    F-18E Shoots down Sytrian SU-22

    Has no one mentioned this yet? Well looks like they've done some homework on who got the credit.

    Go War Party!

    Just goes to show that even the best missiles in the world aren't silver bullets, hard to believe a 9X missed from a half mile.....but maybe that'll establish a new Rmin lol

    If any of that is true, and I'm not saying whether it is or isn't, the people who are talking about it need to STFU.

    It's like having a clearance these days is nothing more than an excuse to run your mouth to reporters

    For fuck's sake...

    What bit is so sensitive, the fact that an AIM-9X managed to miss an old generation airplane when launched at 0.6NM?


    A mission’s execution often reflects the quality, discipline, and tone set in the briefing. - Chris “Kimos” Haave

    The entire bit of the article should never been written, the source should have never opened their mouth.
