Wasn't there a USAF exercise a few years back that had a Global Hawk loaded with 120s doing some significant damage to the red air? Or was I drinking to much again?

Either that or it was a computer exercise.

I'm going to leave you alone, because you're very difficult to have a discussion with. You've made some good points in this thread, but your adversarial demeanor makes the conversation unsatisfying.

Update out today. I couldn't find out if this is anything new or simply a rehash, but all the same, it is interesting.

Still a good looking airplane.

It never ceases to crack me up when a Russian or Chinese design bureau sends out a press release/sales kit about their new product and these aviation nerd blogs promptly shit themselves. "The new (missile/plane/Sub/etc) is flawless and invincible! The designers say so! OH SWEET ZEUS' BUTTHOLE WHAT WILL WE DO?!"

- There are a lot of very smart people on both sides developing and fielding new technology all the time.
- Occasionally, just occasionally, mind, manufacturers talk up their product to boost sales, particularly in regards to their product's performance versus the competition.
