		<description>no doubt Irans current leaders have a sinister desire for aquiring such missles and their payloads, but this will certainly encourage an arms race with their neighbors who are aleady building up their defences. it be good to develope a missle sheild in hte middle east to protect our allies in the region</description>

		<description>The Typhone is a very impressive aircraft but its lacking in adequate stealth characteristics to survive russias S300 anti aircraft system, not that we want to go to war with russia but currently crazy governemnts like Irans plans on purchasing this system from russia. but then i found many articles on Europes stealth UCAV&#039;s being developed and researched, like i think britian, france and germany have their own versions their working on,,, but i want to ask why no european nation currently have any long range strategic bombers like our B52, B1, B2, and currently under research and development B3? Britain previously had hte avero vulcan which could&#039;ve been reupgraded to 21 century standards, yet i read that basically aircraft like the panavia tornado typhoon and all have the capabilities of being used for deep strike nuclear bombing roles if need be. its great having a superp aircraft like the typhoon capable of an air to air and air to ground role but what about if the european natio9ns needed a long range cruise missle platform?</description>

		<description>the russian Su 37 aircraft is impressive but nothing our Frr or F35 can handle, definatly the Frr due to its stealth features and equally good if not superior track and targeting technology. plus the F22 wasnt canceled its just the numbers were reduced to a sad 187, but right now we need strike aircraft for than pure fighters, though the F22 is being upgraded for a light bombing role to assists in this regard, the F35 is more valuable as a strike aircraft. that doent mean we dont need the F22 anymore, but we desperatly need it as an air superiority fighter and future upgrades on both aircrafts will keep them reliable assets for years to come. Some time recently i read that a small lazer weapon defence is being designed for use on the F35 to shoot down incoming missles and research into lazer technology is improving and ideas for on sustem small enough to be mounted into an F35is being planed and possibly onto the F22 also. Its like a lazer system combining solid and liquid lazers, taking the advantages of both and minimizing their drawbacks</description>

		<description>figures cheapscate cheney would kill the opprotunity to field an improved Tomcat F14, but since its retirement, hasnt the new FA18EF superhornets been upraded to also take over its mission? It may not have the same capabilities as the F14 but like just improve its radar to that of the F14 standards or better and give it the capacity to opperate the phoenix air to air missle. But then the Naval version of the F35 is eventually suppose to replace them all.</description>

		<description>a stealth aircraft that can reach its target undetected and fire a low observaby payload from a distance meaning the enemy is struck withought knowing what hit them and unable to quickly track the point of origin and since they cant track the incoming cruise missle they have little time to prepare. how can the general have a weapon system and not even know anything about it? maybe the officer should be promoted to take his place</description>

		<description>19D as well :)  The most important change I&#039;d like to see from the M16/M4 is reliability. No more jamming! A little more stopping power would be nice, but only if accuracy is not compromised. The whole idea is 1 shot, 1 kill! O and some1 said the SCAR-H had an effective range of 800m. Either that was a typo or you are mistaken. No assault rifle has the kind of effective range, or it would be a sniper rifle. The SCAR-H has a 300m  effective range like most assault rifles, maximum 500m I believe w/ high velocity rounds. I agree we should switch to either a 6.5 or 6.8 short stroke. Very similar accuracy and recoil of the M4, more reliable and slight increase to stopping power.....isn&#039;t that what we want?</description>

		<description>I think that the United States and Europe&#039;s tank are too expensive. In fact, our Chinese tank technology is not inferior to you, and inexpensive.
   I think that the Russians have been sold to India&#039;s T90 tanks are vulnerable to destroy.
   I only believe our Chinese T99 tank</description>

		<description>Thanks to the person reponding to my letter.  Im a proud son of a retired Grummanite.  As I said in my last letter Grumman was bought out in a hostile take over buy pure politics.  Most Grummanites will not talk about it (in the past).  What I can say is that Grumman and till even now Grumman has built some if not the best fighters in the world.  No other company can say they single handedly help win WW2 (the pacific) with planes like the wild cat and hell cat nor can any air craft company say they landed a man on the moon.  Grumman was a family and treated the pilots to their air craft as such.  The F-14 as with all former Grumman aircraft were designed simply to kick ass and bring its occupants home safely.  As to man hours I do seceed that you are in fact correct.  These problems were to be addressed in the F-14 D and it was to change its fly by wire system to a more modern system again (cannot mention) but due to the powers that be politics killed a superb air craft,  Dick Cheney would not allow the Grumman version to go back to the carrier/ he would allow the navy to revamp the f-14a/b as a cost cutting measure..</description>

		<description>Hey y&#039;all,
I was in the army, 19D Cav scout.
All of you who say that a 5.56 can&#039;t stop, you haven&#039;t been hit by one. I got shot twice, once in the arm, once in the rib. Bang-Bang. IT STOPS!

My guys managed to take out the guy, but I cant ever use my left arm again. So, 5.56 can&#039;t stop... YES IT CAN! And it hurts like a *!@#$</description>

		<description>First to al asad Marines not soldiers, calling a Marine a soldier is an offense in itself. Second off in a combat situation you dont always have the medical staff on hand to take care of someone with that many holes in them so why not put him out of his misery. Rather than let him bleed out in pain. That and whos to say he still wasnt a threat to those Marines we were not there so who are we to say what is right and wrong. situation always dictates what that decision is. I believe The M16/M4 needs its improvements yes, but the5.56 is suffecient enough to drop a man. plus our armed forces personell are not all famiiar with firearms when the join most have never picked up and fired a weapon as a civilian. So they are not used to firing a weapon with the recoil of a 30/06 or .308 win(7.62x51nato) The 1 and 7 twist was designed to fire both M188 62 grain ball rounds which have an optimum twist rate of1/5 and the tracer which is slower and has an optimum twist of 1/9 so they went right in between to give them similar ballistics. why they switched for better accuracy over damage with the 1/14 twist rate is beyond me. Other than the fact that probably wouldnt be effective at 500 yds for either accuracy nor damage. now the 9mm shouldnt be in service peice of shit round traces along bones such as the skull instead of penetrating, thank God we are going back to the .45 in 2012 with the HK high capacity</description>

		<description>I prefer the G3 as my WOC. It is EXTREMELY accurate, has great stopping power, and can still be used in cq combat. However, for completely urban fights, I&#039;ll take an HK53 any day of the week. Great stopping power, big clip.</description>

		<description>I am benchrest shooter. Accuracy is everything, if these soliders cant hit shit of course a 5.56 is not going to kill the enemy. I killed my bull last year with my Remington 700 .223. It is more than enough to kill a human if you hit them right. Im not in the army, I dont know too much about it, but the way I see it if you cant take your enemy down with one shot go back to the range</description>

		<description>I disagree with mg i think its a great addition to our military&#039;s aresenal because this thing has the power to take down light tanks or scout vehicles or even a large squad of enemies.so screw the m4 or whatever weapon he mentioned give me one of those anyday!</description>

		<description>Al, I have to give you the 14. It was an extraordinary fighter. Even now, there is no aircraft better suited to protect a carrier group. It can identify and engage more targets simultaneously then any other platform, ever. But the decision to retire it, while political, (all military decisions are political, after all the military exist to protect a country’s politics) was a good decision. The 14 had way too big of foot print on a carrier. It also took an average of 40 maintenance hours, for every flight hour to keep the Tom Cat flying.  In comparison the f18 only requires about 15 maintenance hours per flight hour.

This thread however is about the “best fighter jet in the world”, right now that is the f22.  Unless some country is hiding a jet up their sleeve or holding back during testing the 22 beats all competitors in most situations, hands down.</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve enjoyed reading the comments of fellow aircraft enthusiasts.  One factor many of you have left out however.  When desigining is what is the function of that particular aircraft?  I&#039;m not however an engineer, my father was for Grumman Aerospace. I know a great deal about all the aircraft listed here and some about their flaws.  Due to Chinese and Russians constantly looking 4 weakness I cant reveal short comings of air craft but I can say none of you have mentioned the retired Grumman F-14.  It was retired due to politics - purely politics and the fore mentioned air craft did not meet their design goals only the Tom Cat surpassed them - and that is fact!!!</description>

		<description>I do agree with Bob, even after my emotions, It&#039;s steath maybe beatable, it&#039;s missiles and radar may not see too far, it isn&#039;t the most maneuverable, it costs far too much and will exist in only small numbers and it isn&#039;t the best looking but, the F-22 is still the best plane presently out in there. That is the question asked on this site and the F-22 is the answer.

The F-22 maybe the last time the west has lead in fighter design, from now on, it may well be the west who will be copying the east&#039;s designs, as China (worryingly) takes up its position as the worlds new superpower.</description>

		<description>oh yeah and J.T you&#039;ve poisoned your country so badly i don&#039;t think your people will last very long not to mention that because your birth rate is so low and you have a high infanticide rate i doubt you guys will be much of a threat. Not to mention that you cant trust anything the Chinese government says. they only tell you what they want you to hear. try and search tyaniman square on a Chinese search engine. it wont show up and/or it will say that your not allowed to look at this. i have to admit however that i think the Chinese culture is a very rich and amazing culture. I have a lot of respect for the Chinese but i just cant help but feel sorry for them.</description>

		<description>WAH! WAH! So far, after reading all your comments, I&#039;ve come to 1 conclusion that we can all hopefully agree on. IT&#039;S ALL ABOUT THE HE SAID, SHE SAID BULLSHITT!!!!!!!! ( to quote Limp Bizkit). What we need is a world competition of every country&#039;s best planes and pilots, and settle this debate once and for all. Although, I doubt that it will. Someone, who lost, will probably say that the sun was in their eyes or some shit like that. All being said none of these planes will get off the ground if someone hits the other first with a high altitude nuclear detonation. The emp will take out anything electrical for hundreds, maybe thousands of square miles.</description>

		<description>i have shot whitetail (and Coyotes) with a .223. For the whitetail i have used Barnes X bullet among other premium bullets. For  &#039;yotes I  have used military ball and Nosler Ballistic tips.  The exit wound, given a broadside lung shot,  on deer is impressive with the x bullet. I wonder how NATO ball ammo would stack up? Just askin&#039; &#039;cuz i don&#039;t know/have no experience with these bullets on whitetail (or any other large game),  I am sure it would kill them. I just wonder how fast. Bad guys, like Cape Buffalo, can do a lot a killin&#039; in a minute or two that it takes them to bleed out. 

I am sure there are many cases of one shot stops with the .223. There are likely some re the 30-06 where one shot didnt stop a bad guy.  I dont know. One could argue the relative ease shooting the .223 vs. the 30-06 and of the likely hit factors etc with each round taking all into account.  But, if we have a person with a given amount of training (maybe never enough in this world where few of us actually shoot - much less hunt) which would be more effective - an M1 Garand or an M16?  I would suggest that the WWII generation did pretty well with the Garand. Otheres would could argue that the M16 served well (after the teething issues were resolved) since it was concieved.   I dont know which was &quot;better&quot;. I will continue to hunt large game with my 30-06. I will continue to kill coyotes with my .223 .  All i know is that I like to shoot. I like to Hunt. I like to collect guns. And I say God Bless our Veterans - however they were (or are) equipped.</description>

Thanks to the Internet people in normal countries can see how the a stupid media and a militaristic society can produce such a paranoid population.

		<description>the f-22 Raptor is one of the most agile and high performance aircraft,can supercruise w/ stealth capabilities and trust vectoring engine....it has an AESA radar,the only downside is that it has no IRST (infrared seach and track equipment)......it can be detected by the russian PAK-FA and MAG-35 or even tha SU-30MKI, SU-35 and EUROfighter  at 80-100 km range using its advance OLS/IRST sensor and the PIRATE (passive infrared seach and track equipmant ) of the eurofighter.</description>
