Timid combat hiding in your own airspace and getting blasted to pieces by drones is not what I’d call effective at testing a platform lmao
That’s not true lol
I was trying to find where it came from, but I could only link it back to a reddit post.
I’m also not really an air guy. I’m mostly into tanks.

last i checked syria is not part of russia
last i checked a drone strike on a parked et is not aircombat
i got experience having my comments removed for such reasons hence why i say so
Here ya go, you may tout yourself as 3rd party but you’re picking one airframe and using that as your evidence
Last I checked there’s been no reports of the Su-57 being active in Syria for 6 years.
Hiding in your airspace isn’t air combat either lol
Saying something for historical context will not get you punished :|
he asked for an f-22 with exposed bolts
just one
i showed him
im not at fault here broski
There’s a fine difference between flush bolts and those that stick out or aren’t flush lol

gaijin likes to maintain neutrality when concerning current conflicts
if i say something that would be interpreted as taking sides in. say the isr**li operation in gaza, i would get hammered
You are at fault for not giving the whole story, he didn’t give the whole story about a pre-production airframe and you didn’t mention it hadn’t received an overhaul in a while. Missing details can lead to people making incorrect assumptions.
and as he asked for someone to show non-flushed or exposed bolts on a single f-22, i showed
its not that hard to get broski.
why you ganging up on me?
all he asked was for exposed bolts.
nothing more.
i showed him exposed bolts
nothing more.
It’s been 6 years, and it didn’t do literally anything lol
Already Unimpressed.
Talking about one for context and without being political is not against the rules. I’ve had many discussions involving Israeli vehicle inaccuracies based on the 7th attacks and Gaza without being punished simply because I was being objective.
So, no. You wouldn’t be hammered if you were careful.
You’re presenting it as if it’s just as bad, when it’s not remotely close to what I meant. It’s pretty obvious I meant “jutting out”.
i dont think combat logs were given in that source
eh, not my issue
posting videos is the real issue, talking is fine.
most well kept and production f-22 airframes have bolt covers that hide even the bolts engravings.
i took exposed to mean an airframe that lacks the bolt covers
The issue is you showed them without context, which could lead to people making wild claims and citing you.
but you yourself said it saw combat?
I didn’t make that claim. You did.
Hiding in your airspace to avoid being shot down is not combat.
But you said you couldn’t talk about it at all?
You said that yourself.
i expect people to have the decency to read all the conversation
also to have common sense to know that not all airframes are alike
yes, the russians have claimed combat for the 57 in syria and ukraine
in that sense, BVR is not combat either?
if i shoot at a mirage over the border and he shoots back at me from his side of the border…
thats not combat?
combat
/ˈkɒmbat/

- fighting between armed forces.
my mistake then
You’d be surprised.
