A pre-delivery shot of an Ivorian Su-25 (the first picture, the second Su should be from Belarus) One of the few photographs showing one of those beasts intact.

Taken from the site of the official Belorussian arms export company. I still can’t decide whether to buy a Su-24 or a Su-27 :diablo:

Nice but the Abkhazian Mi-17s he posted are just as nice 😀
By the way, rather odd that Bangladesh refers to its A-5 Fantans as Attack-5.

Thanks for the info, I stand corrected 😉

At least one BN ended up in a Chinese museum, most Egyptian Floggers were sent to the the US.

GOOD NEWS!

European library Europeana is back again

there is a lot of French newsreel footage, I guess we can expect to find some very interesting stuff 😀

Approximately at the middle there are some shots of Ethiopian F-86s and T-33s, later on you can see an Ethiopian F-5 firing rockets and two flying in formation with two Hunters. It would be interesting to know how they met those Hunters. Some exercise I guess. :confused:

By the way, does anyone remember the source of this picture? I’d love to include it in the instructions for my new sheet.

I’m sure the Israelis (and Syrians) are quaking in the boots.

Actually you might be somewhat right with your derogatory statement. The Hunters are strengthening the government in the internal situation, something Syria has not been interested in the past (although fortunately relations have become much better).

The problem is when talking about fighter jets everbody just looks at their air to air capabilities although such missions probably constitute only 1% of all sorties flown (except yo count some Cessna drug runners) The Hunters can be a very effective weapon in the counter insurgency role, as demonstrated by the Rhodesian Bush war. So there really is no need for such arrogant statements.
