One French Fighter Pilot "Killed” An F-22 Raptor... Sort Of*David Axe* *F-22, * If mock combat counts. *Here's What You Need to Remember:* To be fair, it’s unclear what scenario the jets were playing out: whether, for instance, the F-22 started out slower and lower in order to let the Rafale gain the advantage for training purposes. Nevertheless, the video shows that the Rafale, a decade older and less sophisticated compared to the F-22, can be roughly comparable to the Raptor when maneuvering at low speed during close combat. Past evidence seems to confirm that a French fighter pilot once “killed” an American F-22 Raptor stealth fight... read more

Fact: U.S. Air Force Pilots Hated and Feared Army Patriot Missiles*David Axe* *U.S. Air Force, Americas* “Many allied pilots believed that the Patriot posed a greater threat to them than did any [surface-to-air missile] in Iraq’s inventory.” *Here's What You Need to Know*: Air Force pilots quickly lost patience with U.S. Army missileers. During the spring 2003 invasion of Iraq by U.S. and allied forces, U.S. Army Patriot air-defense missile batteries were so dangerously unreliable—and prone to firing on friendly planes—that they provoked a brief, and today largely forgotten, civil war between missileers and fighter pilots. “Many allied pilots ... read more
