    You mean the P51 that was designed for the Royal Air Force and was mediocre at best until they junked the American made Alison engine and replaced it with the British Rolls Royce Merlin engine?

    That's not entirely accurate. The early mustangs did well in Africa but yes the Merlin was a better choice. But the p 47 was much more destructive to the German military..

    There were planes that were better than others on paper but winning fights was much more about pilot skill and tactics.
    It was common for seasoned pilots in p 40s to trounce new pilots in brand new D mustangs. The p 40 had the allison by the way.

    Now, fast forward what does it say when newbie f35 pilots absolutely trounce our best f-15 and f16 pilots?

    I guess we know what triggers you. :)
    Detecting an aircraft and shooting it down are two different things.

    We agree on something!!!
    :)



    They are extraordinarily different things.
    Anything that is guided towards an f 35 dies before it can detect the f35 on it's own.

    That leaves shooting blindly at the sight or sound of jet engines as an adversaries only option.

    According to Chuck Yeager who will win in a dog fight is must more depended on the skills of the pilots then the planes they are flying.

    Recently, Zionist fighter jets attacked Syria without being disturbed by Russkie rockets.

    Looks to me as if Russian war technology was just a pile of scrap or simply propaganda lies as usual.

    True but my Yeager got shot down twice..

    And he was at best the 2nd man to break the speed of sound.

    Syria shot at F-35 heavily damaging it.

    The F-35 is B-ware for cheap countries.

    F-35 has no stealth ability and can be detected by passive radar. Since itss low, it can be shot down even from ground.

    What makes you think a country like Germany that can land a spacecraft on a comet, cant not shot down a rather primitive design like the F-35?

    Probably Germans can manage to shoot down an F35 because they don't rely on Russkie stuff anymore as the NVA does. :)

    Russkis can try to shoot at it.....Israelis will turn around and blast those missile sites....they won't pull any punches.

    We chose not to use jets in WW2. It's not like they had jets and we didn't.

    P-51s seriously hurt the Luftwaffe in early 1944.

    This is the first plane you see in the RAF museum just outside London.

    You had no jets. We invented them. Your people had never the mental capacity to build complex new technology.

    Not true. Pattent for the first jet was British .

    Britain and America both had jets in the ET before the end of the war.

    You had not. The first functional jet was our Messerschmidt. You can patent alot. We made the thing reality. Its always like that. We create it. Thats the burden of being geneticly absolute top.

    I see it as unfortunate that we have to share this planet with so much genetic b-grades.

    Leninism/Marxism is/was a failed ideology.....just look at your former EG, and rest of Warsaw pact.....it's a genetic defect.
