Yeah I'm pretty sure that's been proven about a million times that the USAF beats the RAF hands down. I'm not saying the RAF is bad though, it's 2nd.

But go ahead, be a e-fag and claim BS God Ted.

pilot v pilot equal hardware, i'm pretty confident the RAF would walk all over the USAF. our problem is the government hates spending on the military v0v

Being as objective as possible, I doubt it.

Our pilots get more flying time and training time than yours do, on average => better pilots.

Plus...we get a lot more combat time...

Our boys get plenty of combat time

but i digress. every servicemen i've spoken to (a lot, my mothers side were practically all in the military, and i was in the cadets for years (your version of the JROTC i think) says pound for pound british service men air/army/navy are better trained. we have such a small standing army per capita, but what we have is trained to the maximum.

shame our recent leadership seems intent to strip all arms of any force projection, technology and size.

@Teds

Your airforce's training program had a lot of help from our airforce, otherwise you would of had an even shittier training program. And don't give me that your army/marines/navy have better training than we do bullshit. Just because you're a Brit doesn't mean you're special, I know I ain't special

our training programme for pilots has been going rather well by itself since 1918 tyvm...and ask usm what he thought of the squaddies he met on service.

Close enough to be a brit. And I'm talking about your modern day airforce, we helped ya a bit in the '90-91 gulf war as far as airforce training goes just to keep ya up to date. Overall we all try to help eachother out as we're allies

ofc, BFF's and all that. also no, i'm not 'close enough to be a brit' but that's another discussion. if you want to know about how the RAFs been doing in modern day (lets ignore BoB) go read up on what the typhoons did during ODS.

I would agree that your ground troops probably get more training (particularly basic/advanced training time) than ours do. However, USAF (and probably USN and USMC aviators) get more flight hours per capita than any other in the world. Add in the simulators (which I'm sure the RAF has, as well), and it makes for a pretty heady mix.

Not a superiority thing...it just is. An investment that we make. It's actually far more expensive than more equipment.

Well our Army ain't so much and the training I hear is getting easier. Marines however are a different story. Still will join the army though

The Marines dropped their standards for Vietnam, but they're back up again. I'm just quite surprised about the minimum physical test you need to take to enter. Something about 2 drop-down pull ups, 45 sit-ups in 2 minutes and 1.5 mile run in 13:30. Seriously who the hell can't do that?

Look mah, it can shoot out of its front, back and arse as well!

But, it couldn't shoot out of its belly, making it an easy target for any fighter coming up under it.

i.e. gliding 10m forward by losing 1m of altitude

So is that a good ratio or not? Seems like a quick fall.


If you're at 11'000m you can go 1100m that's not much at all.

Hehe, that sounds like the glide ratio of a....er.....brick with wings.
