Finally an air-to-air kill for the MiG-29.


You're forgetting the two Cessnas shot down by Cuban Fulcrums in 1996.

I thought it might have been CG for a moment, but when you look closely you can see the smoke from the missile is disturbed by the passing aircraft in a way in which I've never seen in a sim before.


Looks like whatever one of the F-14s does to the contrail for a brief second during Top Gun.

so let me get this straight....Russia still has force in Georgia (LOL)


Yes, and I don't know anyone who disputes it. More recently....

I'm the one, for example. There are no Russian forces in Georgia. The last peacekeeper left the country in November 2007, now the peacekeeping forces are only at the border conflict zones in Abkhazia and South Osetia. If you think they are pure Georgian soil, then you're having a hard time dealing with the facts. Peacekeepers will be there until locals learn living in peace and not cutting each other's throats.

I've a hard time beliving this. All the information I can find says that only in 2003 did the Air Force actually test Stingers on the Predator, and it never went operational (yet). Friend of mine, Jane's Defence Journalist, was in Nellis last year where they presented both Reaper and Predator, no sign of Air/Air cababilities either.
