If only a bit bigger….perfect wallpaper. Alas.
new Ka-52 from batch.

Awesome pic. Ka-52 is looking quite beastly.

What are the specs for its current avionics & ESM/ECM fit?

Also, what is the “president” system that mikoyan1991 mentioned?

What is in the nose? an MMW radar?

Thanks.

LSP-8 and LSP-6 (Weaponised trainer ?) should be flying within a few months along with NP-1 and NP-2.

LSP 6 is an experimental airframe which will be used to expand the flight envelope. AFAIK, it will also be kitted out with spin recovery equipment (parachutes).

For that purpose, i reckon it would be a single seater as there is no need to endanger a second pilot.

It should have something like this installed –

But how many Polish AF F-16s have been lost to crashes, compared to IAF Su-30MKI?

But it’s not fair to victimise the Su-30MKI. Hasn’t the IAF also lost a pair of Hawk trainers, which have only been newly delivered?

Dutch F-16s are ancient. First delivered in 1980 – most of them must have at least 6,000 hours on their airframes?

No IAF Hawks have crashed. Also, I seriously doubt those F-16s have done more than 3,000 / 4,000 hrs. IAF mirages were bought in the 1980s and have been working superbly.

Its pretty obvious that the author has commented on the MKI’s out of his backside.

Of course Mr Ohff has a sound understanding of the basic Collins platform, I’m not certain he’s such an authoritative source on the modern Collins submarine capability.

Since he’s left, they’ve received an entirely new combat system, a new sonar system, new radar absorbent materials on the boat’s hull as well as new overall signature management system, a new torpedo system, an upgraded anti-ship missile system, a new Electronic Warfare and ESM system and new Electro-Optical sensors.

In other words, he has no familiarity at all with the boats combat capability as they are today, besides the basic hull and propulsion elements.

I reckon he has more familiarity with those boats than you & I and is aware of all those upgrades.

^and hopefully designs for the new future Russian Navy carrier will also be unveiled.

Vik should hopefully arrive in India by mid of next year. Maybe we will start seeing some decent videos then.

^^ Wow, that is one massive floating dry dock.

I wonder how much it would have cost if IN had bought the Varyag and asked the Russians to complete it.
