…the remaining users only use the Fitters as stopgap until they get something better. That counts for Vietnam, Syria, Poland, NoKo and Libya.

Are you sure about North Korea operating swing-wing Fitters? Never heard that before, reportedly they have just some Su-7s.

What about Vietnam buying some surplus Polish Su-22, there was some news a while back. Anyone know more details?

BTW did Vietnam EVER operate any model of the Flogger (i’m thinking the BN would have been most likely,but then I think maybe someone confused the Flogger for the Fitter,which they did operate)

Never. Soviet Floggers were based in Vietnam, that’s where the rumor originated.

I too think the threat of manpads in insurgent hands is highly overrated.
I can’t recall any aircraft being shot down by insurgents in Afghanistan or Iraq with manpads, but there were plenty with 12,7; 14,5; 23 mm and RPGs (for helos)

Also, pure blooded CAS aircraft (A-10, Su-25) often survive direct manpads hits.
Remember that Soviet units in Afghanistan lost only 21 Su-25 shot down in combat over 8 years in a Stinger infested environment.

– 15 G-4 aircraft will be modernized with the latest avionics, given a2a and smart bomb capability, and stay in service until 2030, while the G-4’s that do not get modernized will be withdrawn from service in 2016

I thought they had Maverick and R-60 capability? Or that was only on the G-4M?
How many won’t be upgraded?
What about the Orao fleet? How many in service and what is their future?
Any of the old Mi-8 still flying?
Final question, what are the things marked with red? RWR sensors?

When Hungary was announced as a Gripen customer, the image to the right accompanied a number of press releases / news covering that.
IIRC the same image was shown with Czech high-vis roundels, but can’t find it right now.

Ahh, one faked picture from several hundreds in his book and you start trashing of him and his whole work. What about text inside the book, level of description of every aspect of the aircraft, what else he screwed up there? Those are things I buy books like that not only for gaining irrelevant pictures like “PLAAF Mig-29”, obviously faked.

I don’t see the reason for your rant.
Where did I trash “him and his whole work”?
I merely pointed out ONE mistake – obvious for you and me, but not so obvious for many others.

Members on this forum criticized him for a large number of mistakes and inexactities (foremost regrding Chinese versions of the MiG-21) here:

yet they were spared from your acid comments. :p

Well, I somehow expected that Chinese PS jobs will take the bulk of the thread. :diablo:
this web page:
http://www.somaliairforceclub.com/g2.htm
found by MiGMan is full of very poor fakes. Laking original Somali AF photos, the guy just pasted a Somali roundel on everything he could find – here’s one example, a Mauritanian BN-2 Islander. The fakes are small, probably in hope that nobody will notice how poorly done they are 😡

A few more, for these i don’t have the original
– Peru bought at some point 3 MiG-29SE from Russia, someone reported it wrongly as MiG-25 and some fanboy started to sweat
– Myanmar’s F-7s are camouflaged, like this:
http://www.airliners.net/photo/Myanmar—Air/Chengdu-F-7M-Airguard/1280429/L/
the roundel is anway too large and not aligned
– a pair of fake Moroccan Mirages
– a Hungarian MiG-21 bis from the 47th wing at Papa with a NK flag pasted over the HunAF roundel, recently posted by fabe in the Small AF thread #11

Perhaps it’s an idea to start a photoshop debunk thread? I hate the thought of fakes circulating the interweb as being ‘genuine PLAAF MiG-29’ or this ‘DPRKAF MiG-21bis from Pápa airbase’ without any countering, especially since most of the times such pictures are dismissed somewhere in some ad-hoc thread at some forum.

Anyone with a bigger and better organised picture database ready to start one?

Done:
http://forum.keypublishing.co.uk/showthread.php?t=83061
perhaps it should be pinned, so it doesn’t go down as time goes by and be more accesible for the new people here?
