hairystick Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 If it's a victory, mark it up! I'd like to have seen the MiG29 kill marking on the U2 aircraft though.🤛 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hockeyboy76 Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 It’s good to see the most advanced fighter in the world used to shoot down one of the least advanced flying machines ever produced. 😱🤣 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMK Posted February 5, 2023 Author Share Posted February 5, 2023 Highest altitude, operational air to air kill in history, which is notable. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troffa Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 58 minutes ago, GMK said: Highest altitude, operational air to air kill in history, which is notable. 58,000 Feet, or around 11 Miles high, is an incredible altitude for an Air to Air engagement. Not much air up there. Astounding work from the USAF. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noelh Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 (edited) We need a new picture. It's three now plus a balloon. I did a bit of research online and it's likely they are mini airships, originating, guess where? Photos exist. https://www.ibtimes.com/unidentified-high-altitude-airship-spotted-flying-near-south-china-sea-photos-3649678 The lack of information from the US is probably to avoid the diplomatic spat we saw with the balloon. The fact that they haven't even released a reasonable description of the 'object' implies a cover up. Fighter pilots have good eyesight. This is a 'We know what you're doing but we're not going to give you the opportunity to deny it' scenario. All great fun and intriguing.😄 Edited February 12, 2023 by noelh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slater Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 So far, four balloons - four AIM-9X kills. Maybe they should give AMRAAM a shot at these 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meatbox8 Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 Is there an SU-35 somewhere with a Reaper kill mark on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
