This thread is turning into a primary school debating society. For some reason we suddenly have a **** load of somewhat juvenile and, frankly, irrelevant posts about disjointed issues. We're currently on page 320 of this thread and all of a sudden we're seeing stuff we discussed at length months or years ago.
If we're still talking about the Green Flag "report" then just relax. None of us here have the faintest idea of the scenarios, ROE, orbats, missions, etc, etc. Of course it was a carefully scripted excercise, we've all been there.
Previous F-16 vs F-35 "engagements have no bearing on this. Nor have turn rate issues, SA, "dog fighting", the "helmet" or F-15s vs Typhoons. Polarised as this thread has become, normally the debate is fairly reasoned on both sides. Now it's just becoming bolleaux.
Just a short rant. Excuse me.
