    Srbin,
    That is incorrect. For example the FLANKER family is up to H in the series. where did you think FLANKER G and H came from? FULCRUM is up to G. MiG-AT received the codename MISER and the Yak-130 has the codename MITTEN. Designators and names never went away. Radars, missiles etc are all still named by the west. Another example is the SU-47 which received the codename FIRKIN.

    Is Firkin even a real word? I’ve never heard it used in a sentence before. 🙂

    Not as a correspondent. Joris Janssen-Lok (now does some shipping bits for Jane’s) started out there pretty young too.

    However, he also covered the Belgrade situation several years back, so do you really think that JDW would hire a kid?

    I just find it very hard to believe that a 21 year old would be writing 80 articles for Jane’s. Dont you?

    Mr. Kucera has written 80 articles for JDW in the past year alone; I think he’s probably fairly accurate.

    I don’t think it was a very appropriate joke, Barak, smiley face or no.

    Oh, so they’re like hte USN’s MoSS? Mobile Submarine Simulators? Packed into a torpedo chassis, and packed with noise emitters mimicking a submarine signature?

    What’s wrong with the P-3 hurricane hunters?

    Are the Ka-50/52s getting any sort of order? They’re not being accepted except on a small basis in Russia’s domestic market, and Turkey probably won’t go with them either.

    lol, it’s always fun to mock our neighbors from the North! That is until they give us their cheap prescription drugs. 🙂

    I did know they had a Navy, just not submarines?!

    I’m not sure I know what you mean by ‘camera forum’? To talk about camera parts, or what?

    The WM is a reasonable guy; maybe if enough people want it, he will put up a separate forum for it. There aren’t that many plane spotters here int he ModMil Forum to warrant one, although it’s probably different in teh historic forum.

    Well, if he said no, then that pretty much answers the question, right?

    Also, in the future, please just make one thread in the main forum, rather than 3 separate threads.

    What kind of decoys are these exactly? Do they emit gas bubbles to mimic the wake of a submarine? Or emit the noise signature of the target sub?

    Very well, since no one has heeded my warning, this thread will be locked.
