Thanks, flex!
About the L-39s – where’s the gun? AFAIK ZA has the gun, these ones don’t.

flying spanner, that’s Onchon airfield with a bunch of MiG-19s or J-6s (2 of them on QRA) and some MiG-17s. The arrow seems to be painted on the tarmac.

Here’s a site where the ones interested can find a very extensive kmz. file regarding the ongoing conflict in Liban & Israel: http://almashriq.hiof.no/lebanon/300/350/355/july-war/index.html

index, those photos are taken in the US (you can see a B-1B, a C-5 and a Global Hawk in the background), after 1997, when Moldova sold them 1 UB, 6 A (9.12) and 14 C (9.13), together with all the spare parts, repair and diagnosis equipment and over 500 AAMs (AA-8, 10, 11).

awesome find, flex. Note that the number on top of the tail is 21, not 08 – probably the old Soviet number.

The name “Decebal” on the side of the intake belongs to the last ruler of the ancient kingdom of Dacia, which covered approximately today’s territories of Romania and Moldavia.
Where did you find those photos? Are there more? If so, please post them or the link to them. Thanks!

MiGMan, isn’t that a Su-20? It has no big back hump…

Found in North Korea

1) Two aircraft & a helo at 39°51’57.35.74″N 125°31’23.03″E

2) DC3 style/type aircraft at 39°51’48.07″N 125°31’40.99″E

Can anyone confirm the aircraft types and what this place is?

Looks like some barracks – maybe a training facility.
The helo looks like a Mi-4 Hound, the “DC3” is most likely a Li-2, there’s a MiG-17 and besides it what looks like an F-105 (gift from Vietnam???), could most likely be a Su-7.

Nice find, anyway!

Wanderlei, the MiGs you found are included in the “Far East Military District” kmz. file posted by SOC a while ago. Nice posting them, anyway.

Buddha, at the coordinates provided by you there are the same MiG-31s found by Wanderlei, no helos there…

However, more to the south there are 6 Ka-25/27 (2 without rotors) and 2 Mi-14? (1 without rotors).

More to the east you can find also 2 huge Mi-26.
Lots of Il-38s also on that base.

What’s the deal with the jungle camouflaged Mi’s for the deserts of Afghanistan?
Why in the world did they (the Russians) paint them so unsuitably?
Same goes for the newly-delivered Iraqi Mi-17s (+glossy paint 😉 )

I think the new F-16s would be replacing either the F-5s or F-CK-1

If you would have bothered to read the news starting this topic you would have found out that those new F-16s are going to replace the F-5s.

How rational would be, in your opinion, to replace 128 F-CK-1s with 66 F-16s and leave in service 60 old F-5s which are (literally) falling out of the sky???

russian claim that Indian AF SU-30mkk are slightly superior over the Chinese SU-30mkk

The Indian Su-30 is called Su-30 MKI, not MKK. You’d expect it to be superior, since it took longer to develop, entered service later and has Israeli and French avionics elements.

That J-10 looks like it is carrying BVRAAM’s (PL-11’s or PL-12?) on the middle wing hardpoints as well as the fuel tanks and the SRAAM’s

I don’t see them. It has only a red PL-8 on a white rail and a big white fuel tank. Here’s one picture of the same #1013 that has BVRAAMs:

AFAIK the entrance in the Su-33UB (Su-27KUB) is the same as in the Su-34.

and why there are no ventral fins?

Because the Su-34 is much heavier and slower than the Su-27, so it doesn’t need the fins (which provide lateral stability at high supersonic speeds and down low in turbulence)

and no auxiliary intake slots?

It has auxiliary intake slots on the lateral insides of the intakes – see pic attached. The designers scrapped the slots on top of the fuselage to provide more space for fuel – just like in the case of the MiG-29 M/K.

AFAIK, Yak-41 doesn’t exist, this is the Yak-141 “Freestyle” VTOL

What’s the missile under the F-104 wing in post #466? Kormoran ASM?
