But seriousy, what about the former Soviet Union? I'm sure you can get a MIG for a steal. And what if MARS or Cobra has a Recapture, Refurbish division, that buy up old fighters from various countries around the world, so they can purge old inventories and buy the latest and greatest from Lockheed or Mcdonnell Douglas.

Now we're talking Zulu. Is that a current platform the Chinese are using? I'd say China as well. What do you think about the former Soviet republics. I bet they may have some old aircraft hanging around rusting out.

I think Russia and the Ukraine still have Il-28s (the H-5's design predecessor), but they're used mostly as trainers as well. |

Russian military aircraft on sale for general public
Not sure how real this site is, but reading the comments cracks me up. Yet if these prices are for real there would be a lot of incentive for a terrorist organization with an annual surplus in the billions to want to get a hold of some Aircraft. The only time I remember Cobra using a Russian aircraft was at the beginning of the Marvel run. When CC gets rescued by Storm Shadow in the Mountains, Storm Shadow shows up in a TU-95 bear. (Or what looks like one.) So there is precedence. |

I believe Cobra used MiG-21's in issue 17, the aftermath of the attack on DC. That's the only other time I can remember them using something distinctly Russian, and not just completely made up. Also, Destro used a Harrier in 18.

Can't remember which issue it was, but IIRC, Cobra used Sukhoi Su-7 jets in the comics before they introduced the Rattlers (although those could be the MIG-21s you're referring to... the two planes do look similar when drawn in a cartoon-y manner).

Yeah, I don't know for sure, it's just the image I have in my head of what was drawn. Speaking of Russian fighters, they apparently have developed a new one, the Sukhoi T-50. It's being touted as a "stealth fighter". I got the photos at http://news.yahoo.com/nphotos/stealt...r-Sukhoi/photo
