This made me laugh...

They should use an iPhone and use the MAPs app...lol

Well there's plenty of propaganda going around. I find that hard to believe.

 

[rviray]

I do too...but funny none the less. I'm waiting to see if they find a Russian Jet with a rotary dial phone too...

That is stupid - everyone knows you need to use Velcro so you can pull it out to charge it!

We used grease pencils on the plexi-glass windshield of Huey N model gunships for a sighting system for 2.75" rocket pods. Sometimes the low tech wins the day on the battlefield! KISS!

In the 1970's we used Fuzzbusters in some of our fighters. It can take many years to get authority and funding to upgrade a fighter properly. Until then, the aircrews are gonna do whatever they can to stay alive.

Hmmmm. We learned an awful lot in the AF about their capabilities and it was not that lol. Here’s an older fighter but still nothing to sneer at.

30 year old jets are the least of Russia's worries

During the Gulf War, the unit I deployed with from New Ricver NC (Marines…HMM-264 REIN) we had AH-1T’ Hueys…old skool.
