Part of me would find some twisted humor in it if he did. All of the leaders of the neighboring countries have been sucking up to him no matter what new horrible thing he does. Terrible, but a little bit of me would love to see the look on Mbeki's face when Mugabe sends his air force in to bomb South Africa.Cpl Kendall wrote:

SDNW4 Nation: The Refuge And, on Nova Terra, Al-Stan the Totally and Completely Honest and Legitimate Weapons Dealer and Used Starship Salesman slept on a bed made of money, with a blaster under his pillow and his sombrero pulled over his face. This is to say, he slept very well indeed.

Watching a JAS-39 make mince-meat of an FC-1 would be quite funny.

Unfortunately, the South African Air Force has deteriorated badly.
Among industrialized nations, their incidence of training accidents is absolutely horrendous. It was discovered a few years ago that most cadets leave the academies without having actually passed final exams.
Not that the SAAF would do anything but mop the floor with the Zimbabwe Air Force.

Never said that Zimbabwe would win. I'm just sick of all the other African leaders lining up to suck up to Mugabe. Mbeki pisses me off. He seems all about giving the West the finger in everything the West does well, like not being run by tinpot dictators and fighting AIDS. Let's embrace our brother dictators and let thirty percent of the population die over the next ten years! 
I wonder if he'd still be singing that tune after an attempted invasion.
But Axi, you admit that Eritrea has planes flying. They shouldn't have had the money to buy the planes or the services of mercinaries, but they did apparently.

And Zimbabwe shouldn't have had enough money to buy all those new arms. I think they're approaching the end of the line. I can't see them spending - or rather, finding - the necessary money to make those planes operate at all. Eritrea strung themselves out to get those planes - and they were successful only for a limited time. I think Zimbabwe's already in that same boat; they put everything they had into these new arms shipments. I doubt they'll have much left over to put anything in the air now.

Re: No, I think it might well make it.
Oh yeah, I think it was 5 minutes of "combat", including ONE minute on AB. Sorry. I didn't have my books with me in Cyprus.Sea Skimmer wrote:All the MiG-29 radius of action figures are for one minute on burner not five.Kazuaki Shimazaki wrote:
Using two RD-33 engine and 4400kg of fuel, a MiG-29 can have 408NM of "operational radius" (that includes take-off and climb to 40000 feet, 15 minutes on station, 5 minutes burner, return, landing).
Anyway, shall we start taking bets on weather or not these fighters even make it out of their crates at the airport? I hope they do, so we can see the FC-1 climb into the sub Saharan skies to do battle with Zambia's mighty MiG-21 and Jastreb aerial armada.
They should be able to win against MiG-21s. Unless the MiG-21s were upgraded
I'd prefer to see that in the comfort of an AWACS plane, PROTECTED by F-22s. Trying to watch air combat and fly the plane at the same time is too tiring, even if I am relegated to a radar view
