Answer 4

Even better in what regards? Each weapon system has it's advantages and weaknesses. Do you ever watch Discover Wings? If not, try to get it and watch it. Not sure if you can watch it on line or not. I am retired Air Force and have so much experience on fighter jets and have been in foreign jets too, like 9 different Migs and Tornados and so on. So i have seen both sides. It's actually pretty cool if there was to be a some sort of real type video game were you could use the different aircraft to use the advantages and weaknesses of each system.

If I had to choose, I would take an F-4G Wild Weasel with 4 HARMS, 2 Aim9's an or Aim 7 and with the EW system would be able to do the job, or even better i'd take an F-15 over about anything, a J model and the ECM on it can just jam the c**p out of anything out there in a full barrage it would be able to hold it's own and has, the only reason they want to retire it is because the labor it takes to maintain it, just like the F4. We are so far ahead of the competition it's crazy, and yes it's great that they are on our side because I would be scared if i lived anywhere else and was harboring bad guys!

Great question man! Take care
