Moderator drewpy Posted October 11, 2011 Moderator Posted October 11, 2011 foamy would have let the missiles do their thing
wild foamy Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 too right i would have fired LOL . hate to be a killjoy, but those radar guns have a maximum range of around 1 mile... so how they managed to lock on to a tornado is a mystery...
Paulwhite Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 whats the radar range of the tornado jet? bet it locked onto the police radar, causing a fauls readout b4 jamming the signal. ......he he he ..........shame the pilot had some common sence lol
wild foamy Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 Radar range is classified, and in peace time i doubt they would have had live ordinance...
KirriePete Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 Much as we would love it to be true ...... it ain't. This story has been going round since at least the mid-90's to my certain knowledge - I worked in the MoD back then and recall some of my uniformed pals having a chuckle over it, not for the 'Stupid Cops' but for the impossibility of it.... If only the so-called journalist had bothered to check Snopes before committing to print .....!

wild foamy Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 Im more familiar with the AH-64s' Longbow system tbh, got a pic of me somewhere sat on one during my Afghan tour, brilliant piece of machinery
NEV Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 Aye crackin piece of kit, we get the odd one or two, flying over en route to Dartmoor. In fact theres rumours that a lad who's parents live in the village, flies pretty damn low whenever he's going over
