It's all about managing your energy and forcing the other guy to make the first mistake. That's were the Raptor has all the advantage.

All things equal, head to head merge into a turning fight. Now THAT I'd enjoy seeing.

OK. Cope Taufan 2014 is over. A couple of questions for you.

It looks like Malaysia has a surprising number of different platforms, considering the size of the country. It must present training and supply problems when there's F-18s, Migs and SUs rather than one standard platform. Any advantages-other than political-to the way they do business?

A surprising number of vides and photos have come out. Maybe there's a chance that some BCM videos may appear, hopefully.

Otherwise not a peep on results.

Have you heard anything so far?

I've had really intermittent contact with the net the last week or so (despite how it appears on here), so it's been hard to keep up with some things.

As for the Malaysian platforms, some of it is political, some of it is capabilities/support. They can get better support, and have a better mission capable rate with Western platforms (usually).
