Even a Marine aviator would know that trying the defeat a heat-seeking missile by lighting up their after burners to go faster and making a big, giant heat source hotter and then dropping flares to fool the missile probably won't work.

tous Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Just a note. Those flares aren't very expensive, so if it was a photo op, it was a cheap one $500.00 worth of flares, starring a $40 million aircraft for the Hornet, around $68 million for a Rhino. Plus fuel. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tous Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 The British have used the ski jump for sea-born aircraft for the last 50 years. They really did not have a carrier-based fighter or attack aircraft other than the Harrier and they still don't. They do have the Tornado, a most-awesome aircraft, but land-based. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
