Gunner wasn’t just to operate the tail gun IIRC. Il-28s used their tail guns to great effect during bombing runs assent against anyone foolish to try to lob a manpad in their ass in Afghan. eason why they tried to field modify tail gun to Hinds in Afghan and gun pod were mounted the other direction

Thanks to both of you.

Exactly … Dart, Bomarc, Talos, Navajo, ASMP – excluding Bloodhound which were among first ones in service…

At best Rusia had experience on par with others.

So by others you meant all western countries combined. So in other words as Rii said.

Also Navajo was never in service.

!. SM-2 is a bigger missile then either the 9m96E or 9m96E2 missiles. 9m317 missiles kinda are limited to that range by guidance. The new missile for Buk-M3. The 9M317A with active/passive rader allows it to have range of 70 km. The missile also has increased max speed of mach 8. Which if probably if reduced would allow the missile to have higher range if they wanted.

2. Has bigger first stage.

the range of the radar is… impressive

More detail if you can …por favor..

Might be the future destroyer with the RuN.

News on Project Kalina.

http://en.ria.ru/military_news/20140319/188575985/Russian-Navy-Unveils-New-Class-of-Submarines.html

MOSCOW, March 19 (RIA Novosti) – A prospective series of Russia’s new fifth-generation conventional submarine equipped with an advanced air-independent propulsion system will be designated the Kalina-class, the commander of the country’s navy said Wednesday.

“Russia is currently designing a fifth-generation conventional submarine, dubbed Project Kalina, which will be fitted with an air-independent propulsion (AIP) system,” Adm. Viktor Chirkov said.

“Our industry promises to develop this AIP system by 2017 and build the first boat fitted with such a system by 2018,” Chirkov said.

The admiral earlier said that the new AIP system could be initially tested on the only operational Lada-class diesel-electric submarine in service with the navy, the St. Petersburg, which is undergoing sea trials in the Barents Sea after a series of design changes.

Air-independent power plants offer significant advantages over diesel-electric submarines, which must surface regularly to recharge their batteries, and nuclear submarines, which must continually run noisy pumps to cool their reactors.

Submarines with such systems can stay submerged for weeks at a time and are already in operation with a number of navies around the world. The United States has so far not employed the technology, however, in favor of the longer endurance and range of nuclear submarines.

Hopefully they won’t **** it up like Lada class.
