    Default Guess who's coming to Red Flag? If you said the Russians, you're right...

    http://www.flightglobal.com/blogs/the-dewline/

    "The Russian Federation Air Force will be coming to Nellis AFB, Nevada, to participate in the US Air Force's Red Flag (13-1) exercise. How the world has changed... This would have been absolutely unthinkable even a few years ago. It's actually kinda bizarre now... But at the same time, kinda awesome.

    The questions I have are: Will the Russians play the part of Red Air? It will certainly be interesting to see how the Russians react to the US interpretation of their tactics and doctrine... Also, I have to wonder how the Russian play-acting/dress-up the 64th and 65th Aggressors do will go over... "

    Awesome. Would be even more awesome if they brought one of the PAK-FA test planes with them.

    It will be interesting to see how they run the show with everybody having their systems shut off.

    Even though I know the Russians won't bring the PAK-FA, how awesome would it be to see the F-22 in simulated combat with the PAK-FA?

    That's what I was thinking. Probably going to be an intelligence bonanza.

    Most likely they'll do what they did in previous exercises with F-22s - radar reflectors fitted and drop tanks fixed.
