Tensions have decreased over the shooting down of the Russian Il-20M maritime reconnaissance plane over Syria.
I have noticed that problem too Nicko, I hope that it will get sorted out soon.
SU-34 use standard AL-31F or so i heard. No TVC at all.
I can’t imagine a Sukhoi fighter without some form of thrust vectoring. So what is the issue with the Su-34?
I have just realized that my avatar does not show up when I posted my last reply to this forum, yet it does show up on my account home page. Could you please sort this out.
I have had to go to a avatar site and get a new avatar to solve this problem.
Feeling a bit wary about the new forum, but I suppose in the long run I will get used to it.
Thanks for that info QuantumFX.
The white pod looks like the Harm Targeting Pod, is this what it is used for? :confused:
Let’s see if they succeed this time where they failed with the Yak-141.
Great news about the Queen Elizabeth getting ready for the F-35B trials, September can’t come soon enough. :eagerness: 😎
You were not the only one affected, I tried getting on to the forum all yesterday via Google Chrome, FireFox and MS Edge none worked, what was going on in the background? Forum update?
That is one big missile Paralay, I have seen pictures of the R-33/R-37 family before but never from as close up as this.
Interesting news about the Gripen NG E/F being able to Supercruise (I did not know that fact), how would it compare with the Su-57 should it get the engines that are capable of Supercruise?
Though the R-37M may turn out to be a good missile given time, I still think that it lacks the 400km range of the Novator missile.
Such a shame that the Novator KS-172 never went into production, all that leaves Russia is just the R-37M.
So if the Tu-160’s are to be modernized over time, where does that leave the future PAK-DA bomber? In limbo?
