    Lame


    Those pictures are the same as those artist renditions of the F-117 in the 90s from before they revealed the Wobbly Goblin.


    Tom Clancy even had a plane looking like that in his US-Soviet WWIII novel Red Strom Rising


    Looks like Ivan is about 20yrs behind the times

    @Bress Tess Iz: Yep, this looks almost exactly like the Testor's model of the "F-19 Stealth Fighter:"

    I was wondering if anyone else would mention that.

    @OMG! Ponies!: DAMN YOU. Now I have to watch Transmorphers and Transmorphers 2:Fall of Man to erase the negative feelings I held against an SR-71.

    Reminds me of the plane from the 80's movie about a Russkie secret fighter starring Clint Eastwood, Firefox.


    Anyhow, it's not just about the equipment but also who's operating it. U.S. fighter pilots are trained way better than their Russkie counterparts.

    @Noobs-R-Us: You know that movie is a semi-true story?


    Its highly glamorized and dramatized to the point little is based on fact, but the Firefox is actually based on the real Mig-25 Foxfire, which scared the bejesus out of the west when we first started seeing it show up because of how fast it was as a interceptor, capable of actually intercepting the SR-71.


    Firefox the movie is a fictional retelling of how the US finally got to see one up close, when a pilot defected to Japan.

    @Noobs-R-Us: Whenever I upgrade Firefox, I expect to see a grizzled Clint Eastwood's face pop up on my browser, and speak bad Russian.

    @Jim Topoleski: The MiG-25 was developed, at hideous expense and effort, to counter the American XB-70.


    We never seriously intended to build the XB-70, it was primarily for research and concept validation, but as soon as we saw the Soviets were in a lather about it, the supposedly "ultra secret" project was leaked just enough to ensure they wasted tons of rubles on defending against it.

    @four12: Yes we did. The XB-70 was a prototype for an intended fully-operational bomber. There was nothing ultra-secret about it.


    The internet, as always, is your friend.

    Almost looks like someone saw the movie Stealth, as wasn't distracted by Jessica Biel.

    But how can the Ruskies afford to build any of these? We can barely afford ours!

    @Serolf Divad: *puts hands to temple*


    I see a massive oil shortage. Pipelines inexplicably encountering significant maintenance downtime. Unusual weather reported, leading to unexpected downtime in drilling schedules. And then just a string of figures...$4.50...$4.75...$5.85.
