    Not the point, the point is that they (the RAF) would not have had to share the Harrier force with the Royal Navy therefore splitting available resources, they did not order more GR9s afterall. As for the airframe life being on it last breath, 21 of those jet were new build in the mid 90s the rest we ‘re-lifes’ so please excuse me if I say this is tosh spouted by the MoD to justify retiring them far too early.

    Regards

    The RAF has all of the Harriers anyway, thats why the RN had to play with the USMC on its last exercise. The F/A-2 was at one point to get the new Pegasus, so it may have been usable in the ghan but it is know where near the Striker that the dedicated GR-9A is.

    Well it could possibly enter in service as convesional weapon, like US Tomahawk, probably with 1ton HE warhead. 2X200KTs of Meteorit means 2 Tomahawks. Finally I want to ask if more powerful nuclear warhead had the tomahawk of the Granit P-700?

    I think it would be far too big and far too expensive to operate in the same way the Tomahawk does. Thats why the Russians have the Kh-55/555 design.;)

    If the program is dead and fealure why it is presented in MAKS-2007?, and also I want to ask if someone knows the specifications of this missile, I mean weight, warhead, diameter, how long it is etc.

    Just to show off some design capability, try and attract some funding, maybe just fill floor space.

    IIRC it was meant to have 2 nuclear warheads.

    Me, I still buy loads of CDs, but nowadays I rip them to my computer and copy the music to my Zune (like a video iPod, but a lot cooler).

    I dont know what your smoking but ipod has one massive can of kool-aid over that soap dish shaped lump of MS cr*p!:D

    With such small numbers of troops and the close proximity between allied and enemy forces. Its really amazing that we don’t hear of many more cases. Of course that is of little help to the poor families. Yet, we must not forget about the countless times allied troops have been saved that would surely have been loss with out CAS. Like everyone here my thoughts and prayers go out to the families.

    Exactly, far too few ground forces (largely due to the cowardice of many European governments) are engaged in far too many contact situations against an enemy that is numerically superior. The result is a massive over reliance on air power. A huge number of sorties are flown and with the incredibly close proximity of the fighting it is amazing that this does not happen more often.:( 🙁

    But the West only became more “civilized” once Church and state were separated…

    Exactly, and not only were church and state seperated but the influence of religion declined dramatically. Look at most European countries and you will see that religion rarely if ever features in policy debates.

    Nope. The Meteorit program was a pretty huge failure. The idea was great, the general concept was great, but the missile just wouldn’t cooperate. Almost all of the test launches resulted in some sort of failure.

    Its a shame really, this missile has one serious ‘cool factor’ about it.:diablo:

    Iv heard you come up with some bull, but that just tops it, so Islam is a threat to western way of life, exactly how is that genious? For the last 1400 years of Islam, whos been attacking who, its the west who launched crusades and the west who carried out countless invasions and attacking muslim countries in the last 100 years that would make the total wars in the last 2000 years look like a walk in the park.

    And just for your information when this socalled war on terrorism started, count how many muslims died as a result of American terrorism and other terrorist attacks carried out by other terroists, and compare that with western losses. That will really tell you who really is a threat to the world.

    Muslim achievements are well documented in history, but your above qoute is quite ironic. These same repressive regimes in the middle east who dont give equal rights ect are supported by the socalled free west.

    Certain strands of Islam are a threat becouse they are violent and oppressive ideology’s that are rapidly growing and spreading. They oppress women, homosexuals, and anyone who does not ‘believe’ in Islam. Just look at the regime that existed in Afghanistan prior to 2001, the ones in Iran and Saudi Arabia now. Even travel to Europe and we can see this evil at work with anti semitic attacks and so called honor killings where women are murdered for bringing ‘shame’ to their families.:mad:

    No, they have invented the maths and the monoteitic religions to wich all that bases back when we burned odd behaving women as withces:diablo:

    And that has what to do with today?:rolleyes:

    You mean the way of life that is basicly based on innovations invented in Islamic Arabia and in china?:diablo:?

    I wasnt aware that the middle east had developed religious tolerence, equal rights for women or the computer chip, or electricity etc.:rolleyes:

    The virgin birth, along with Mary and Jesus is a fairy tale made up so that the medicine man of the village didn’t have to get off his a$$ and do real work.
    All the poverty and homeless people in the world and look at all those expensive churches built everywhere…
    Plain enough?

    For once Garry I agree with you. However at the same time that justifies a war against Islam. In a number of its incarnations it is clearly a violent and oppressive ideology just like facism and stalinism and how christianity used to be and indeed still is in some quarters. Islam is a threat to the western way of life, and by western I also mean Russian, Asian (Japan/SK/China/large parts of ‘modernising’ India) as it is opposed to all the values modern society is based upon.

    Sealordlawrence,

    The frequency of the plasma screen should equal the frequency of the radar, and the timing of the screen should be putted in between the two radar phases, so you have tingling/flashing like radar-screen-radar-screen, and so on…that would work, in theory.

    In reality, you always have lower and higher cutoffs in any kind of flashing, and that cutoffs would interfere with the “second phase”, be it radar or screen. Those cutoffs would be easily evaded if they were same in both phases…in that case, you would leave an “error zone”, much like in digtal theory where the 0-0.7V signal equals binary zero and 4.3-5V signal equals binary one while the 0.7-4.3 range equals error in coding, but cutoffs are different for both types of radiation, therefore that would require precise synchronization.

    If you leave cutoffs as they are, you are efectivelly degrading both radar precision and screen efficiency. In trans-phase region, “remains” of the screen would interfere with reactivated radar, and vice versa, degrading exactly (n) percent performance of respected regime equal to how much cutoff interval has it’s share in whole working interval.

    In my work on high-powered electrostatic fields which needed to interact with other sources of radio emissions, i haven’t managed to drop-down cutoff beyond 5-8 percent average. I was using COTS components, they’re going to use milspec stuff, they’re 1500 times combined more smart and have more expirience than i have, but i’d say that whole system would degrade the performance of both the radar antenna and the screen for 1-3%.

    It doesn’t look like much, but it’s degrading. However, in this case, the ends justify the means.

    Tganks for the input Zare, you clearly know more than I do!:)

    Heroes? By accidentally dropping bombs on allies? Sheesh…

    I was referring to the brave soldiers killed on the ground fighting the Taliban not the aircrew. The troops were engaged at close quarters when the accident happened.:mad:
