Of course that missile had to be flying high.
Prove otherwise. The simple fact of the matter is the F-35 is the future. We cannot rely on 1960’s technology. We cant afford to maintain obsolete and varied weapons platforms. We need to streamline and leveage our logistics and training to make our aerospace forces more flexible, stealthy and lethal.
The big question....did the Russians detect the Raptors before they came up on the radio>
Which, if it happened, probably wouldn't be too long.
The Russians have problems detecting themselves. This isn’t the first time that a Russian aircraft got a radio call, asks “Where the f*** is that coming from?!”, then looks over and realizes he’s got wingmen.
IsIs is only replacing what Saddam, Assad and Erdogan types have been doing in terms of genocide in these regional post colonial empires. Except they are now getting high points from each of these and are thus a catalyst to making them into a larger united caliphate empire.
Talking about Syria being sovereign over various ethnies only bolsters the imperial language of IsIs which soon will become a common framework for Saudis, “Syrians”, Turks etc
