Since you don't seem to want help, why did you post this here? The thread is made to critique your stuff, and if you don't want that then it simply doesn't make sense for you to put that list there.

Because this is an open thread where anyone can post their aerial forces.

Since this a new thread I have to ask a question

Will a modernized MiG-23 MLD be able to take on Export model of a MiG-29 in combat ?

[Yakzistan]

Thanks for the insight of a modernized MiG-23 MLD going against a export version of the MiG-29, New Vihenia.

Anyways, I plan to use the MiG-23s as second line of defense behind of the MiG-29M and Su-30M which are the front line of defense.

[Yakzistan]

What should I do with my MiG-23s in my air force ?

Should I just sell them and buy more new aircaft, which I already have like the MiG-29,Su-27 and Su-30.

I was planning to replace them with some JF-17s, it that a good idea ?

Depending on what model of MiG-23s they are, you could keep them in service along with your other aircraft or you could sell them to third world nation. Belorus sold its MiG-23s to the Sudan if I recall correctly

I would personally aim to acquire more Su-30s given that its a vastly superior aircraft compared to the MiG-29, Su-27 and JF-17 (the latter being a single engine light fighter more suitable for poor nations, and seeing as you operate Su-30s you're obviously not poor)

It all depends on what sort of threats you face

Thanks, The MiG-23s first arrived in my nation in 1978, so I guess I could keep using them and give some of them to reserve units later on and buy new aircraft.

[Yakzistan]

Opinions on having the E-2 Hawkeye as an AWACS aircraft?

[Yakzistan]

Thoughts on having the L-39ZA as COIN/poor man's tank killer?

We have the liscene to produce them and we're retiring the A-37 Dragonfly.

Any opinions about this

[Yodle]

Nonexistent, aside from transport aircraft such as cargo planes or helicopters.

[Yugo-Austria]

Perhaps this is the wrong place to put this, but I have a question. I already know it's immoral and inhumane to do it but would it be plausible to remove the lower legs of all pilots to make it easier for them to fly? As in, there is less blood in their body, so while they are doing tricks less blood would flow to their head, right? Is this an idea that could work if put into practice?

The problem is not so much immoral as wouldn't do anything at all.

Blood is going from the heart to the brain, not from the legs. You black out because the force pulling the blood out of your head exceeds the force pushing new blood in. The heart does not start pumping harder because you lose your legs.

I just remember hearing about a pilot who had no legs and he was really good in WW2, so that's why I asked

[Yugoshvanka]

Carrier borne Mig-19, can it be done?

If not can we make it a new spicy meme

[Yuketobaniac]

F-22 is a total pussy magnet.

very much

[Yuketobaniac]

The only recently introduced aircraft that has a better track record in regards to this is the Gripen. Also, as an added bonus, both of the raptor's fatal crashes can be attributed to pilot error.

Stay jelly, bro. :>

Why didn't the 1.38933 BILLION lines of code save the pilots?!?!?!?!?!??!?!

F-22 FAILURE compared to S-47 SUPER FLANKER T-50

You sound like a typical hater always saying that discontinued fighters and testing fighters are better than a battle proven jet

[Yuketobaniac]

When was the F-22 battle proven? Did I miss a war with Russia?

it proven good bombing the living **** out of scumbags in syria

[Yuketobaniac]

Guns are obsolete anyway. :>

say that to the F-4's face in nam

[Yuketobaniac]

say that to the F-4's face in nam

Vietnam was the exception, rather than the rule.

one of the reasons besides the f-4s cockpit vision and manuverability, it needed a gun, even the mig-21 had one for backup

[Yukonastan]

Would this be a good air force list of equipment, why or why not?

40mm seems a little much, but what ever floats your boat, I guess.
I wouldn't really use the F/A-18 as a primary fighter unless you were in a challenging environment (the Canadian Yukon or Finland's northern most areas) or you don't have access to the nicest runways. I would lean more towards the F-16E, the Typhoon, or the F-35A if you have nicer runways or more moderate climates. For CAS/Ground Attack, I would rather use a helicopter gunship (like the Ka-52s you already have).

40mm 'cause 30mm is sooo 1990's.
F/A18 'cause my nation is in a harsh environment as you describe it. And no, we don't have the nicest runways.
What's the main reason that you suggested the joint strike failure as a frontline fighter? The thing's slow, overweight, half-blind, and can't carry any significant weight for any significant time or range. And I blame the USMC for having made it that way.

[Yukonastan]

So justify the weight that a 40mm cannon has compared to its 30mm variants.

More hitting power. More damage per shell. More useful submunitions. Lower rate of fire to compensate for reduced ammo capacity, and if skeletonized not too much heavier than the 30mm cannon.

You can use newer types of 30mm ammunition instead of using a big gun that fires really slow and weights more than most 30mm cannons.

I hope you don't try to use this for CAS.

Why not? Why not take an upengined 'Hawg and fit a larger cannon on it?
