sorry for the families, RIP
at least the man died doing what he loved.
its being said for a long time now that the “tutor” is way overdue for replacement, but you know, politicians are not the ones flying nor fixing them, so…(now i’ve started to feel mad ๐ก )

Dear erez ๐
do you have any info on what exactly was offered to upgrade the Mig-29 to sniper?
in the pic is clear israeli avionics but nothing else, i was wondering about weapons (P4/P5 whenever posible etc?)
sorry for the off-topic :p
Camaro
Amraam/P4, that sure is the most lethal combo to me ๐ฎ
Camaro.
The F-5BR looks very impressive.
But just one thing – I don’t think it will get the Python-5, at least for a while, until the next generation missile will appear.
Shalom Erez ๐ , i think you’ll have to tell that also to our chilean brothers, some seem pretty convinced that fach will get them “soon” ๐
F-5BR, sounds hot man, i like that combo P4/R-77/HOTAS, HMS, hard to beat
congratulations Brasil (meu pais tropical ๐ )
Camaro
sorry Dutchy ๐
no F-5’s in Peru
perhaps you mean chile?
Camaro
by the way…
the names of the subs (just found out) in the operation are:
SS-32 “Antofagasta” and SS-31 “Angamos” (209 both)
and the Navy comandos in Peru are called FOES (Fuerza de Operaciones ESpeciales = special operations force, same idea as the navy seals)

Mig-29 pilot…in my wildest most wet dreams ๐ i envy those lucky *******s who fly them ๐
but i’m a private pilot and doing spins and split-S in the Cessna 150 is awesome ๐

Why did the chinese go all the way to peru for fishing?
Isnt Peru in South America and China in Asia :confused:
They go that far for fishing ๐ฎ
the only explanation coming to my mind would be not enough fish in asian waters, maybe some overfishing around there too?
other than that, i have no idea brother :confused:
Camaro.
hello guys ๐
distiller.
i knew that chinese investments are important in Peru but honestly i wasnt aware it was “that” important.
also it seems to me that the fishing is a private chinese affair and i doubt that the chinese government has any involvment in the matter (i sure hope)
what our friend F5M says is true, i clearly remember that oceanic life in the region was almost extinct for a while from overfishing, legal and illegal (no exageration, it was devastating ๐ฎ ) as usual scientists were ignored untill it was too late ๐ก
hallo 84.
what our good friend Victor says is also truth, thats the exact term, in fact i believe Canada (i live in montreal ๐ )should have adopted a similar EEZ to protect the oceanic life, i remember the devastation on the Newfoundland economy when suddenly …”there was no more fish” (the SOB b. malroney times) again scientists spoke for a long time and they were ignored ( ๐ก again)
F-18 (my sexy hamburger ๐ )
our chinese friends here are all decent people ๐ , i know no bad feelings are to happen and we know the fishing companys do not represent in any way the chinese people, they have all my respect (li ho mah ๐ )
it seems that the 209’s were shadowing them and the Lupo’s came from very deep in the open sea for the chase to cut the escape route, the fishers noticed and tried to run but only to face the frigates “face to face”
i’m not a naval expert but it seems to me that it was a very good hunt.
this pics are for ya sexy burger ๐ taken from the 209’s (sorry its not the best quality)
Camaro.
hello Lamps
sorry it was incomplete when i accidentally clicked “submit”, now its finished, and it seems that the ships captain’s knew about (AFAIK) ๐ฎ
Camaro.
i think the airplane just broke appart ๐ฎ
i seriously dont think its wise to perform barrel rolls at that speed, just look how fast its rolling ๐ฎ it was either AT or really NEAR the speed of sound, there has to be a “structural limit factor”, looks to me like a catastrophic structural failure.
its jus my 2 cents oppinion ๐
good the pilots survived to tell the story ๐
Camaro
It just came to my mind the “furtive bear” incident…
why should a man flying a C-130 ignore a pair of fighters asking him politely at first and with warning shots after… to LAND?
why wait till live bullets are on your way?? :confused:
spying at you from international …wherever, in civilian world this is called “STALKING” and its illegal ๐ฎ
this and the other incidents are just (IMHO) a clear case of ATTITUDE
yes, “listen boy, you dont mess with the mightiest military force in the universe” :rolleyes:
Camaro
then, between the sub-sonic Club and the super-sonic krypton, why shoudn’t i choose the super-sonic Krypton Kh-31?
unless we talk about range, diference has to be very big to be considered as a decisive factor for a choice…
i’m getting a headache ๐
Camaro.
Chileans said that they have 84 Derby AAM, itยดs strange,because they show everything they get in the market…the modernization of the F-5Eยดs, the Phyton IV etc etc
perhaps you could find some pics for our good friend “the hamburger man” ๐
Camaro.
thanks for the info guys, but is the CLUB better than the KRYPTON (KH-31)?
i’likw to compare both :confused:
thanks again guys ๐
Camaro.
about Fencers… :confused:
is the Kaira its only targeting sensor? or you can install for example the SAPSAN on the Fencer? as a targeting pod?
it seems a bit unclear to me ๐ฎ
