UN producto europeo entrenando a los pilotos americanos.

Cierto ruso, y no hay que olvidar que los famosos Harrier de los Marines son de origen británicos....

Y que el Rolls Royce Merlin convirtió al P-51 Mustang en uno de los mejores cazas de la

Declaraciones incendiarias de un general de la USAF sobre la prioridad nº 1 del US Army, el "long-range precision fires": https://www.defensenews.com/air/2021/04 ... ts-stupid/

[Vorlon]

Incendiarias para la fuerza aérea, tiene toda la razón, en la nueva batalla terrestre, sin idea de frente y con los flancos si poder asegurar, Hay que ganar la batalla de la primera salva,entre otras cosas.

Tener fuerzas que puedan agruparse y disgregarse con facilidad y sin perder el control.
