Was looking at pictures of the ongoing Red Flag Alaska and noticed this USAF F-16 in a paint scheme I've never seen before. Anyone know what unit it is or, if its an aggressor squadron f-16, what countries air force paint design its mimicking?
Whatever it is
Its pure sex
>>34728902
China if I were to guess
>>34728932
that explains it.
GOAT aggressor scheme.
Holy fuck
>>34728902
It's the Razgriz
>>34728902
>>34728932
How does a Falcon stand in for a Su-30?
Lol Americans are behind the times.
Russian planes are inferior to Chinese planes. Americans should paint aggressor planes with Chinese liveries instead. As an honor and respect to Chinese Research and Development that has indigenously melded the best of both Russian and American into one plane, Chinese.
>>34729132
Its so you can tell the 'teams' apart during training. The USAF and USN often paint their aggressor squadron planes to mimic the scheme of potential adversaries. The aggressor squadrons also have dedicated pilots who train in the tactics of other countries to make it more realistic.
also, some canadian airforce F-18s are taking part this cycle, i think they are the only international planes taking part right now but i could be wrong.
All that sukhoi
>>34728902
Ah, I know who it's imitating.
>>34729178
>Russian planes are inferior to Chinese planes

NINJA BEAM!
It's a homage.

Who dis? I'm no animefag, but she gets me feelin kinda funny..
>>34731168
looks like holo from spice and wolf
>>34729185
why is that plane upside down? it might crash, it seems super low to be flying upside down

ay chinks
it's pretty cute what you've been attempting here lately
thing is, as "bad" as the russians are, it's still america and russia at the top
your reverse-engineered chinkshit garbage belongs in the dump
at least the russians go through the trouble of spying and letting their scientists work with what the papers they acquired, instead of BUYING, DISASSEMLBING, AND RE-BUILDING the same fucking shit but worse
>>34731630
>your reverse-engineered chinkshit garbage belongs in the dump
Hehe
China saw that American F-35 and said I can build better, and the J-31 was born. A two engine superior multi role super fighter that has no analog anywhere in the world. Americans saying Chinese technology is second class while using Chinese made iPhones and Chinese made Lenovo computers are clearly hypocritical and cannot accept reality.
>>34731794
>J-31 better than F-35
>>34729956
all that nostalgia
>>34731794
>no analog anywhere in the world
Sure, they could also commission a motorized turd and it'd have no analog. Just because it's special doesn't mean it's good.
And with chink QC and engines, this isn't far off from being a motorized turd.
>>34730999
>>34729956
HHHHNNNNNNNNNNGGGGG
I can't take this much nostalgia
>>34731794
>no analog anywhere in the world
Of course, the J31 is unparalleled in how atrocious it is.
>>34731794
iPhones and Lenovo computers are designed in the USA. Use US made operating systems and US designed silicon. China is incapable of designing competitive CPUs or operating systems.
China is literally slave labor for the west.
Also, the J-31 is dog shit.
>>34732211
Well, the J-31 is objectively better.
Faster, better climb rate, superior engines and less radar signature.
And is much cheaper.
>>34731168
Spice and Wolf lad.
>>34733293
Well then, let's see them non-estimate specs.
We all got burned by the j-20, that turned out to be a pile of shit.
>>34729132
Like any single engine shitbag to a proper twin engine fighter.
>>34733293
>superior engines and less radar signature.
>>34733293
lololol with RD-33s. This is so fucking stupid.
>>34729185
Man our F-18s are looking tired.
>>34733460
The are but no one wants to pay for replacements. The super hornet is the better option based on price alone, but the F35 has better range and capabilities that we actually need.
>>34733293
>superior engines
>J-31 flies on RD fucking 33
I am vatnik and what is this comedy gold?
>>34733293
Here's your (you), wankstain.
>>34733477
The US Navy just approved upgrading their superhornets to the Block 3 standard. Those will have conformal fuel tanks (so much longer range) and some added sensors. Might make for a good purchase by Canada, but by the time its all said and done it'd probably costs less to just purchase F-35As.
>>34728902
Why are F-16s so goddamn aesthetic
>>34733956
I thought the Navy can only operate F-35Cs off its flattops
>>34728902
black/red is a well known color scheme for exuding power.
In an arena where color is virtually useless for detecting the enemy, artistic licence is granted. This is a squadron commander who wants his pilots to feel badass.
>>34733326
I never could watch that show because a really fucking annoying tripfag wouldn't shut up about it. I'm sure it's good. But I can't watch it for a while now, if ever.
>>34733956
That is one fat bug
>>34734005
F-35Cs are replacing the legacy hornets. The superhornets will stay until the 2030s when they are replaced with the planned 6th gen F/A-XX fighter.

>>34729956
I still have that game
>>34731794
Thinkpads had a drop in quality when Lenovo slapped their name on them.
>>34730978
Muh dick.
These are all great photos.
>>34734167
Yeah, its not a good look for the superhornet but its a big performance boost. in addition to the carrying more fuel it also reduces the drag of the aircraft.
>>34733477
F35 all the way, but we know the man who will fuck it up..
>>34728902
mimicking china 100%
>>34734676
So the Superbug is going to get CFTs before USAF F16s?
>>34731222
The meme is to use their countries currency, and to make the payment as miniscule as possible
So it should be:
>.005 yuan has been deposited to your account
t.poland
>mfw we paint our aircraft like the "bad guys" and they look a hundred times more bad ass.
>>34734128
One day you will recover, I hope.
>>34734388
Mine is gone, along with my N64.
>>34728902
Can someone identify the loadout?
>>34735008
Maybe it's evolved into that, but the original joke as I remember it was that there was some article claiming that China was paying trolls 50¢ per shitpost to trash the US military and promote the PLA.
>>34730999
Best waifu
>>34735559
AIM-120 AMRAAM on wingtip hardpoints. Can't tell what's the other missile though.
>>34735559
AIM 120 training round on the wingtip and on the inner pylon isn't a weapon, its something they use for air combat training. i think it registers 'hits', someone told me its like a really advanced version of laser tag but i'm not sure how it works.
>>34735058
idk man, american planes are objectively better, but slavs do have aesthetics going for them in my opinoin.
At least with the Sukhois
>>34729132
You throw a sack of gravel into the intakes and make the pilot drink a liter of vodka.
>>34728902
Russia. Maybe China. Probably my wet dreams
>>34733211
Actually I'm pretty sure they (iPhones at least) are designed in Germany. Germany for sure makes the components, then ships them to China for assembly.
>>34728902
F-16? It looks like a new MiG, probably the successor to the '80s-era MiG-28.
>>34731794
>J-31 better than F-35
thats not saying much
>>34729956
Fun fact: These were supposed to be Israel (who has a famous air force, unlike ROK) but so the game could be sold in muslim countries Westwood changed it to South Korea at the last minute with a paint job and tweaking the VA with autotuner
>>34741419
oy vey! they goyim know!
>>34741419
He's Japanese though, isn't he? And I think one of the jets you can unlock is the Kfir.
Whatever you say about the slavs
THey have the best paint schemes
>>34731168

Also don't, once you step into the /a/ there is no coming back. Not like I regret it tho
