along with Thunder in formation.
