“Can an F-22 shoot down a stealth aircraft? Certainly would be nice to know. “
I’m sure a few short bursts from the 20mm cannon would do the trick.

When the geniuses plan on storming area 51.
Dos Gringos in their song, “Jeremiah Weed” calls them Stink Bugs and Strike Eagles they call Mud Hens. Cute. Caution do not, repeat do not listen to the song in mixed company or around children. Seriously.
“Seems I heard that before about the Mig-15, Mig-21 and SA2. My father heard that about the Zero in WWII.”
We were sweating pretty hard the first time we got a look at the IS series of tanks too. It does not pay to be arrogant about ones own military technology.
Thanks for that.I will check it out.
Love it thanks a bunch.Did you ever listen to Dick Jonas?
“Did you ever listen to Dick Jonas?”
