Russian engines also have some notoriously short operational lives.

hell if the war would go long enough who knows what crazy thnigs they would have thought of. stalin liked to see his people geting sloughterd, for exemple take staligrad or the germen fire kklled you or you fell back and friendly fire did. in other exemples iv been told that thay would send people in front of tanks on a mein field so they will step on a mein and blow up makeing a safe pasege for the tanks. so its no wounder that there engines lasted only 10 hours.

The MiG-25 Foxbat had to have its engines changed after virtually every mission.

That's a hell of a beast!


I love that plane, it's so no-frills it barely works.

The new Mig-31 is more advanced, but that's for pansies.

MiG-31s would decimate MiG-25s in a head-to-head battle. The Foxhound has better sensors and better weapons.

I will have to say the Me-262. It set the standard for past jets and even set the standard for many of the first post war jets. Tha Arado was also a great plane. It was a remarkable bomber and looked awesome too. I think there were many other German X-planes that could have been great also if they had just finished them.

I disagree, so many Luftwaffe jets were the basis for aircraft used today. The A-10 and the Stealth bomber are 2 of them that really stand out.

Im with Adler, planes such as the 262 and Go-229 were by far the pioneers. I believe I read somewhere that the Brits studied a 262 when they were designed the post-war Meteors.

A lot of nations used the 262 as a basis. Look at the Japanese I dont know what they called there version and the russians did too, both basically copied the 262.

Ehhh....



The -25 is faster, anyway...


Like I said, the Foxhound is more advanced, but I prefer the Foxbat.

The foxbat was only fast at level flight. It could not do advanced maneuvers at mach 3 so if it had to fight it had to slow down. It was a better interceptor then a fighter.

yes but if you're suggesting we used their technology that's a very common miss-conception, we did study their engines, but we carried on developing our own and used our own technology..............

russians did too, both basically copied the 262.

the main post war russian jet was the Mig 15, i fail to see how that is similar to the me-262???

What I was saying is that the Russians built an aircraft that was similar to the Me-262, looked just like it. I do agree though that the best post war russain jet was the Mig-15. In fact I dont think until the Sabre came out was there anything that could match it. But I dont know how you could make a post war meteor similar to a Me-262. There was no way. But either way the Me-262 was monumental in helping design post war jet aircraft for the allies. Both sides studdied it a lot, I think Chuck Yeager even flew it on several occasions.

That maybe I can believe. But until they came out with the Lightning in the 50's I personally and in my opinion dont think the Brits had a very good jet fighter and neither did the Americans.
