Ok, when you guys say it doesn’t work, can you download it, or what? If you can, and the .wmv won’t play, I suggest you upgrade your media player, that’s probably the problem.

It won’t even download. Will have to wait until I get a new computer I guess.

We know that there are issues with the F117 and especially the B2 with care and feeding of the skin. I’d wait and see.

True ELP, but I wonder to what degree the production-model F-35’s skin will be RAM coated compared to older generation B-2s, and even older F-117s. Like you said, we will have to wait and see.

Speaking of DID, or Digital Image Design, the people that created F-22 ADF. What happened to them? Their website just up and vanished several years ago.

Actually, the Anza III sounds more like a Pakistani equivalent of the Chinese DK-9 SAM/guns system (using the PL-9), except without the guns.

So more or less another Chaparral type system.

I really wonder what’s it’s range is.

I would hazard a guess at similar internal fuel to the Su-27, perhaps a tad less. Add that with the more effecient AL-41F engines, and you might have a range/combat radius similar to the Su-27.

ISKANDER-M/ISKANDER-E [SS-26 ‘Stone’]

The Iskander-M/Iskander-E is a short range ballistic missile (SRBM) designed for tactical battlefield use. The Russian military version is known as the Iskander-M and the export version is known as the Iskander-E. Created by the Design Bureau of Machine Building (KBM) in Kolomna, the Iskander-M/Iskander-E has its origins in the Oka-U project which was first started in 1984 as an upgrade of the 9K714 Oka [NATO designation SS-23 ‘Spider’], but was discontinued in accordance with INF Treaty requirements. Further development of the Iskander-M/Iskander-E began in the 1990s under the project name ‘Tender’ using the information and technology from the Oka-U design. The Iskander-E was first displayed at the MAKS-99 air show in 1999 in Zhukovskiy, near Moscow. On 3 October 2001 testing for the Iskander-E was reported completed, while testing of the domestic Iskander-M version was reported to be continuing.

The Iskander-E is a solid-fueled, single-stage SRBM with a maximum range of 280km and a warhead payload of 480kg. It adheres to MTCR restrictions that limit missiles to a range of 300km and a payload of 500kg. The domestic Iskander-M version is expected to have a longer range of approximately 400km and a larger warhead up to 700kg. The Iskander-E has a launch weight of 3,800kg and is deployed on a transporter erector launcher vehicle that carries two missiles. The missiles can reportedly be launched within a minute of each other.

Syria, Iran, and Jordan have shown open interest in purchasing the Iskander-E. KBM director Nikolay Gushchin has stated that Russia will also seek to export the Iskander-E to Algeria, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Singapore, Vietnam, Malaysia, and South Korea. The state tests are to be completed in which is planned for 2003, and following their completion the Iskander-M is expected to be deployed by the Russian military.
