Top 14 Fighters

14. The JAS.39 Gripen. This is a small single-seat fighter using the American F404 turbofan engine. This aircraft is capable of numerous missions (point-defense interceptor, ground attack fighter, and even anti-shipping). It is highly maneuverable, and is a worthy successor to the Draken and Viggen interceptors that Sweden has built. This is what the 1980s F-20 Tigershark (an early competitor of the F-16 and F-18) could have been, had it not been stillborn.

13. F/A-18E/F Super Hornet. This is the ultimate Hornet, without the range limitations of the F/A-18A/B/C/D, and with two extra weapons pylons. This fighter is based on a proven design, and has even been used as a tanker with the premature retirement of the S-3 Viking. Sheer versatility – and improvement from the original make the Super Hornet’s place on this list a secure one.

12. F-15C Eagle. This is perhaps one of the last of the single-purpose aircraft. This plane has done one thing for 30 years (air-to-air combat), and done it well (over 100 kills to no losses). However, what is remarkable is the almost-untapped potential the airframe has as a ground-attack platform. The F-15E Strike Eagle has become a superb multi-role fighter. However, the F-15 has gotten long in the tooth for air superiority.

11. Chengdu J-10 - This Chinese fighter is almost as good as teh F-16C Fighting Falcon. Carries the almost same payload (within 300 pounds) of the F-16. Same speeds at altitude and sea level as F-16.

10. F-16C Fighting Falcon. This is a bird that has become a classic. Widely exported, and it has amassed a solid record. Still being built to special order for export customers, it not only has scored air-to-air kills in service with the United States, Israel, and Pakistan, but it is also one of the most numerous modern fighters in service today.

9. Su-27 Flanker. This was built to counter the F-15, and it has become one of the more feared aircraft out of Russia. Highly maneuverable, it is equipped and designed for a dogfight, it has been exported. The wide export market for this plane and its variants (the Su-30 in particular) is the primary reason for the F-22.

8. F-14D Tomcat. This is a plane that had aged like fine wine. Originally designed to face the Tu-22M3 Backfire bomber in protection of American carriers, it has become a carrier-launched version of the F-15E. Capable of long-range attacks using the AIM-54 Phoenix, the F-14 proved it was capable of dogfighting in two incidents with Libya (the U.S. Navy fighters scored four kills for no losses). This is a plane retiring before its time.

7. Eurofighter Typhoon. A low-observable multi-role fighter. It is fast, maneuverable, and carries a lot of air-to-air missiles. It also can be used for attack missions as well. This is a fighter that will be the backbone of at least four air forces (the UK, Spain, Germany, and Italy).

6. Dassault Rafale. Another European multi-role fighter with some stealth built in, this aircraft not only carries out the air-to-air and attack missions, it also comes in a naval version. Its first export order was recently signed – to Saudi Arabia. Equipped with French air-to-air missiles, it edges out the Eurofighter since its naval version could interest other countries who have carriers (Brazil and India come to mind).

5. F-35. This plane will be the new F-16 in ten years. Not only is this replacing the F-16, the A-10, the AV-8B, and some F/A-18s in U.S. service, but it will replace aircraft in other countries as well. Like the F-16, it will be produced in numbers. When it enters service, it will outclass many aircraft. Comes with HELLADS AAM system. Flies vertically like Harrier IIs.

4. Chengdu Super-10 : A stealth, 5th-generation fighter developed from the J-10B featuring a more powerful engine, thrust-vector control, stronger airframe and passive phased-array radar, and much more, according to Russian sources. It is also reported to be having carrier-born capabilities.

3. Sukhoi PAK FA - The PAK FA was designed to compete with the F-22 Raptor and the F-35 Lightning II, the world's first fifth-generation fighter jets. Due to it having the same take-off weight as Raptors; it is basically a clone. It doesn't have supercruise, but it does have afterburner.


2. F-22 Raptor. This is the F-15C’s replacement. Entering service in 2005, it renders every other air-superiority aircraft obsolete. This is a plane that can not only outfly any other plane in the world, outrun any other plane in the world, and it can do so while remaining virtually unseen. The F-22 is a true heir to the F-15, and could do so in another fashion if Lockheed’s FB-22 proposal takes off. Comes with HELLADS AAM system. This F-22 Raptor gets #2, because it has supercruise technology; otherwise it would get #3 and PAK-FA would get #2

1. Northrop Grumman Switchblade - Evolution of the X-29; featured in Popular Mechanics magazine two years ago, this is variable switchable aircraft does exist in blueprints and dates 1999. It has three modes Long wingspan increases lift, enabling slower flight speeds for precision bombing and landing on short runways. Forward sweep provides a good balance of lift and drag; efficient airflow over the wings and control surfaces enhances the fighter's maneuverability for air-to-air combat. Low aspect ratio provides the least drag, enabling the aircraft to speed up to Mach 3. In this configuration the trailing edge becomes the leading edge, a section of the wing root becomes the new trailing edge. Comes with HELLADS AAM system.

Land version

Detroit is Fred Flintstone

This is so funny. The only way I want them to do loan is if they license BMW, Lamborghini, Ferrari, and AUDI car frames and blueprints and duplicate them via mass manufacturing. I can relate to this, because The Flintstones were a awesome 1990s cartoon on Cartoon Network.


Too bad we couldn't bankrupt them, because they're attached to 1000s of other supply businesses so that would conclude to 1000s supply companies bankrupted with millions of jobs lost. Republicans could emulate democrat loan BTW so that capitalism may survive in 2012 Election. Too bad the loan was the only way to achieve better stock market success. Political party wouldn't matter in this situation.



Barack Obama cheated! Hurricane Gustav wreaked everything.

1991 Lucas Arts Protection is evil!

To whom it concerns,

I figured out how to bypass the LAME-O protection, but there isn't a makefile file in the directory. Yes, I downloaded the ScrummVM emu so I can do Secret of Monkey's Island and Monkey Island LeChuck's Revenge. Got them games off Rapidshare.



It is possible to get past the copy protection. You'll need to compile it yourself, get the tools at http://cygwin.com/ and http://www.libsdl.org/ . Get the source code at http://scummvm.sf.net/daily/ .

Edit the makefile, and in the DEFINES section, add -DBYPASS_COPY_PROT . Works like a charm.

I wish I had a makefile! If Chris Langan can't break into it, how can I? Oh yeah, he'd just buy the real copy.

EDIT: 12:05. I beat you Chris! I just download the Amiga ROM and use WinAUE! I win.

Edit: Dec 25 - combo could be 00 & 00.

Forget Hydrogen Power Plants. We're perfecting Magnetoplasma Power Plants by 2011!

The USA is going to be the first country to build Magnetoplasma power plants.

It's better than Nuclear FUSION from what it says in the article.

Don't give into the Intel i7 Core Hype.

Be smart and wait until the 8-core Sandy Bridge core for Xmas 2009. Thinking I'll get a Sandy Bridge CPU and than a single Radeon HD 5870 X2 compatible with DirectX 11.

I truly believe Intel i7 Core is the equivalent of a Geforce 9800 GX2. Less then 3 months later the Geforce GTX 280 OC was revealed. Intel i7 CPUs will only do slightly better performance boost.

Want Change? Bralizan Democrats are conservative

Brazilian democrats are politically conservative and anti-socialist. Weird huh. I would be conservative too if the PT was in power.

Democrats here are the complete opposite. I guess we all knew that part.

Say the Republicans should be Australian liberal party than we can be "conservative"! Get it...liberal-conservative.

Closing Gitmo is an insane PR stunt, people!

Yep, you heard me right, it houses the most lethal serial killers in the world. It's not a gola, because it is what it is. Water boarding is not torcher, because these are the most lethal men in the world (they're all Michael Myers in disguise).

We were there since the Spanish American war, and we stayed and leased the place. It's a POW camp in war time and a dangerous asylum in the peace period. Don't give into the propaganda. US is absolutely right for having a prison in Gimo.

Water boarding is exception when dealing with the most lethal men in the world. The anti-American ACLU and European nations are fucking with us on that one. Don't let them.


(Gitmo prisoners)


Remember, Gitmo is a place to put the most insane, lethal guerrilla tactic mercenaries in the world who oppose the USA. It's supposed to be there. In case you haven't noticed we were a super power, most of the world hates being underneath us; therefore, the insane PR stunt (anti-gitmo)


"People will find that there's quite a few that are very dangerous people and to put them in a position where they can eventually get out on the street and come back and harm one of our citizens would be a very dangerous policy," Mr. Bush told The Washington Times" ~ Bush.

THERE I SAID IT.

Videogames when controlled enhances your mental compacity

Lets disagree with this article for a moment

It is scientific fact that videogames, while as worthless as audio cds or Video dvds in net worth, will enhance your brain in problem solving and quickness. The community of discussing your favorite game with somebody else gives you education of uniteness. It is practically the only way smiley face fascists (aka: liberal fascist) and libertarians may agree which each other though if you talk politics in some countries you're jailed and nobody has as much freedom as we do. Go figure. Which is hwy most Americans don't understand that part and play videogames as it is an indoor activity. Then of course there is the Canadians who close forums just because conservatives are free ourselves biased. So like China, if we speak out, they close it since they can't jail me. It's interesting though the fact of the less free people get more +rep than the free people with the exception of the brainwashed Americans (ie: Canadian wannabes) on that forum. No..it's just the realization that I'm more free than most of those people.

Therefore, you have to be schizophrenic and sound British when you're completely capitalist for those +rep else you're screwed.

http://blogbeebe.blogspot.com/2008/11/opensuse-111-rc-and-kde-41.html

http://blog.taragana.com/index.php/archive/11-prime-features-of-opensuse-111-a-comprehensive-review/

You know I had OpenSuse 11 on my PC and the only problems I had was it had slow USB transfers to thumb drive, it crashed a few times (but always recovered in under 10 seconds) and the last few times, didn't recognize my mouse and keyboard! :(

The 2.6.27.7 kernel has the much needed improved filesystem (UBIFS) optimized for pure flash-based storage devices.











openSUSE 11.1 will roundhouse kick the competition!

I give the OpenSuse 11 Linux a 8.5 out of 10. I only used it like 6 times and one was to backup a locked Windows session. I downloaded a lot of MPEG4 and Games and succeeded.

KDE 3.5.7 and 3.5.9 were so much faster than KDE 4.0.4 too. No latency at all in the 3.5.x series.

I feel old...I have 2.6.27.7 kernel now. I remember using the Redhat 7.1 days of 2.4.18 kernel in 2003 in High School. 'It was my schizophrenic friend'. At least that's what the UNIX guy said. Did I mention I feel old

You know that NASA is running Suse 9.3 Enterprise on their super computer and it's one of the top 5 supercomputers.

Some more reasons to love OpenSuse 11+ over Fedora 7+, because Rasmussen is supporting some ancient version of Linux, Fedora 2 (ie: around when Suse 9 was coming out and the British were winning American Revolutionary War). OpenSuse is still most noob friendly Linux, and that's how I like it. I'm a Microsoft guy in case you can't tell. This distro's KDE 4.1.3 and Gnome 2.24 support MESA video drivers over the inferior NV ones so the shell boots in no time and runs 4x faster once it boots up with OpenGL 2.1 enabled. 3D Linux games are playable for the first time. Fedora 10 still has those low end NV drivers and is said to be slow, because of those NV drivers.





 

Because I can. Can't wait until BTRFS (ReiserFS 5.0) in Fedora 11. Everything is a bit jurky in Fedora 10 and it won't let me change to EXT4 without stalling.

Global Warming is propraganda

I think with Aussie Rules Football becoming the fastest growing sport in the United States, and that all the liberals are bailing out companies every monday, and we have federal healthcare, Obama totally like Australia. Obama has secret Australian Labour Party connections. Too bad we're too liberal to unravel this scandal. Oh, by the way, Sam Webb, chairman of the CPUSA, introduced social democracy!

Kevin Rudd-Barack Obama scandle
Call me paranoid, but "agent of change" sounds familiar.
Call me paranoid, but "agent of change" sounds familiar.
Barrack and Kevin share the same cronies views

The Global Warming is evil propaganda to not build nuclear/hydrogen powerplants in America, and to build nuclear power plants elsewhere. None built since 1970s.



The UN is evil, because they're looking for money to steal from US (AAA first world nation) and these A first world nations hate us for being extremely rich via capitalism and they run the place. They need all that money to fund bizarre global warming funds and President Elect goofball will play into it, because his an elitist figure head of something like THE MAJESTIC 12! BAHAHA. In Metal Gear Solid, they're known as the "Patriots", but was heavily influenced by the Majestic 12. Something about Solid Snake destroying the super computer in MGS2, known as simply GW.

Be my friend, and together we'll take the power away from Democrats and give it to republicans.

2012: The Movie

That Nibiru fly by Earth and stuff is coming out mid-2009 in Theaters. It takes place late 2012 in the Eastern US. Space nukes are probably involved. Armageddon movie storyline updated for 2009 culture.


I'm so proud of myself. I was the first person in this school to do a Nibiru paper. I got a 95% on it too.
