Deployed even though they aren't fully tested.

The F-22 has not yet seen combat. The jets were not used in Iraq, Afghanistan or Libya. They are stealth, and they specialize in air-to-air combat, but can also strike air-to-ground if needed. As one Air Force official put it, "this is America's premier fighter jet. It has no rival."

The next round for Iran nuclear negotiations, which many consider to be the country's last diplomatic opportunity, takes place on May 23 in Baghdad.

Lets hope all the bais.....is on the mark. I believe I had put up about the Mig 35,37, and 47.

I read somewhere that Israel has taken the stance that Iran is not developing nukes.

Now this. There is more to the story that we don't know.

Yeah but Netanhyahu still came out saying he doesn't think that Iran will stop moving to enrich.

Did you see the Vids up in the Military section I had on the Russian Migs. Did ya know the Russians challanged us with their Mig 35. We declined. Plus their Mif 47 is the one that can break the atmosphere and drop in from Space.

Wait - dogfight challenge?

From what I was reading, the 35 is commercially available, we can buy them.

[MMC]

Yep.....Dogfight, mock battle laser targeting. When we had the Exercises over around Korea. As then the Russians and the Chinese held theirs. Thats when the Russkies offered the Pepsi challenge and we putzed out.

[MMC]

Well India certianly is buying them from the Russians.....but I don't think they will be used for commercial purposes. :grin:
