Now personally I’m not sure exactly how you get enough oxygen to do sufficient combustion, or if this is applicable to the weight class of Meteor, but it otherwise seems sound that Meteor works fine at higher altitudes despite a lack of internal oxidiser, or perhaps the fuel includes oxidiser.
Perhaps the schematics omit an oxidiser tank anyway, we don’t know.
They don’t get paid billions of dollars for nothing.
They exist to commit epistemic violence & injustice, it’s literally their job. There is now low that won’t be stooped to, no act too immoral or depraved.
Spreading lies about a hated blood-enemy is certainly within their purview.
What you write is your business and there may be something to it, But they ( US propaganda spy)certainly have a better place to work than smearing the training of Soviet pilots in the 1980s…on a Russian forum where Russian pilots and aircraft operators from those days post. Plus, they’d be exposed immediately.
They already work in those places. This is the icing on top.
Work tirelessly on all levels, some levels will influence each other, it gets easier and easier.
You severely underestimate the breadth and extent of such activities.
If you recall the “testimony” of Belenko? Scabrous fairytales and defamation to his dying breath. People swallowed it up. Didn’t matter that it was obviously untrue to anyone with critical faculties.
This forum itself, even. A testimony that “Western aligned lies” trump truth to the contrary.
I think it’s naive to believe truth prevails, especially on Internet forums. Exactly how does this “marketplace of ideas” platitude work?
Yeah but…I would say those planes are really close, which is great for the F-15 that even though it’s bigger it can be competitive with a rocket like the MiG 29
Doesnt exactly change the fact that it HAS been an issue to this point. Theres also the question of how well these might cope with being possible to target with R-37M’s now, who’s primary role is AWACS killing, and the fact ukraine does not have any experience with AWACS yet.
In acceleration above 1M the F-15 will be better than the MiG 29, the PW-220 engines were slightly worse up to 1M than the original PW-100, but above that speed the performance is dramatically different.
For me there is no best, airplanes are one big compromise. What’s best for you?
No. That would be ridiculous for me to complain about- mainly because we have the Phoenix and for the longest while the Aim-7E dominated the sky. I’m simply talking about A2G where we have yet to have the true upper hand in Long Range Guided Munitions.
Given it was Pre-Covid, odds are at least 3/4 of the people here weren’t AROUND for it. But I do remember that, so I won’t sit here and go “hergity durr the US missiles need to be X superior to Russia they always get the nicest things”
Fair, but A. The Intruder is a premium and B. The AGM-123K is, although good and definitely something I want, not currently going to be available on a non-premihm chassis which is sad. Imagine if the R-27ERs or R-73s were stuck behind a paywall- everyone would be livid, reasonably so
