It’s called Red Flag where our pilots go up against Russian and other countries ACM. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Flag_(USAF)

I saw MIGs flying out of Miramar NAS when the Navy was there.

Happens quit frequently around Nevada. The AF uses the southern part of the State and the Navy uses the central part for Top Gun. Might be an interesting story if it was an F-35 and an SU-27.

...in what could be a sign that America is preparing for the possibility of war with Moscow.

Or Beijing, for that matter. The ChiComs operate variants of the Su-27.

Yes, but the author of the article needed to turn something quite ordinary into a sensational story. Up next, the shocking story behind vinegar in ketchup!

You can tune a piano, but you can’t tune a fish.

Hmmm. According to the dementocrats and sycophants, as of 1/21/2017 we will be in a shooting war with russia because, well, Trump. Maybe he’ll be to busy to deport all AAs, lgbtqx, trespassers and certain saxophone players. That’s what they seem to think anyway. Guess I didn’t get a copy of the secret memo about all the evil that’s about to be unleashed. They walk among us.

Psst: It’s been going on for decades

The masters of both OBAMA and KERRY would love to start WW3 before a we get a common sense patriot in charge.

Be on your guard in these last days and hours. I fear that the acts of criminality and corruption this administration has become renowned for are not finished yet

No. They train against various “enemies” all the time.

Is this some sort of USA vs RUSSIA leak or propaganda?

Since when is it okay to publish mock dogfights in a Restricted Area or MOA (Military Operating Area)?

I would think if the base doesn’t publish it, and you are on the base looking up, don’t put it in the net.

Seems like FAKE NEWS. Same people pushing a big war.

And it is not a very exciting dogfight anyway.

Interesting evasive maneuver. A straight line.

Yikes! Vinegar in ketchup? What next? Don’t tell me that mayonnaise is made with egg whites. That’d be going way too far.

Hyperbole much?
