    It’s not strange although, with a few exceptions, most warships these days have diesel engines and/or gasturbines for propulsion.

    steam turbines are still pretty efficient

    the mig-29 should not be able to do that move and recover in ordinary circumstances, you sure its not some other plane?

    the Su-30MKI is the only IAF aircraft to have thrust vectoring..dont know of any single engined fighter that may use thrust vectoring,

    Sea Harrier 😀

    Mig 29K some one in the forum posted a article about the Plane in which the Russia guy said that the K will not get the Bars but he did mention thrust vectoring

    the Mig-29K has thrust vectoring and maybe the IAF mig upgrades might have the same.

    u mean the other way round or … is it that they worried abt touching European Soil?

    anyway expecting some nice shots from ur new Canon EOS-300D(?), which i supose u bought from Russia.

    Its not new any more 🙂 i got the 300D from Jessops with 100 pound discount + grip and 512Mb worth of memory free so it was a good deal, its nice camera better then the Dimage Z2 i had and my prints are a lot better for it (i do a lot of non aviation photography that i dont post here obviously)

    I will prob take my YashicaMat with me too as nothing beats medium format apart from Large format 🙂 and a lot of Fuji Velvia slide film so should get some nice results for the Static and maybe (if i am quick enough) some nice shots of flying display.

    here’s the true improvement when it comes to supporting g-loads.
    Afaik the US is interested, Germany has already picked it for the EF, a couple of other countries are considering it. I don’t know about France, but it wouldn’t be a problem to integrate it into the Rafale, as it doesn’t require any installations within the aircraft.

    I saw a documentary more then a year or so ago which claimed the Germans are taking the East german doctrin of vetting their pilots for G-lock before they were fully trained and thus eliminating it (close as).. interesting that they are going for this geer

    haha i know its used for the EH101 😉 that was the only one i knew for sure…

    Ah oki the Mig-29M thanks Distiller i heard the same about the problems with detecting the microfractures but artificial ageing is a new one too me. Also heard about the Cold working requirement. But the Alloy is still pretty promising i was under the Impression that the Russian were pretty far ahead in using this then the West.

    Oh any new western Aircraft using the same?

    Whats wrong with still having Styx and other older types of missiles along with the Brahmos? why waste the Brahmos for say slow moving easy target when something older can take care off it? why not let them (the NAVY) use the Brahmos for a Secondary ship to ship role and Primary Ship to Shore role literol combat anyone??#

    And again does anyone have a clue as to the composition of the Brahmos?
