[A.A. Cunningham]

No Raptor has yet to be a kill in ANY exercise against America's best - even with lopsided ROEs.

Never, ever drink Air Force kool-aid.

But did it register a kill in the exercise? Or is that just a convenient frame grab from a training video?

It ain't Kool Aid when it's a Red Flag. They fly/fight to win those ACM exercises.

HEre ya go ...

The 'kills' the Opfors got were not F-22s. Ya hafta read down deep, but there are no published kills of an F-22 I have EVER seen/read. Only ambitious hangar flying .. about 'the one I got but they wouldn't score it.' ;-)

At 200 V sub C and 179 Kts at 1000 ft range, what's your next plan if you miss?

Is the reticle a hard sight or a CCIP?

If it's a tracking shot, it looks like a miss to me. A snapshot?

I don't know what your point is, but even I can read a HUD display better than that.

If you saw that as a 'kill' then you are so wrong.
