U.S Air Force officials report a Lockheed-Martin F-16 crash earlier today.

Comparing a Sukhoi Su-24 Fencer to a Lockheed-Martin F-16 Viper (Fighting Falcon for the nerds at home) is like comparing a heavy duty, ¾-ton pickup truck to a Corvette on a road course. The results just aren’t pretty. On Tuesday, a Turkish F-16 shot down a Su-24 after a pair of Fencers trundled into Turkish […]
Combat Search and Rescue is one of the highest risk missions that exist on the modern battlefield. The situation is often fluid and very dynamic; the “known” information is extremely small and the risk to the rescue force is usually high. The critical factor to the confidence of the fast-mover pilots flying over denied territory […]
As we’ve reported to you earlier, a Russian Su-24M Fencer was shot down this morning after it allegedly violated Turkey’s sovereign airspace. “Facts” and “Truth” are radically divergent at this point, so we’re sifting through what we actually know, versus what is being reported. The incident occurred very near to the Turkish border with Syria, […]
Good morning, FighterSweep Fans. There’s breaking news coming out of Turkey: according to local sources, a warplane has been downed near Syria’s border with Turkey.

Happy Sunday, FighterSweep Fans! We hope you’re having an awesome weekend thus far and have had the chance to enjoy yourselves with some down time, or perhaps even some time in the cockpit!
