You don't get the idea. Phantom requires concrete runway while mig can operate from dirt runways, having concrete runways at his home airfield though. This tactic is called "usage of jump runway" in russian, dunno how it is translated properly in english. The idea is to refuel near frontline and join the battle while having superiority duration of flight due to full fuel tanks compared to large and heavy aircraft that can't land/take off from dirt runways and have to fly a few hundred/thousand kilomethers from their main airfield without any refuel close to frontline. That way, aircraft with theoretically smaller operating radius recieve advantage over their more heavy opponents even taking into account their theoretically longer duration of flight.pace51 wrote:
Yes, but they have to return early, anyways. So, wait, chase, smash.
p/s I'm not taking airtankers into account as they were not used that much for refueling jet fighters during Mig-21 vs Phantom II era.

Ohhh. You're right. My mistake. So that would "balance" the combat between migs and phatoms, so to speak.Longbow wrote:

The US made some very extensive use of tankers in Vietnam. Some of them even managed to "tow" aircraft back to safe landing areas.
In Korea one F86 pilot pushed his wingman, whose fuel tanks were hit were damaged, but unfortunately the guy drowned, tangled in his parachute harness. The f-86 pilot had to dead stick at his airfield.RAIMIUS wrote:

In Vietnam, one f-4 pushed another (canopy/tail-hook.) Both planes were lost but both crews were rescued.
The US economy is a giant Ponzi scheme. And 'to big to fail' is code speak for 'niahnahniahniahnah 99 percenters'
I've heard the Vietnam one. Hadn't heard the Korea one. Interesting.Stubbee wrote:

KC-135s occassionally towed BADLY damaged F-4s and F-105s on the boom.
So lets see some proof of all your claims guys.
