Since us and Ivan are flying around in Syria why not organize some war games. Meet at high noon over some desert in Syria and start mock dog fighting.

Since we are flying around in Syria why not organize some war games. Meet at high noon over every desert in Syria and bomb each Al Qaeda or ISIS convoy, encampment, and loyalist back to the stone age. Let's see which side is better at air-to-mud (or air-to-sand) and end this protracted Syrian civil war. Play it like a video game, call it "Sandy Crush", and see who collects the most points.

So the Ruskies finally use the R-77 for something other than propaganda, huh...
It only took 30 years, it mist be a real scary missile (not).

I would put my money on the latest version of the AIM-120D.

The Russians air to air missiles are pretty good.

It's like an airshow - operational testing every major country's weapons against the enemies of all mankind. Invite China. Invite everyone who opposes Islamic terrorism. I love it!

I hope to see Russian Bears and B-52s, in formation, bombing the Isis (Dash) killers into bits. A dog fight between the F-35 and the MiG-35 would be a great wargame, just for entertainment, between the destruction of Isis.
