[Palestiniansuicidebomberbabies.jpg] I Just saw this on the 'tubes from the Ossetian war. The Ossetians manage to down a SU-25, and promptly try to perforate the ejecting pilot in his 'chute. (From what I gather from comments and various threads, the pilot survived and it was friendly fire, whoopsies.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bRWTsr-kTs

shyduck posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cgpQBZF2sZQ Well, ya see, the round's so small and the range is therefore so short and the fire control is open loop which means that against modern ASMs they're basically useless. The inbound's so fast that you'll get a single burst off as the thing comes into engagement range, you'll probably miss, and then even if you do hit you've still got a multiton ball of flaming missile wreckage that's heading for your ship at high velocity, so you're still pretty hosed. That's why they invented RAM and don't even bother putting the Phalanx on new ships. There's a bigger, marginally better system called Goalkeeper, it's based off the GAU-8 30mm cannon from the A-10. Downside there is that it's not a self-contained unit that can be bolted to the deck like Phalanx is, it requires cutting a big hole and mounting a lot of the system belowdecks so it's not exactly flexible. And really it doesn't range a whole lot furhter. Here's my favorite weapon platform out there, even if it's even more obsolete and isn't really even "out there" anymore: ![]() Edit: Ugh Ft. Rucker so glad I never ever have to be there again. That town seriously has the highest per capita population of Chinese buffet restaurants on the planet.

Those dang Russians have apparently taken delivery of their first handful of SU-35S, this is apparently the 2nd serial numbered one:![]() Definitely intimidating. AESA radar, glass cockpit, sustained supercruise and it sports the latest long range AA-12s. That said, if you add every example of every variant of plane that can be considered a "Super Flanker", the Russians only have 11 of them, including 3 SU-35S. Some sources say that the contract is for 48 to be delivered by 2015, but we'll see if that happens. More photos here.

The only reason Russia is even buying them is as tech demonstrators for airshows to do Cobras and poo poo and sell exports. The Flanker is an impressive plane in almost any situation. It's not their fault they've only been used to kill MiG-29s. Oldie but a goodie: ![]() Godholio fucked around with this message at 16:08 on Dec 8, 2012 |

Apparently, newer iterations have improved the software that it actually has a higher Pk than the bigger gun. Other more-is-better options that have been tried inlcude the Spanish Meroka, an 8-barrelled 20mm calliope: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QW8ilPgWc7s Myriad, an Italian proposal that had two 25mm rotaries on one mount. Kashtan, the Russian one with two 30mm rotaries and eight short-range SAMs for good measure: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7ssNPxyHp8

The various Blackbirds get a lot of pic thread time, for extremely understandable reasons, but I came across one not usually seen:![]() The YF-12 interceptor prototype in mostly bare titanium instead of the black "iron balls" paint. Probably, if the plane had gone into squadron service, it would have looked more like this, in the heat-dissipating silver paint planned for the B-70 Valkyrie. Here's the cockpit: ![]() And the back seat: ![]()
