The Ruskies are geniuses when it comes to aviation design. We can't ever relax.

This really begs the question, did we win the Cold War? The Chinese are becoming very competitive also.

What they are good at, is stealing.

Unclear, but of some import; a foreign "F-15 pilot" is mentioned, but was he flying that or one of the birds mentioned end of article?
Not down on the Raptor, I hear wonderful things about it. Still, the closer our perception of its ability v whatever, the more successful our sorties.

Right... The Rooskies have discovered commerce.
To: Ralph the Hun
Any idea why they would be flying with their flaps down? Is that normal?
