My cousin is in the Greek air force and some guy he knows in the Navy sent him this vid and he sent it to me, I thought it was a cool vid so I thought I would post it.

For a country it’s size Greece has one of the hugest Airforce and Navyin Europe. We have to. We have one enemy and it’s Turkey right next to us. They have tried invading Greece many times and up to now there is still tension between the two and they are still fighting over the island of Cyprus, it’s all political shit. The good thing is that Greece is a part of the European Union so if something ever goes down we have all of Europe backing us up but the bad thing is Turkey is an Ameican allie and they would most likely help them but on the other hand Russia is Greece’s best allie! And they hate the Turks and they would love the chance to beat up on Turkey and USA. Most countries watch the tension between Turkey and Greece ver closely because they know this could triger ww3.
Greece and Turkey are like a ticking time bomb that could go off at any time. Here on the island I’m in (Chios) we are next to Turkey and this island is so well protected it’s not even funny. Every day I see fighterjets in the air and navy ships patroling. I love fighterjets, I could watch them all day. We all hope nothing ever happens, there is no winners in war but Greeks also believe you have to fight for peace. It’s what they have been doing since the begining, it’s what they know how to do best.

My cousin who is a pilot in the airforce (12 years now) was showing me the fighter jets Greece purchased in 2008:

The Eurofighter: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DcFZcF17GJk

and they will be purchasing these from Russia in 2009, these fighter jets are pure impresive! Even USA wasn’t too happy about Russia selling them to Greece because they know these jets rule the skies! Nothing can manouver like a Sukhoi SU37!
Watch this vid and you will see things that you never thought a fighterjet was able to do! The writing is in Russian at first and then in Greek but it won’t keep you from understanding what is going on, just watch!

My cousin is a Mirage 2000 pilot… He started as a F-4 phantom II pilot but then the Greek airforce replaced them with the Mirage 2000 and F-16’s. He is now in training to be a Eurofighter pilot.

I told him he should of went to training to become a Sukhoi pilot, that thing is pure sick! Just watch the vid on the Sukhoi and you will see. Nice song too!

The entire SU37 project was funded by China purchasing plans from Russia

China is now working on a stealth jetfighter to put up against the USAF F22.

Personaly I like the SU47 this thing looks awesome with the backwards wings and all but Russia is not selling any of these… not yet anyway.

They can create all the prototypes that they want. They lack the capability to create the software required for the control systems. New Bird’s of prey aren’t able to fly without computational imput. It’ll take the PLA-AF a good 10 years just to develop the fighter.

The US itself wants to put a hold on the F22. They want to divert finds unto the JSF program due to the flexibility and design of the plane. It’s also SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper.

Sukhof is still prototyping the SU47. They are trying to compete for the next major military contract with the russian air force.
