Russian IL-20 shot down by Syria as Israel used it as cover for attack

lol....nothing...nothing at all...ever...never...let us not even entertain the notion....this conversation never happened...shh...as you were...

In case your jimmies are currently rustled, the comment was directed at one participant, and not you, because of previous conversations. You're lacking the context to jump in here.

Sorry. I thought public forums were.... Ummm public.

And I notice you presented nothing the Israelis should be blamed for in this case.

I think the article in the OP does a pretty good job of that... :shrug: My comment was more directed at the usual suspects that come on here and immediately get to work any time anyone DARES say Israel might have done something wrong... :lol:

So in this case... Nothing to blame Isreal for....

And the OP is a cut and paste from RT, the propaganda arm of the Russian government. Of course someone other than Russia/Syria is at fault. :lamo

When Russia and Israel are involved, who can tell, really? :lamo
 
how does an F16 camouflage its own radar image under that of a slow bus like the Ilyushin?

Undercarriage down and reverse thrust?

Hair Farce One is not an Il-20.

Oh dammit, maybe by now it is.:eek:

lol...just sayin'...

Max speed of Il-20: 515km/h
Min speed of F-16: 240km/h

Google if you don't believe me...you'll have to do some quick maths to get the F-16's min speed of 130 knots into km/h, but it's easy.

What? What the hell is wrong with my ears? Ok, fine, one's a little higher than the other, and I spent too much time DJing when I was younger, so my hearing is a little touched...actually, ya, my ears suck... Still don't understand the diss, but I accept it anyway.

From some account I read over a French guy (in words to that effect) going to meet his friend in a Paris restaurant, catching his foot on a chair on the way to the table, falling headlong across the remaining space, hanging onto the table cloth for dear life but in that attempt clearing plates, other cutlery and a flower vase into space and the specs on his nose dropping into the only remaining soup plate from which his friend was already spooning.

To which the friend laconically grunted "et avec tes oreilles, tu ne fais rien?"

Romain Gary's "Chien Blanc" if I remember right.:lol:

Ok...we're gonna hang out some time and I'll teach you how to effectively diss. Step 1, do not quote obscure short stories in French from the 70's. By the time the Google search is done, the burn has long faded...if it was even a burn, I can't be sure.

Wanna talk about airplanes?

Neither can I be, just an amusing memory coming out of nowhere and I thought I'd share it (knew you'd ask).

Anything to get out of this.

Fieseler Storch?

I don't think a Fieseler Storch could keep up with an Il-20.

Also...please stop exploiting my inability to not research things I don't know on Google, you're going to get me fired... :lol: ;)

could land on it though, in mid air as well. If, that is, one could overcome its dislike of landing anywhere at all.

That'll depend on whether you like the job or not.;)

Meh...I work in the automotive industry in Canada. Whether I do or not, it probably won't be an issue for long... ;)

Could be worse. Like working in the UK automotive industry.

Ah, the bliss of derailing Russian troll threads, eh wot?;)

Meh...this thread was already derailed. As I said before, no one is ever allowed to suggest that Israel did something wrong. :)

My 1983 DODGE van was made in Canada... Damn fine vehicle. Emissions issues were why we sold it in 2017.

Don't know if you had a hand... But damn good job.
