Do any of you experts know if the 3DTVC is likely to be implemented into the tranche 3 deal or is it unlikely?
Thanks in advance
QUOTE from RAF website: While the Tornado used five Paveway IV bombs, again a first for that aircraft from .
I didnt think this was possible could someone care tell me how they did this? When there are only four spots for the PWIV, and three when the Tornado’s are carrying a targetting pod?
[QUOT]That’s not correct, TVC is already a possibility for T2, but as of now there appears to be little interest besides current customers, so we may not see it, except future customers request it.[QUOTE]
Has tthe UK expressed any intrest in getting the thrust vectoring version? Also India might want it, you never know.
I have a few quick questions about the Typhoon;
Is the Eurofighter going to recieve thrust vectoring still?
Is the UK going to decomission the bk-27 on its typhoons?
And lastly is this a standard UK Typhoon air-air load: 6 AMRAAMS and 2 ASRAAMS?
Thanks in advance.
When is the projected in-service date for the f-35 now? Is it still 2013?
That picture looks like a gbu-24 the long shape with the front curving in, but it just as easily could be a gbu-27. Still no sure
The loadout that the typhoonss are using is:
2x ASRAAM
2x Paveway II
2x Drop Tanks
1x Targetting pod
And does anybody know if the US is still using its AC-130s, A-10s and
harriers?
I think that the slowdown in military actions
is due to two things:new NATO leadership
and bad weather stopping airsrikes.
So now that the Yanks don’t seem to want to play no more and it now seems the Swedish are sending a few of their Gripens to operate over Libya, maybe now we, UK, can pull our Tonkas out of Afghanistan and maybe get a few Typhoons performing A/G sorties?
Fat chance, the MoD is scared of flys hitting
the plane let alone AAA bateries firing upon them!
I have just noticed something about the chart provided earlier, the f-35 cannot sriously replace planes like the a-10, is there a more dedicated CAS platform planned for its replacement?
Just saw a video on the BBC of the rebels putting the rocket launchers of mi-35s on stands and mounting them on jeeps! lol
Back to something said earlier, wasnt the pentagon ment to release info on a-10 and ac-130 missions over libya?
F/B-22,
two seats.
2 F-135/136 engines (I still root for F-136!)
compound delta, cranked arrow with plenty of internal fuel capacity.
big internal weapon bays.
tailless design. no need for high AOA manuevers.
update of F35’s sensor systems.
F/E-22 Jammer/EW version.
It would be WAY TO EXPENSIVE.
Isnt obama ment to make a speech at around half twelve GMT?
Does anybody know if the rebels have taken back ras lanuf?
