Typhoon A2A kill
Well a drone anyway with an ASRAAM. As long as there is a drone kill mark on a frame I'm happy....

‘As long as there is a drone kill mark on a frame I'm happy....’ - well, as they festoon themselves with badges for a bit of formation flying with a Russian jet, I can barely conceive of the corporate joy and collective back slapping shooting down something other than a Jindi or a Jag will cause. DFCs and special Xmas video from CAS and CASWO inbound no doubt….

Not the first time a Typhoon has allegedly killed a drone
https://www.bbc.co.uk/history/ww2peo...a1993142.shtml No missiles used either! |
No shot sheer lock... eh?

Is this not the first RAF air-to-air kill since WW2*?
(* Other than RAF Phantom Vs Jag etc) |

It's a bit like clubbing a baby seal...

As somebody above said, Mogwi may have a thought about that.

Please Lord, don't let the pilot be from the FAA otherwise the 'bearded one' will never let us forget it.

Last confirmed RAF kill on an airborne manned aircraft in combat was in 1948. Egyptian Spitfire if memory serves. The alleged C-130 kill in the Confrontation was by a Javelin, unless your thinking of the C-130 stolen from Mildenhall in the late 1960's.

or when last did an RN surface ship sink an enemy ship? I think all three services have accomplished more than the popular images, cavalry charges, ship sinkings or air-to-air kills. When did the RAF last conduct an airborne bombing attack?, a maritime patrol, an airborne evacuation or an airborne re-supply? Much more to air operations than shooting down fighters. Lets get off that hobby horse shall we? The ability to deter is better than the ability to kill. |
