“Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari said on Monday.”

Yeah definitely some random guy.

in Iraq, their foreign minister is probably considered as “some random guy”?

Where are these Iraqi Mi-28s, they must be almost completed if they are to be delivered in 3 months time?:confused: Are there pictures of them on the assembly line in Rostov?

N011M Bars weighs 650 kg.
N007 Zaslon weighs 1500 kg.
I think the difference in weight is a significant reason to do without replacement.

Where did you get that figure for the Zaslon’s weight? I usually see a figure of around 935 kg in many sources?:confused:
Still a beast of a radar though.:cool:

“Uncle Sam” will not attack a really strong opponent. 😉

Would Russia have gone to war against Georgia in 2008 if the Georgians had nukes? Would the USSR have invaded Czechoslovakia in 1968 if Alexander Dubček had 2000 nuclear tipped ICBMs at his finger tips?:rolleyes:

And which airshow this one were in?

Other member already show you similar load in flight.

A demonstration is also an operation, which perhaps you don’t know.

Have you got a picture of a MiG-29K with such a warload actually taking off or landing on the Kuznetsov? I would be very surprised if you did.:rolleyes:

As far as I can see that is an “airshow display” – why do you think there is a camera crew on board?

Do any of the T-50 prototypes actually have any kind of RAM applied to them at all? We are now into the fourth year of test flying as it stands…

The internal fuel capacity for MiG-29SMT is 6100kg.

Are you sure about that? It seems like a lot, almost double the figure for the Mirage 2000 which you quoted.

Maybe it will be based on the F-14, that would be worth looking at. Or even the MiG-29.

Without even researching it I’m pretty sure it’s a lot more than 10 tons. Maybe 20?
