Its apples and oranges. F15E is a fighter, the A10 is an attack aircraft used for close air support and killing tanks. The F15E is a much better fighter than an A10 will ever be. BUT I'm in currently in Afghanistan and love to see A10s coming to help us out. How many tanks and armored personnel carriers did A10s kill in Desert Storm? Its like comparing a Pit Bull and a Lab. Which one is better? Both? Just depends on your point of referance.

its called s5k,since the letter c is pronounced s in russian.it is a small non guided missle of a warhead of 1 kg or so,many of it are carried in a pode under the wings of fighter planes or helecopters.it is used in the role of ground attack.a fairly old missile.

The main difference is that the Air Force is more technical than the other services.  Think about it all those planes and everything.  They call Air Force grunts "tarmac soldiers"  cause they generally don't go out in the boonies.

1st Operational Squadron in September 2004 to August 2005 \n2nd Operational Squadron in September 2005 to June 2006 \n3rd Operational Squadron in September 2006 to June 2007 \n\nEach of the three squadrons would be composed of 24 PAI F-22s plus 2 BAI F-22s. \n\nBeddown of the F-22 and drawdown of the F-15C would occur at Langley AFB, with part of a squadron of F-22s arriving and an equivalent number of F-15Cs from that squadron being removed until the full squadron is composed of 24 PAI F-22 aircraft. This pattern would apply for two of the three F-15C squadrons with 24 PAI aircraft. The third squadron would receive 24 PAI F-22s to replace its 18 PAI F-15Cs. In total, Langley AFB would support 6 additional PAI aircraft (66 F-15Cs versus 72 F-22s) as a result of the proposed beddown. \n\nThe F-22A Raptor achieved Initial Operational Capability [IOC] on 15 December 2005. The first combat-ready Raptors were assigned to the 27th Fighter Squadron, one of three squadrons assigned to the 1st Fighter Wing. The 27th FS combat deployment capability with the F-22A is a 12-ship deployable package designed to execute air-to-air and air-to-ground missions. \n\nAt Eglin, Elmendorf, and Mountain Home alternative bases, the operational F-15Cs would be replaced with operational F-22s. At Tyndall AFB, all F-22s for the Operational Wing would be additive to the base since there are no operational F-15C aircraft to drawdown. The three operational F-22 squadrons at Tyndall AFB would be under a new, separate wing. Personnel changes to support the beddown would follow the same sequence as the aircraft beddown.

You're asking about "designed" aircraft...\n\nThe biggest commercial aircraft, but one not yet in service, is the Airbus 380.   It will hold around 800 people in its maximum configuration, although no airlines are yet planning to use it that way.  It's a double decker, all the way, front to back.   It is currently in testing ahd should start service later this year.\n\nThe biggest military plane is the C-5A, a cargo plane built in the 70s for the US Air Force.  It is 247 feet long and has a wing span of 220 feet.\n\nThe Russians also have a very large cargo plane, but I believe it's not quite as large as the C-5.   Of course, with all these kinds of questions, there's not always a unique answer: does "biggest" mean\n\nlongest\nwidest\ntallest\nlargest cargo capacity\netc. ?

I'm in the Air Force, but I dont understand your question.  What exactly are you asking?

The F-16 is an old and somewhat generic piece of crap.  The Mig 29 Foxbat is perhaps the second greatest aerial fighter (after the Raptor) ever built.

The USAF does not actually build them.  They look at the proposed designs from the major aircraft designers (such as Lockheed Martin) then they just pick the one that best suits the purposes of the Air Force.  There are several designs that are presented when the USAF goes looking for a new aircraft.  Only after they see the capabilities will the Air Force make their choice.  They have a very rigorous test that they put the potential aircraft through and only those that pass with the highest marks will be accepted.  This test will generally narrow the selection down to one or two planes.
