Does N Korea have 5th gen jets?


Just wondering

reply

No they don't. They don't even have 4th gen. The most modern fighter aircraft they have is quite old MiG-29.

haha okay, so that was just for the movie. I was wondering lol

The country they are referring to is of course fictional, but closer in many ways to Iran.

Iran has plans and facilities to make nuclear weapons, that is why there is Iran nuclear deal.

Iran is the only country still has F-14s, in flyable condition. The cobra maneuver in the movie by Maverick was only ever performed with F-14s by Iranian pilots.

Iran has good relationships with Russia, so there is the possibility, to access Su-57 jets.

It was definitely Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

That’s like in WarGames when they choose Las Vegas as one of the strategic targets.

I had to look up Scotland on Google maps! I’m unsure what relationship the Scotland president have with our president but it’s not unlikely that that was the target country.

100% Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Imagine how dangerous it would be for us Americans to be on the ground there. Arabs, militia, kids with AKs, IEDs, woman with vests. 50cal’s mounted on pickups! Even helos targeting POW on the ground. Lawless😵‍💫

Don’t forget the deep fried Mars Bars 😵‍💫🪦

what country was it supposed to be? i thought they said it was N korea.

reply

i just checked wikipedia and there is no mention of a country name in the plot. but i could swear i remember them saying n korea in the film. anyone else remember?

reply

No, they did not mention the country by name in the movie. That is why there were several threads here fighting about which country it actually was.

reply

The country was Asia. This way everyone is right from a certain point of view

reply

The country is fictional, so nobody is right, since it is not real.

It is about if it is a real country, which one is the closest fit to the movie's setting.

I'd say Iran.

reply

And Iran is part of Asia, so I am correct

reply

If you say earth I'd say you are also correct, but what is the point in that?

reply

Saying Earth is too vague. The only correct answer can be Asia, since we narrowed the countries down and all of them are in Asia

reply

who has invented this categorization system and gets to say which jets are where on it ?

the movie?
