14th of May. Israël will be 70 on the 14th of May. It is also not a miracle. That was not a miracle either but a rather ordinary newspaper article. Have a good day, Tay.

But then again, the Greek era definition of a hero is to win 1 vs 10 or more. Some people are just better ... or louder and many are actually very docile, so that adding the weight of authority, it's barely statistically significant. A pity in any case and thoughts to the kids, GN, Tay.

From : http://www.mbda-systems.com/product/mmp/ I was first trained on the Milan over 3 decades ago. The MMP is a smart evolution. Lesser volume and weight changes +2 kgs for the missile but minus a clean 10 kgs for the firing station with tripod and battery all incl., confined space firing...

Bye bye Milan ... :cray: Great day to you Zarvan, Tay.

That's actually not true, mate! The Rafale contract is bonafide. Consider the weapons procured : 300 AASM-HAMMER 140 SCALP 60 Exocet AM39 Bl.2 Mod.2 300 MICA 160 METEOR That's not an incredible amount but it's decent for a start for 24 planes? Worse even is the consideration you made central...

Are you hinting that the provenance of the equipment may weigh more than its actual usefulness? Tactical being superseded by strategic? My, my, what a cunning fellow! :whistle: All the best to you and yours my friend, Tay.

That is the strength of the Pakistani PAC approach probably in part "helped" by the scarcity of funds. Pakistan choose to accept the learning path for high end products ( owning, maintaining, designing, developing ) as the pay-off may never come but seriously hurried production where a market...

Thanks WindJ for the nice pics! I liked the dichotomy of the dusky empty Masjid Wazir Khan by the full bright Bazar most. Market and soul don't mix. Keep 'em coming and great day, Tay.

LOL Razgriz! From a 6 AlphaJets and 9 Mirage 2000s for fighter force now to 6 AdvancedHawks, 36 F15-E, 24 Typhoons & 24 Rafales. From 9 to 84, that's over a factor 9 increase ... It's the QEAF's Birthday everyday these days! Let's note that the above format is more than needed to handle Iran...

R.I.P. http://english.ahram.org.eg/NewsContent/1/64/282107/Egypt/Politics-/UPDATE--At-least--worshippers-killed-in-terror-att.aspx At least they're not Muslims so it can't be blamed on Islam. *sigh* Love Misr, sad out Tay. Edit : @ TheEagle, I was writing along and double posted the answer...

http://www.latribune.fr/entreprises-finance/industrie/aeronautique-defense/armement-renault-trucks-defense-perd-une-competition-strategique-face-a-nexter-758946.html EH, oui! The Renault marvel, my own vehicule when serving, is being replaced. Although the new beast does share some points ...

Nice find, Gomig mate but that one could be a ground trial. The starboard engine doesn't seem to function at all? And the guy in front of the port motor might be an engineer? So a full reheat test with a tire stop only on the left, brakes on? What do you think? Have a great day, Tay.

OK! An image is worth a thousand words they say, so : At the end of the central channel one sees the post combustion injectors' nozzles with that radial layout best visible on the previous images. You can imagine the blockage The Eagle and I referred to in one of the lower left injectors...

Temporary blockage of a post-combustion channel that pops open is one guess although on the image one wonders if there isn't a plume from below visible. I don't think it's anything related to Gs since the fuel is pumped in under pressure to allow inverted et al. A hiccup in all cases but...

Soit exactement ce que j'avais expliqué plus haut / So, exactly what I had expounded on above ... Thanks mon gars pour la confirmation, great day all, Tay. P.S. Here's where!

Nah guys, neither! In truth, the 20B figure never existed; t'was media frenzy! 10.2 was the L1 quote & just a base price prior to negotiations. The real problem was the HAL clause that wouldn't allow process control. ToT as in all these deals would have ended up decried as screwdriver giri...

So we should be expecting Congress-PPOI to publish documents proving Modi adopted AAmbani ... or should we guess it that Congress is jealous that the BJP don't need family ties to steal and profit from public money? Sigh ... just sigh to the rightful use of italics! LOL, are those Rafel...

LOL Punit! If HAL wants its own revenge ... they can always show their worth on the LCA and turn out the 170some best executed jets anyone's ever seen ... and right on schedule? I don't usually answer threads marred by title but sharing a wink with you isn't answering :D Good day all, Tay.

Why not before departure then? Who in Syria will notice or care for an extra 700 bodies? Just saying, Tay.

Yes, of course! That's why buddy-buddy refueling was made for naval aircrafts. Good day to you, Tay.
