Your Government won't allow you to get involved with Syria, so you go after Turkey instead!?!

Would be interesting to know what each of the aircraft types were carrying, missile-wise.....both have the capability of carrying the latest technology.

Its funny they are unaware of each other flights, in that they don't communicate to each other what their flight plans are?

Well they are both NATO so IFF and their radar would have gone nuts the systems know the radar signatures of various aircraft as well as the signature that each planes radar system emits.The Typhoon is quite a bit more capable than the F-16(though the Turks have some of the best Vipers in the world as well as good pilots) as well being arguably the most capable interceptor in the world.Of course they did not actually encounter each other I think reading the article it was a stretch to call it a near clash the Turks where seeking a bogey not a tango.They would have checked the airspace and evaluated the situation and then acted accordingly.Had they have done all that and nearly engaged I would agree with the title of the article. Had the Typhoons still have been in the area the turks would have figured out pretty quickly what they where encountering. Last edited by Stealhead; 09-05-13 at 03:59 PM. |

Well the Russians are rotating in a larger force than what is being rotated out of the med now inter NATO jet skirmishes.
Yea I hope this isn't spiraling towards a Fred Thompson level situation. ![]() |

This is Richard Valeriani for CNN, reporting from the French aircraft carrier Foch, somewhere in the Mediterranean.

I wonder if they where thinking of Looking Glass the airborne NORAD command and control planes.
Yes they where I just looked it up on youtube at 1 hour 27 minutes it is a very long short film. You should take a look at First Strike the sequences showing the Air Force and Navy members are real well not really real but the people where not actors they where missilers,pilots and submariners.For example the B-52 pilots have on their line badges which allow you to be on a bases flight line and not have an M-16 in your grill Hollywood would never get that detail. Kind interesting the US was really worried about the SS-18 back then and the fear that it would allow a devastating first strike.The demo bit is pretty neat but the majority where they talk to experts is fairly interesting as well. They used some sequences of this film in The Day After. |

I'm sorry. I don't care how good British pilots may think they are, there is no way a Typhoon
