OK here is another one from the same studio, this time its about a brave group of Russian naval commandos saving the day again from those reckless Americans. Looks like the Americans get some missile tests wrong and its up to the Soviets to sort it out.

Film starts with a Western naval exercise that is going on for some reason next to a Russian one, the first scene of the news crew on the bridge of an American carrier had me crying with laughter! You have crewman with open cans of beer in front of them on the bridge and the American Admiral is smoking a huge Cigar. Obviously the Russian studio didn’t know (and probably wouldn’t of cared) that the US Navy was dry on board! Albeit I don’t know about senior officers and smoking on the bridge?:D

Film ends with a battle against American missile boats, enjoy:

C goes and the RN are in an interesting situation as well, curiously it would end up being cheaper.

To be honest the USN wouldn’t lose much sleep over that they are happy with the Super Hornet and they have a UCAV in the pipeline. As for the RN many would be very happy with a Super Hornet buy but it would be problematic for the RAF I can’t them seeing it as a very attractive GR4 replacement in the penetration strike role. Then again they have a UCAV in the pipeline as well…

That crash was amazing, being serious it stands up well as an action sequence in comparison to Hollywood action flicks of the time.

I also enjoyed trying to make out what the American dialogue was over the Russian dubbing – its a hoot! Sometimes they even dubbed the American and then dubbed over the top with Russian leading to a triple dubbing! Watch out for the random American swearing including some fantastically random “Sonofabitch”!

Looks like the US defence budget is gonna be cut soon……….any predictions as to how it will (if at all) affect the F-35?

Hmmm a hard dark question really, probably worthy of its own thread. The Americans will have to a long hard look at their defence expenditure. Further construction of DDG-1000 goes out of the window, the LCS procurement becomes more questionable and they will have to examine their global commitments.

F35B is very much on death watch now, of course that present problems to the US Marines but even more to the Italian and Spanish navies. The Cavour might be reconfigurable for CATOBAR operations but certainly not the Juan Carlos class. In one foul swoop the Italians and Spanish would be knocked out of the fixed wing business.

Indeed, the Fedex and DHL of the world are not interested in this class of aircraft. On the other hand there is a moderate market for replacement L100/AN-12/Transall.

Using the aft launch point how well is that Mig-29 going to get off the INS Vikramaditya’s deck with a full fuel load, four drop tanks and the refueling pod?

I would think it would be a very important capability for Indian navy fast jet operations.

I do, helicopters approach parrallel to the ship to align with their landing spot then side slip over and land. They don’t fly up and down the flight deck, and we would have seen more shots of the action if it was real

Doesn’t look like a PS to me, it doesn’t have that not quite there feeling of a PS job.

The carrier is still in harbour and it looks to me the pilot is doing a flight demo for crewman and dignitaries. So I wouldn’t draw any conclusions about which direction the helicopter was pointing, note there were no crewman waving her in and the empty deck.

I don’t think it was any coincidence that the 88 crew support ship was there, I think the PLAN have transferred her initial crew to Dailan to begin training and workup with the carrier.

There is no way that T1 Typhoon has used up its FI points yet. I can’t imagine the RAF wanted a repeat of what happened with the Tornado F3 fleet.

It should also be noted that Embraer is aiming this aircraft at the civilian market as well. The choice of civil avionics and engines make it far easier to market to transport companies, considering there is a fair few increasingly elderly Lockheed L-100 as well as an even larger number of various Russian transports like the AN-12 still flying the KC-390 has a strong market there.

Well going on the pictures of the landing sight fitted to the AK there is no doubt that the Chinese one is locally designed. The Chinese sight is also clearly influenced by the American FLOLS which is logical considering the amount of information about that system in the public domain.

Or as I suggested this Journo was very close to Stansted and Luton making his UFO more then likely the property of Easyjet or Ryanair and he really should of had an extra Proplus!:diablo:

Well August is usually a light news month!;)

In the end its one radio journo thinking he saw something as he was driving along in his car…most likely it was something rather mundane and boring that his tired aviation shy brain couldn’t understand at 4:15 in the morning!

What made me really laugh is when he said 15 miles was a long way from Stansted, not for an aircraft! My money is on Ryanair!

Sorry this is a thread that could launch a thousand flame wars, my guess the mods will lock it faster then Speedy Gonzalez.

As far as I am concerned BOTH ship masters were bang out of order! There was utterly no need to get their vessels into this situation, both ship masters had the chance to do the mature thing and turn away! In nearly every navy I know bumping your ship is an immediate courts martial offence!

This video doesn’t show either navies in a good light! They are there to patrol for pirates not pursue national grudges!

Well Sea Viper has a datalink so I suppose it could be fired in the correct direction, then give a mid course update and allow the active seeker to do the rest close in much the same as anti ship missile like Exocet or Harpoon.
