Hey Fabe !! Where did ya find this one? You almost gave me a startle lol…:diablo::diablo:

Truly interesting to see the burmese junta teaming up with N.korean commie filths to fuxk up our trusty yankee ally.

Care to leave the URL here? Are you receiving me?????

A pdf leaked to Burma’s democratic opposition. The photos were all taken in 2008, odd to see the F-13 still in service.
The MiGs are nice but in my opinion the color photo of a Nodong missile is even better 😮

Iran’s ASH-3D Sea King

You know what it says? Those Iranian guys approached the nudist part of the cruise ship to watch the girls. So much for Islamic values in the Iranian military 😀

Today a “foxhole or hardstand” is no longer a real option to survive the fire-power from smart-weapons as the Taliban and some others did learn the bloody way.

Problem is, if you don’t know where the foxhole is you can’t bomb it.

It is possible

Thesis, substantiation, proof (if possible)

No one, not even the US, could effectively destroy North Korea’s missile force. There are little missile launching sites but rather lots of mobile launchers.
The campaign against Iraqi Scud launchers was already a failure although the part of Iraq they were launched from was a plain desert. NK’s missile force is much bigger and North Korea has hills quite some vegetation and lots of tunnels where it can hide the TELs.

Those Angolan L-29s are baffling thanks a lot!

Regarding Zimbabwe I start to believe the lack of pictures might also be caused by the country’s desolate economic situation. After all so many African pictures were taken by traveling businessmen or cargo pilots (like in Angola). most Zimbabwean photographs seem to be either really old or made during air shows.

Some nice Dominican Vampires from the Trujillo era.
The brutal megalomaniac “jefe” Rafael Trujillo (who even renamed the capital to Trujillo City) made the tiny country’s air force one of the strongest in Latin America buying no less but 50 Vampires! (in addition to B-25, A-26s, Mosquitos, Beaufighters, F-51s, P-38s, F-47s, T-33s, lots of T-6 and even B-17:eek:). Pictures from this time are rather scarce unfortunately.

Any idea on who won or who would have won in case of an encounter ?

That is close to impossible to say, it depends on the situation, geography (for fuel) situation, the version and pilot skill.
for example:

South African Mirage IICZ vs Angolan MiG-21, Mirage will win without any doubt.

Gabonese radar-less Mirage F-1AZ vs Indian-piloted MiG-21Bison, probably the Fishbed will have an advantage.

I know the last encounter is veeeery unlikely but I just needed an example to make my point, even if it is a little absurd 😛

pretty little activity here at the moment 😮
To get things going again a video containing some interesting shots of EO mercenaries with Angolan MiG-23s.
