Another unusually weak attempt at trolling....

 

 

 

 

Au contraire, mon frere, that was another weak attempt at trolling as usual.  Quite par for dis course, really....

 

 

 

It is like the fanboys on the internet haven't heard about football.

 

 

who also stated the Rafales were simulating AA10 equiped (insert Sov Block Aircraft), that there were other more even engagements,and that this result wasnt representative of the full exercise but gave them some bragging rights. He also stated that the french group had better situational awareness, not sure if that was AWACS or if the tiffys were set up to fail.

 

In other words as stated by many all along it was DACT it was scripted it proves nothing *- and yes if it was the other way around id say the same thing.

 

 

* Proves nothing regarding which is the best  Tiffy/Amraam or Rafale Mica (esp as the Raf/Mica combo was a AA10/sov Combo)

The only thing it does prove is that whatever the Typhoons were doing at the time is not what you want to be doing if the real deal shows up - It may even demonstarte flawed tactics or very inexperienced pilots - but platform superiority no.

 

 

The thing with chery picking French statements and posting them on an english language site is - You never no what limey Bast*rd may have a French girlfriend who is willing to translate a little bit more.

 

And fighter pilots never lie, ever.

 

"So, Frenchie, I heard you got smoked by that F-22!"

 

"Au contraire! I had him in the gunsight, and pulled the trigger.  It's not my fault that the HUD picked that time to go out, non?  Ah, if only I had the gun camera film to show you!"

 

"I think you're lying, Frenchie."

 

"I think your mother smelled of elderberries, Americaine!"

 

I once heard a fighter pilot boast that the North Vietnamese actually never shot down any American aircraft A2A, that it was all Russian advisors.  Of course, the guy was pretty blasted at the time.

So what? The F22 has been gun killed a few times in exercise. Trouble is, everyone who's done the deed has been shot down several times over to get to that point.

It's no big deal - there's a famous shot of an F15 in the sights of a EE Lightning back when the F15 had just been launched. Thirty years later, the F15 is running at 90+ air to air kills with no combat losses. I think the F22 will do better.

Well, that didn't take too long.

 

And another French troll bites the dust!
