True, admin please move to the naval section.

Anyway, the answer to your question is two things: sonar, that is listening to the target’s noise which can carry for miles in water if the circumstances are right . The other way is for the sub!arine to rely on offboard sensors such as another submarine or a marine patrol aircraft.

Well, I for one do believe the 50degree AOA claim, and its tactical significance in a 1v1 situation. You do win first shot with that. But you shed a LOT of energy doing that as well.So in a manyVmany situation, you do not want to make those high-AOA turns on the merge, you unload that baby to zoom out of the furball as quick as you can.

Of course I only ever flew a Cessna irl, the rest of it is conjecture from the simulator and reading.

So what I take away from this is that the 35 is not a sustained turner like the viper. It’s a boom n zoomer, more like the zipper from the 60s. I am quite happy to read its not entirely useless as a fighter. It would be horrible if so many billions were wasted on a bad machine.

Perhaps this report and the earlier leaked one disagree so much because the flight control program and flight restrictions on the 35 have evolved quite a bit in the time between them?

Such a glorious plane ?

Glorious pictures

Glorious. Dont have anything meaningful to say about the plane but damn that is beautiful. Claba Poccia!

Apparently flying the A400 has resumed. Does this mean the plane has been cleared safe? Guess it was bad luck then. In the 50s being a test pilot was the single most dangerous thing a man could do and still they lined up for it…..

wtf are those?! recon drones?

weather in canuckistan in a thread about flying turkeybirds?!

ok….

He got zapped lol!

Mind telling us the story of that one Gerard? Cant be but a juicy one. For the non-dutch readers, the plane is full of names and insults such as the word “gebakje” (sweet cake) with an arrow pointing to the pilot.
