Oi, thx 🙂

Is the 2 planes in the middle baby drakens???
ME WANT!

There is an 80’s movie with Chevy Chase where he is an arms dealer with an intelligent UCAV

It also Stars Gregory Hines and Sigourney Weaver

Its called Deal of the Century
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0085412/

In the end at an arms show the UCAV goes mental and Gregory Hines jumps into the cockpit of an F-19X and chases down the UCAV and destroys it

Its the only movie ive seen with an F-19 portrayed in it

I have seen that movie many years ago, I am not at all shure, but I belive the plane he was flying was the f-20 prototype

Which bird was carrying/testing it?

Can you please give us more info on this one Ken?

Thanks for posting this.

Like I said, it was maid for the su25 frogfoot, it had electric heating, light inside, but cant remeber if it was presuried.
Supposedly, they only tested it, but never put it in real use 🙂

It’s lowest RCS is to the front, but it is all aspect VLO, and not only to X band.

The F-35 is far less likely than the F-16 to get in an WVR situation, and with the DAS/JHMCS, it will have the advantage. The AIM-9X is getting LOAL, and the AIM-120D has HOBS capabilities too, for over the shoulder shots.

The F-35 can carry 24 SDBs too. It only needs to be VLO for first day of war type missions. For missions like Afghanistan, etc… it can operate just fine with external stores.

You have to remember- with the new capabilities that VLO offers, different tactics will be utilized, to fully exploit them. Having stealthy wingmen, is going to pose a much bigger challenge for any would be foe, and the F-35 will have significant advantages in situational awareness, giving them much greater leeway in deciding when and where to engage/disengage.

And represent for LM was asked questions about f-35 by readers of 1 of our Norwegian neewspapers, and one of the questions was, “wich plane is most stealth from behind of f35 and Jas”, and he answerd that it would proberly be the jas because of the smaller engine.

Since Matthias Rust flew a Cessna 172 from Finland to Moscow and landed on Vasilevski Spusk in 1987. He could have had any sort of payload up to about 1000 lbs stashed in the Cessna and taken out the capital of the Soviet Union.

The point here is that if the Soviet air defenses can’t pick up a Cessna at the height of the Cold War, then how are we to reasonably believe their claims today when they say they can spot something that’s been specifically designed to evade detection?

Well, the soviet air defence picked he up on radar, that was not the problem, the problem was chain of command. USSR werent to popular after shooting down an airliner, so when fighters reported inn that it was a cessna, no one dared to give them order to fire, and then they lost him over and area with “no flying sone” even for the military (have not yet find out why even for military 🙁 ) So he was just plain lucky that got there, if he had flyed ann fighter, he would never got that far!

Thanks, never knew that, keep us update. Interesting though, because the NH-90 will be used as a CSAR platform. I suspect one of the key elements in these kind of missions is range.

Not only because of range and flytime, they also wanted our new rescue helicopter to be able to evacuate 16 persons in one operation, and that is not posible with NH-90

The jas 39 gripen is an very unstabile construction with is canards in function, but if all computers on board break downs, then the canards will be put in free, and the gripen are sudenly a stabil plane that can be flown by the pilot alone without a computer.
