Hooyah Navy!

The strike was believed to be the U.S. military's first air-to-air kill involving manned aircraft in nearly two decades. The last known such instance was when a U.S. Air Force F-16 Fighting Falcon shot down a Serbian MiG-29 in 1999 during the Kosovo campaign.
quote:
"A Syrian regime SU-22 dropped bombs near SDF fighters south of Tabqah and, in accordance with rules of engagement and in collective self-defense of Coalition partnered forces, was immediately shot down by a U.S. F/A-18E Super Hornet," the command said in a release.
Hooyah Navy!

Just heard on the radio that Russia has now said they will treat all US planes as targets. Hopefully that's just more of a threat. I'd hate to see WW3 start over a shithole like Syria.

I don't think that is a game they are willing to play.

Correct. There fighters are no match for ours and they know it. They have to come out and say shite like that to save face but they know they will just lose pilots lives and millions in aircraft should they be foolish enough to target us.

We don't need to worry about Russian fighters. What we have to worr about is their SAMs. They are legit, supersonic telephone poles!

You mean the news that twists shite for their own agenda?

SU 22s were built in the 60-70s. They are dog shite fighters but able to carry a good bit of ordinance so useful in close air support.
This is a very tense situation and we should all hope the Russians don't escalate things and try to take out one of our planes with a SAM

Those would be dealt with as well. The Russians are just blowing smoke.

They want no part of the Raptor. We know it. They know it.
