@gambit ?

you can only use bombers when you have complete air-superiority or have stealth or long-range weapons. you only need bombers when you have to fly far without the facility of bases close to the operation theater or tankers. in that case, you probably won't have the three things mentioned in...

Thanks Do you believe it is more affordable now? Also is the ammunition storage less of a hazard to the crew? I read that the ammunition and crew compartments are separated now and blowout panels have been added to the ammunition area (plus side-skirt armor, explosive reactive armor, and...

Thanks gambit. If I may add, 1. The MiG-25 would actually start eating its engine beyond Mach 2.5, so not really at par with the other two in any respect, though we did not know that until after the defection to Japan by Victor Belenko...

Sorry just pointing out my own reply to his question because it seems it got bundled in between my other posts. Thanks

Bismillah ir Rahman ar Raheem The Chinese got the Diverterless-Supersonic-Intake [DSI] files from the Locheed Martin [LM] hack and implemented them (well or not) in their existing and upcoming designs. The DSI was initially tested on the F-16: The cost of implementing it on legacy airframes...

"Radar jamming and deception From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Radar jamming and deception (electronic countermeasures) is the intentional emission of radio frequency signals to interfere with the operation of a radar by saturating its receiver with noise or false information. There are two...

Thanks brother, almost posted that earlier. Probably apocryphal but I read that airmen sitting in the two Electronic Warfare crew stations in the back cockpit had their ----s fried (lost fertility presumably) before the gold tints were developed. But regarding current aircraft, gambit is very...

Thanks sir; missed that post. I had the equivalent of deepwater thermocline being constant below 500 feet around the world in my mind and so my estimations were off. "I don't directly see how this would be affected by differences in ambient water or air temperature." Thanks

Bismillah ir Rahman ar Raheem I would have the S-70 at the top of the list if it were not for political considerations. I think if the Army were to go American again they would likely pick one of the two and they might lean towards the UH-1Y then. But then there is the inter-operability and...

Bismillah ir Rahman ar Raheem Brother, I had one question for you. I have read on this forum that Stirling AIPs are better suited to colder waters but cannot find the reasoning behind this from either a thermal or acoustics viewpoint. Fuel cells seem to be the way for the future on all counts...

Bismillah ir Rahman ar Raheem Not privy to armed forces internal thinking, brother. My feeling is that Pakistan will be more closely working with Augusta Westland (Leonardo now) and because of them TAI in the future - and that this might have been another reason in the company's divorce from...

Sorry Bilal, don't mean to dump on your favorites but the Rooivalk was a disaster lesson in program management, development, production, reliability, sustenance, and maintenance. Don't have better hopes for Mk2; my own feeling is they will never get enough financing to start a meaningful...

Very well put. Readers should please check actual payloads carried by the Apache in combat. It is still twice as much as the Marine AH-1F/S carry operationally but with enough engine power, a lighter helicopter is still just as effective, specially when used in flights of two or four at a time...
