The Chinese People's Liberation Army recently staged an intercept exercise targeting the U.S.' latest stealth fighter jet, the F-22 Raptor . . . The Science and Technology Daily, published in Beijing, wrote a story about the drill. "Right after the radar sent the information on the location of the stealth fighter to the missile launch team, the Hong Qi No. 9 missile flew into the clouds and an explosion was heard only 40 seconds later. There was loud applause for the success of the exercise," it said.
Hehehehehehehehehehe....
Honky Number 9?
They named a missile after Eliot Spitzer ?.................
So the Chinese fired a rocket into the air and it went “Boom!”
I believe they had the ability to do the same thing 800 years ago.
LOL
The F-22 may be an advanced fighter on paper, but they are taking out hundreds of F-15’s and F-16’s and replacing them with dozens of F-22’s.
Currently, no nation has a 5th generation fighter like the F-22 and our updated F-15 and F-16 jets are more than a match for any other air force.
In their dreams!!
It’s criminal but at the moment the leadership of congress see’s Obamacare as more important than security.....November 2!!!
My favorite shot of the F-22, that's the space shuttle launching in the background.
The photo appears to have been taken over China Lake in the Mojave Desert with Highway 395 and the Los Angeles Aqueduct below.
Is that duct tape on the dorsal area above the right engine? If the women don't find you handsome, at least let them find you handy!
What a deadly beauty!!!
Hopefully, Congress and President Palin will reauthorize about 500 more of these beauties, ala, Reagan and the B-1.
That’s cool.
Thought it was an explosion with a Light Saber coming out of it.
Believe it or not, Duct Tape was invented for the sole purpose of a quick repair on air wings during WWII.
True Story.
Up here in Alaska many a pilot that had a torn fabric wing would just grab a piece of wet canvas and slap it over the damaged area in the wintertime, stayed on like glue.
Every time I see an F-22 I see an aircraft that is just one step away from being able to take off from land and ascend into orbit on its own power, a space capable attack aircraft.
Actually, it was developed to be a waterproof seal for ammo cases and the military later found it could be used in any number of applications, such as mechanical repairs to vehicles and other equipment.
