Interesting; one-piece windshields, no wing fences, JH-7As.
Oh crap, I’m terribly sorry wowcow. I thought I hit the quote button, but I accidentally hit the edit button instead and deleted your post. 😮
Here’s the gist of what wowcow said; The Iowas would be able to sustain a hit from the Yamatos because they had a special steel. However, if the Iowa lost her FCR, then she would probably have to rely on her superior speed and maneuvering to get out of harm’s way. The US Montana, had they been completed, would’ve been a better match for the Yamatoas, as their guns were heavier than those on the Yamato.
Would the Iowa’s main armor belt line be able to sustain a hit from an 18″ shell? Who would win, if say, the Iowa’s FCR were knocked out?
How about the unfinished Montanas vs. the Yamato? Presuming the Montanas would be finished for the duel, unlike the USS Massachusetts vs. the Jean Bart. 🙂
According to a Chinese post concerning a Jane’s Defense Weekly Oct. 15, 2004 report, China is testfiring an ALARM/HARM-type anti-radiation weapon called WAR-1. This missile is to arm the JH-7 “Flying Leopard,” the J-10 and the J-11.
Maybe Google could help here 🙂
There’s no such JDW report published on the website.
Scream like a girl and run for the hills! Paul ‘Can’t-write-for-shiat, but-married-to-the-hot-Milla-Jovovich’ Anderson is penning Alien 6.
Gah.
Here’s a picture of the VERA-E, courtesy of JDW and ERA.
I love how it says, “The DoD agreed to procure one VERA-E PSS for testing purposes as compensation for the US government’s intervention into the sale of six systems to China in February. “
Must be one expensive single motherfarkin’ system. One for the price of 6. 🙂
Hey, I was just about to post this. 🙂 🙂
So PiBu, I see that they’ve unveiled this model, but how likely is it that India will sign this export contract?
You’re right, I know nothing and have no real-world experience in anything related to this forum :rolleyes:
SOC spends his time getting liquored up and watching old Futurama episodes. 🙂
Google, are you sure about the figure for T/R modules? That’s way more than the (2000 element) APG-77 or the 1100 (element) AN/APG-79. I thought that it was really 1500 elements.
Pretty sure, I skimmed the info from an article, let me go back and recheck it.
Congrats! The 2000th post passes by quickly…. 🙂
Hi guys,
I’m going to lock this thread because it’s too bloated. You’ll have to start a new one.
All opposed, say nay.
Sorry Historic Aviation Mods, I accidentally moved it here, instead of the General aviation section. 🙂 If you could be so kind as to correct it for me…?
