That almost brought me to tears, I was laughing so hard.  "Also I heard the voice of the Lord saying who shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, here am I, send me." | |||

LOL. Those MiG 21's were pretty scary in the 90's against F14's, F15's, F16's and F18's. SIG556 Classic P220 Carry SAS Gen 2 SAO SP2022 9mm German Triple Serial P938 SAS P365 FDE Psalm 118:24 "This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it" | |||

Those MiGs are junk - just look at the crappy finish on the canopy frames. Besides, the most important aspect of any air force is pilot quality/training (good training results in good pilots). IF the NorKs had good pilots/training, they might be able to somewhat mitigate their severe disadvantage in hardware due to their crappy hardware. However, their pilot quality isn't rumored to any good. They would be sitting ducks in any shooting war (against the US, Japan, South Korea, Russia, or even China). Oh, and those commies sure love their big hats, don't they?. . Fear God and Dread Nought Admiral of the Fleet Sir Jacky Fisher | |||

What's up with the goofy Nork flightsuits with the big ass cosmonaut helmets? | |||

^^^^^^^^^^^^ They are using 1960s technology. And their air force is supposed to be their 'elite' branch, with their best people, equipment, and perks. Fear God and Dread Nought Admiral of the Fleet Sir Jacky Fisher | |||

Actually I was reading that the Romanians are still using the MiG-21, a build they came up with called the LanceR which sounds like it's still a pretty capable airplane. They are now slowly phasing in Lockheed Martin F-16's to replace them.

Those Romanian MiGs were upgraded by the Israelis. The NorKs' aren't. World of difference. Those upgraded MiGs flown by decent pilots can be dangerous. The ones flown today by the NorKs are significantly less so. . . Fear God and Dread Nought Admiral of the Fleet Sir Jacky Fisher | |||
