So tell me: why does everyone out there not like the Russians?

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

Fine machine. For Sweden the one right tool for the job at hand.

Hopefully..

[Sequoyah101]

They are tiny little things aren’t they?

[rrrod]

LOL..best post for the thread!

Personally, I like the Swedes however... the odds that Russia, or any Russian armed nation will attack them is rather small. To me it sounds like some old grandmothers arguing over which swimsuit was prettier during the 1931 bathing beauty contest.

Nice jets but ignition switch on the floor is tough to get used to.

Russian arrogance far exceeds its real ability. It has an economy not much bigger than Mexico. Anything Russian is not what it seems.

[Alas Babylon!]

Russia's Sukhoi fighters have achieved a kind of legendary status for their ability to out-maneuver US fighter jets in dogfights and pull off dangerous and aggressive stunts in the air...

Huh?

When did we have even ONE dogfight?

They've buzzed us a few times, and aggressively so, but if the balloon goes up they won't be doing THAT anymore.

The ultimate in electronics warfare is if one could make a hostile fall out of the sky by jamming/interference.

To trip up fly by wire.

Because they rejected the globalism and control of Western bankers, and they still hang on to the archaic belief that a nation should be the primary unit. They hate homosexuality, and work against it. And they’ve been rebuilding Orthodox churches that were destroyed in the Soviet era.

[DesertRhino]

That’s a pretty cool Electric System. Can it detect concentrations of moslems in your country?

[BradyLS]

Convenient bogeyman. Like they’ll ever use their Sukhoi-killers on what’s really a threat to the average Swede.

[2111USMC]

It’s just a sales pitch. They’re trying to sell jets to other countries.

[BradyLS]

Do they call it a kick-starter? :-D

[bigdaddy45]

And likely cost a fraction of the F-35

[Trumpisourlastchance]

Sweden is being literally destroyed by barbarians it is importing to rape its women, not by Sukhois, and they are too stupid to realize it.

[Psalm 144]

Presentinggggg... THE KARL XII!

[WASCWatch]

The US Navy EF-18 Growlers fill this role. During the Iraq wars, the USAF insisted that the US Navy EA-6B Prowlers go in first to destroy or fry Iraqi air defense site. The USAF tries to hide; the Navy just dries their asses.

[beethovenfan]

They’re ready to take on the Russians but seem unable to cope with the Muslim savages invading their country.
