Imaging Questioners

[su-47]

The first one is a Mig-21, may be Mig-21bis, but its a version later than 21F because of the dorsal spine. PAF F-7s dont have dorsal spines like 21bis or other later Mig-21 designs. Spine provides space for more avionics and fuel but restricts all round view somewhat.

Second and Third picture seem to be the infamous Su-7 (Dual centreline fuel tanks).

Fourth is Su-11 due to its big nose intake. Here I would add that Su-9 and Su-11 are very similar except a bigger nose intake of -11 and external fuel line on -11 aft of cockpit. Both share the delta wing.

Fifth is Su-22. Some Su-22s were shot down by PAF F-16s during Afghan war against Soviet Occupation.

last one is famous british Lightning with its over-wing fuel tanks. By the way, these over-wing fuel tanks was not seen afterwards in new designs,although the Jaguar uses over-wing sidewinder rails.

Classic british aircrafts like Hunter, Buccaneer and Lighting can still be flown in the Thunder City in the South Africa by anyone, obviously on cash payment.

you really do know your planes. you nearly scored 100%

The first one is mig-21
Second is Su-7
Third is Su-9 missile armed interceptor
Fourth is Su-11
Fifth is Su-22

I am bit confused about the first aircraft It seems like

Boeing YC-14 ??


2. AMO-72003 1/72 Antonov An-22 **** Soviet Heavy Military and Commercial Freighter (World's largest turboprop aircraft) model kit
On 16 June 1965, the Soviet Union impressed Western observers by flying in the prototype of a new cargolifter aircraft, the Antonov "An-22 Antei (Antheus)", to the Paris Air Show. The new transport was indisputably the biggest aircraft in the world. The An-22 had performed its first flight only months before, on 27 February 1965.

3. MiG-25 FOXBAT

The Foxbat is a high-performance, high-altitude interceptor. This fast but unmaneuverable interceptor has also been deployed as a high altitude reconnaissance platform. Given the NATO reporting name 'Foxbat', the MiG-25 was designed to intercept the US B-70 bomber that was to have been capable of Mach 3. The B-70 was never built, however, so the Soviets were left with a long-range interceptor capable of astonishing speed and a phenomenal rate of climb. A MiG-25 can take off and climb to an altitude of 35,000 meters (114,000 ft) in a little over four minutes.

An-72, An-22 and Yak-141.
Yak-141 was (perhaps still is ) the Vertical Take Off aircraft of USSR.

Yak-141 was (perhaps still is ) the Vertical Take Off aircraft of USSR.

Yes, its the Yakovlev Yak-141 the latest Russian VTOL design.



Earlier Russian Navy operated the VTOL Yak-38 Forger from her Kiev Class carrier.

Recognise the bird on the top?

Dassault Super Etendard

 

[su-47]

An-72, An-22 and Yak-141.
Yak-141 was (perhaps still is ) the Vertical Take Off aircraft of USSR.

correct on all 3 again.

 

[Neo]

Dassault Super Etendard

Thats correct!

 

[Neo]

Can you name this aircraft?
Hope its a difficult one.

 

[shehbazi2001]

It seems to be Aermacchi MB-339. However Aermacchi has produced a newer trainer perhaps M-346.

Italian aircrafts does not seem to be selling good like for example their ground attack aircraft AMX, the AMX neither got publicity nor some large sales like other western or Russian planes.
AMX was a joint venture of Italy and Brazil.

 

[Neo]

No Sir, its not Italian.

 

[shehbazi2001]

It was tough yes and my first answer went wrong.

A little searching reveals that its G-4 Super Galeb of former Yugoslavia.

In fact its fuselage was too much similar to MB-339, although its intakes are different.

One thing we can note that two-seat jet trainers are abundant and many countries have their own jet trainers although they dont have high performance jet fighters.

 

[shehbazi2001]

ok, knowing that trainers are more difficult to recognise than fighters and bombers, I am attaching some pics to be identified,

 

[shehbazi2001]

also this one,
