jet plane VS dragon

[Qwepir]

I don't understand what you mean.
This is true, however. One shot from a dragon is a dead fighter plane. You can't debate about that since the fighter planes armour is a fact. The durability of a dragon can be debated. Speaking of which.

How strong do you believe the armour of the dragon is?

Then we set a standard for "dragon armor." I say they don't have any because I have always imagined dragons as this:

Enormous flying lizards that breathe fire. No armor. No magic. No superintelligence.

Enormous flying lizards that breathe fire. No armor. No magic. No superintelligence.

In that case, the fighter jet would win.

However, my definition of dragons is more armored than what you seem to think.

[Qwepir]

Cutting isn't exactly the same as fire breath. Setting fire to oneself is much more lethal than giving yourself a scratch. I'm pretty sure dragons would have some kind of protection from that, don't you?

Snakes have venom, so they can't be poisoned.

This isn't pokemon you dipstuff.

My head is getting hurt from this discussion...

This thread is likely gonna go for about 20 pages.

Are we talking about fantasy novels for elementary schoolers or Europan Mythology?

"a dragon is like a pumpkin with a purple spot on the back, so the plane would win"

The latter most likely. Not all of those novels are for elementary schoolers.

1 - Implying the pilot is dumb enough to pass withing a few feet of the dragon.

2 - Cats have claws, so they have a natural immunity to cutting? No. This isn't pokemon you dipstuff.

3 - Last I checked, not a lot of dogfights happen in mountains. And above them it's not even up for debate. The dragon is literally sitting up there with its' pants down. It has zero chance of winning a high altitude engagement.

4 - One hit from the plane, and the dragon most likely loses the ability to fly

1 - a plane can't hover or move backwards, once it moves towards the dragon the only way you can avoid it is turning, which gives the dragon the chance to catch up and rip the backside. Turning also nullifies the ability to shoot the dragon. So generally, the plane will lose, if it loses the first round of shooting. Which on boths sides, is a matter of luck, and age.

2 -

From the dragon myths I read. The same scales on the inside that protect from fire are in layers on the outside.

3 - No, but it depends if the plane is going to get the dragon. Or the dragon going to get the plane. If the plane attacks the dragon. The dragon has home advantage. Of the mountains. If the dragon attacks the plane, the plane has home advantage.

4 - An opinion, not a fact.

Everything has their own view on dragons.

Percisely.

I think he means everybody, not that it makes much of a difference...

[Qwepir]

Then we are now setting a standard. European or Oriental?

[Zenthrox]

You seem pretty annoyed by this dragon argument. It's just a mythical creature, no need to get all emotional about it.

Anyway, does the source matter? Dragons don't actually exist either way.

Edit: I prefer the European style.

We are talking European.

[Nymethus]

Dragons don't actually exist either way.

Wikipedia doesn't tell the truth about nonexistent things either
