[video=youtube;n9GppRPmQSc]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9GppRPmQSc[/video] [QUOTE]Norway's Armed Forces have released a video that shows one of their planes having to make an emergency manoeuvre to avoid colliding with a Russian jet fighter.The footage which was released on Sunday, captures the Norwegian F16 on a NATO mission to intercept a Russian MiG-31 that has was spotted flying in international airspace just off the northern Norwegian coast. The pilot is flying tracking the MiG, when he is forced to make a sudden movement to the left after the Russian aircraft cuts in front of the his flight path. As the Russian MiG comes within 60 feet of his plane, the Norwegian pilot is heard shouting “What the hell?."[/QUOTE] [url]http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/video-norwegian-jet-performs-emergency-manoeuvre-to-avoid-russian-mig-9898204.html[/url] The fuck was the Russian pilot thinking

goddamn these guys have good trigger discipline.

I was expecting it to come from the opposite direction.

Frankly the Russians won't stop this bullshit until a plane is shot down.

[QUOTE=bravehat;46645133]Frankly the Russians won't stop this bullshit until a plane is shot down.[/QUOTE] Its like a really expensive game of chicken.

That flying russian prick had probably snuck a bottle of stoli with him on the plane.

Should have put a few in the mig's engines and force him to land.

[QUOTE=Binladen34;46646300]Should have put a few in the mig's engines and force him to land.[/QUOTE] It was in International Airspace and that would be an act of Aggression.

[QUOTE=Binladen34;46646300]Should have put a few in the mig's engines and force him to land.[/QUOTE] Worst idea ever

[QUOTE=Laserbeams;46646329]Worst idea ever[/QUOTE] nah its a pretty good idea, you guys just aren't thinking of proper ways to implement it.

[QUOTE=Laserbeams;46646329]Worst idea ever[/QUOTE] Worst idea is the damn Russian provoking the Norwegian in the first place.

[QUOTE=Superkilll307;46646323]It was in International Airspace and that would be an act of Aggression.[/QUOTE] I didn't read the part where this was international airspace. Russia does this shit in Finland, and Norway, and a bunch of other countries all the time, so I had assumed it was in Norwegian airspace. Even then, Russia is still committing acts of aggression in international space.

[QUOTE=Binladen34;46646300]Should have put a few in the mig's engines and force him to land.[/QUOTE] Jesus, I'm glad you guys don't have any real authority in situations like these.

[QUOTE=Blazyd;46646359]Jesus, I'm glad [b]binladen34 doesn't[/b] have any real authority in situations like these.[/QUOTE] Fixed. We all think that post is nuts too, shooting at another aircraft in international airspace because they're flying dangerously? More than a bit over the top

[QUOTE=Binladen34;46646344] Even then, Russia is still committing acts of aggression in international space.[/QUOTE] What "acts of aggression"? More like acts of very minor inconvenience.

[QUOTE=Binladen34;46646344]I didn't read the part where this was international airspace. Russia does this shit in Finland, and Norway, and a bunch of other countries all the time, so I had assumed it was in Norwegian airspace. Even then, Russia is still committing acts of aggression in international space.[/QUOTE] You have no idea how many bells and alarms would go off if even either side would shoot 1 bullet from their jet or airplane.

It feels like Russia really really wants to start some serious shit, but they don't want to look like the aggressor. I don't mean to say that Ukraine's situation isn't serious shit, but I'm talking about something that NATO would give a shit about.

[QUOTE=Binladen34;46646300]Should have put a few in the mig's engines and force him to land.[/QUOTE] Yeah man, let's escalate the entire fucking situation! Great idea! That's just the way Norway does it!

[QUOTE=A B.A. Survivor;46644970]I was expecting it to come from the opposite direction.[/QUOTE] If they would go to opposite directions AND crossing flight paths there would be little time to react before a head-on collision. At least I think this would be the case.

guys, when it comes to military advice you should always trust the guy with a military loli avatar on a gaming forum

[QUOTE=Binladen34;46646300]Should have put a few in the mig's engines and force him to land.[/QUOTE] hmm yes a few 20mm rounds in his engine that will surely force him to land or fucking explode

man it would suck being a Russian fighter pilot and receiving word from your flight commander "Now, breeki, I need you to run diagnostic experiment of Norwegian flight reaction times using your MiG as the independent variable, and that Norwegian jet, as the dependent variable. The constant will be the fear both you and the pilot have --- and Yes, breeki, I know that it's an armed Norwegian fighter jet"

[QUOTE=ChestyMcGee;46646682]hmm yes a few 20mm rounds in his engine that will surely force him to land or fucking explode[/QUOTE] He has a fucking wehraboo avatar do you think he understands how ANYTHING works?

[QUOTE=Binladen34;46646336]nah its a pretty good idea, you guys just aren't thinking of proper ways to implement it.[/QUOTE] You shoot something only to kill it, that's weapon safety rule #1

[QUOTE=Binladen34;46646300]Should have put a few in the mig's engines and force him to land.[/QUOTE] This was international space, so really bad idea. If this were Norway's airspace, and they acted aggressively towards Norwegian aircraft, then that would make them the aggressor, and then you could either fire shots at him, put him on lock, or whatever their doctrine tells them to do... For things like this, you can't really do anything.

[QUOTE=Laserbeams;46646825]You shoot something only to kill it, that's weapon safety rule #1[/QUOTE] What if you're at the shooting range? Do you have to kill something then?

[QUOTE=ZombieDawgs;46647788]What if you're at the shooting range? Do you have to kill something then?[/QUOTE] that's an entirely different scenario

[QUOTE=ZombieDawgs;46647788]What if you're at the shooting range? Do you have to kill something then?[/QUOTE] don't be so damn literal, a shooting range is for aim improvements.
