    Frankly, maybe it's the food. All Russian food sucks,

    They do have a nice selection of quality Vodkas though. And nothing beats a bowl of Borsht, followed by Beef Stroganoff or Chicken Kiev and who would say no to a few scoops of caviar on a frosty winters morning, with a few shots of vodka to complement. There is Shashlik (Russian take on Kebab), and Solyanka soup, almost as good as Bloody Mary to cure hangovers. But apart from that, not much of tasty Russian cuisine.

     

    I suppose over a hundred years of communistic rule, eating mostly potatoes didn't contribute much to culinary development.

    Ask the guys that fly them and the guys that work on them. 
    The F22 is a better fighter all the way around.

     

     

     

    No, its not.
    The  F35 program has been in trouble from day one, with any luck it will be phased out soon.
    Jobs are a nothing burger, they'll still be working.

    I will tend to agree with you.

    F-35 is a piece of Sh*t, but F-22 is much better aircraft and in the top 10 IMO.

    Clever Thailand going for the Swedish Gripen.

    Thailand had 12 Gripens since 2011, well, 11 now since one splashed a few years ago, based in Surat Thani.

    Excellent choice for a country like Thailand.

     

    Such a beautiful aircraft! Russia, beware!

    Didn't Sweden just sell a bunch of fighters to Thailand? We all know that once something gets into Thailand, it also goes straight to China. That's why the US refused to give Thailand F35s and only wanted to allow them to have relatively safely controlled avionics in updated F16s. China will end up with all the information on vulnerabilities of Swedish jets before most of the European customers ever get delivery.

    Yeah, but Chinese already have all the secrets of the F-35 and F-22. Just look at their stealth fighters. Chenese J-20 looks just like the American F-22.

    All those guest Chinese engineers working for Boeing and L-M just took all the secret papers and went home.

    China already says they have tech to detect F-35. Just billions of USD lost for useless research...

     

    As soon as new stealth tech is developed, a new way to detect it will be found. Never ending story.
