XD45 7,124 Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 (edited) Reminds me of those wonderful early 80s, at the height of the Cold War, when our ships were routinely buzzed by Russian planes.

ChileRelleno 7,071 Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 Both sides have always played the game. My Dad and FiL were both 20yr+ Navy veterans, one a surface sailor, the other a subsurface, and they both can tell some stories of the games they played with the Russians/Chinese. My Dad's seabooks are full of pictures of each sides Flybys, games of Chicken and more. All that aside, there are serious aspects to these games... Too bad they already know our so called leaders are pussies. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
XD45 7,124 Posted April 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 Too bad they already know our so called leaders are pussies. Which is exactly the point. When I watched a Bear recon plane buzz our task force I knew it was just part of the game. Our planes were buzzing their task forces. Kinda keeping each other honest, so to speak. This is just Puta slapping us with his dick cause he knows Hussein won't do anything. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DLT 1,646 Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 Well at least the Skipper kept his cool and didn't try firing on Aero Ivan. Every freaking SU 27 and Mig 29 in the area would have been on his ass within five minutes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mancat 2,368 Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 My wife's grandpa was a lifer in the sub force, and has several stories of Soviet ASW planes picking up on them and dropping dummy charges just to fuck with them. Nothing new here... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Eric Pate 478 Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 This type of military posturing is almost standard procedure between large militaries. This is kinda how countries talk to each other without involving politicians! BOTH sides do it. Its is a contest of provocation and a test of nerve. Anybody remember the Hainen Island incident? Where there was wingtip contact between a US spyplane and a Chinese interceptor resulting in the downing of both planes? Here is what they never tell you about that: While our reconnaissance aircraft cannot enter Chinese airspace, there is nothing that says we cannot fly as close as possible to their borders and "look down" across their territory. The Chinese are well aware of this tactic and counter it by flying an interceptor as close as humanly possible on their side of the border. Its like a game of chicken. In this particular incident there was accidental contact resulting in a crash, but we do this sort of thing all the time. Also, check out this list of US/Soviet submarine collisions. This is just the declassified ones. I'd be willing to bet some of these incidents are the result of a similar tactic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
breid1970 327 Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 Iron curtain part two. Coming soon to a world near you. I don't know who I despise more.

Bretonmaitre 36 Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 Russian general bragging to American general: we guaranty 2500 calories per day for each soldier in combat.

Too bad they already know our so called leaders are pussies. Yeah, my dad retired a Navy captain and told me a few stories. I remember one early in his career when a Russian 'fishing boat' with about 20 antenna wandered across the path of the carrier he was serving on. We still dunno if they were trying to see how the carers could maneuver, or the boat captain was just an idiot. Edited April 23, 2014 by mostholycerebus Quote Link to post Share on other sites
XD45 7,124 Posted April 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 In 1990 when we went to Jubail to unload our MPS ships there was a Chinese cargo ship on the other side of the pier. The Chinese ship was there when we got there and still there when we left a week later. They never loaded or unloaded a single container. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
