GrahamEM Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 I wonder if it's real, looks good with the moon above them in the distance. it dont looked photoshopped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nev Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Why would you think its photoshopped? Ruskies have been probing more and more lately, and Alaska is only 5 minutes down the road from Russia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upnorth Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Good way for the Russians to get a close look at the Raptor. Instant Raptor, just add Bear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan P Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 (edited) Alaska is only 5 minutes down the road from Russia. Actually Nev, Alaska is 23 hours away from the Kamchatka peninsula as they are on opposite sides of the International Date Line.

JakeEaton Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Still weird just seeing and knowing that Raptors are operational now...I still think they look like something from the future! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil @ Flory Models Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 It's real alright.Mike V So Mike, is the Raptor's radar cross section buggered with the wing tanks or is it just just as stealthy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Drewe Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 So Mike, is the Raptor's radar cross section buggered with the wing tanks or is it just just as stealthy? Completely buggered. Which, if you think about it, is probably why it was carrying them. After all, why advertise just HOW stealthy your shiny new stealth fighter is when you don't need to? The Raptors weren't trying to sneak up on anybody! Strap some gas bags to it, let it do the job, and the Russians can't obtain any worthwhile readings from the intercept.

Phil @ Flory Models Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 That is what I was thinking. Now lets see the new stealthy Flanker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
