USAF Announces New Contracted Adversary Units

[AllAmerican75]

This article came up in my news feed and figured y'all would get a kick out of it. The USAF is buying a whole bunch of adversary hours to the tune of roughly $430 million. If any of you guys have a MiG 21, you might be able to get in on the action as this is just the initial round of contracts.

If any of you guys have a MiG 21

Duuuuude, there is so much better stuff out there these days...

There's the basic MiG-28, the improved MiG-28F, the MiG-28P, MiG-28PF, MiG-28PFM, MiG-28R, the two seat trainer MiG-28U, the ultimate development MiG-28bis, the MiG-28-2000 (remanufactured by the Israelis), the Chengdu-8 (Chinese ripoff)...


(There's also a reddit thread debating what the reporting word for the MiG-28 would have been.)

Do you have a link? I'm really curious what they went with.

I don't know if the reddoids came up with a final answer, it was just something funny that came up in google:

What amuses me about defense Reddit is that there's a /r/CredibleDefence (LOL), an /r/LessCredibleDefense, and even an /r/WarCollege (SPOILER ALERT . . . graduation from or attendance at a War College not required). Seems to be an awful lot of alleged credibility tiers for what is essentially the equivalent of a bunch of virgins sitting around talking about sex.

And let's call /r/navy for what it is: /r/DisgruntledJuniorEnlistedSailors. If you're above the rank of E-5, you're part of the problem according to their hivemind. Don't get me wrong, being able to read unfiltered opinions from the <E-5 point of view is to some extent a good thing for keeping one's bearings as an officer, but beyond that, ye gads . . .

At least noncredibledefence subreddit has sort of funny memes once in a while.
