    What happens when Moskit (or two of them) hit a target (@ 1:20):

    Looks like a P-500 hit

    I’m hereby placing a bet that this won’t happen. Β£1000, any takers?

    Well… see above… already derailed…

    An-26 or An-30, probably fake

    That looks exactly like a LOMAC movie.. The explosions and Flare patterns are the one that make me think that…

    Please everyone just ignore JSR and move on. It’s not even funny anymore. Use the IGNORE option if you cannot handle seeing the crazy statements.

    Neh… he is good for giggles…

    if you count the missiles from the flanker … you get an armada πŸ™‚

    If there were only four or five URSS/Russian ramjet missiles that “ended up in service” (didnt count them), then Tomcat1974 claim was correct, thats the number of western europe ramjet missiles that ended up in service, four (or five if you count Bloodhound I and II has diferent beasts wich they were), all being built by companies that are today part of MBDA.
    Cheers

    Exactly … Dart, Bomarc, Talos, Navajo, ASMP – excluding Bloodhound which were among first ones in service…

    Russia probably has more experience with ramjet technology than anyone else, so I agree that the suspension of the ramjet AAM program isn’t going to put them behind in the grand scheme of things.

    That sounds like a Carlsberg ad… “probably the best beer in the world”. Try a bit of search about Ramjet propulsion. At best Rusia had experience on par with others.

    Ok, don’t take this for rudeness, but have you actually looked at a photo of the two ports? The answer becomes self-evident.

    Novorosiisk is almost completely exposed. Sevastopol has some really nice, tucked natural harbors. Infrastructure is already built, and the geography is already there, hills cover serious winds, etc.
    In 2011 the frigate Dagestan, while moored @ Novorosiisk, was battered by a combination of winds and waves. Had some serious gashes along its sides. When is the last time you heard of that happening in Sevastopol?

    No offense taken πŸ™‚ .. You are right about the way Sevastopol is layered with deep bay and well protected. Thank for explanation.

    Novorosiisk will never be a Sevastopol replacement due to geography and climatic conditions.

    Plus Sevastopol has much larger existing naval facilities.

    The last part I think is true… Novorosiisk and Sevastopol are basically at same latitude… 300km distance doesn’t give you different climates…

    One of the big advantages of now possessing Crimea. Admiral Levchenko is the first non-BSF ship to undergo repairs @ the 13th Naval Repair yard, after operations in the Mediterranean.
    Before non-BSF ships were not able to undergo serious repairs in Sevastopol, due to disputes with Ukraine on ship numbers and the like.

    This will help Russian Navy operations past the Mediterranean as well.

    I still don’t get it… They had Novorossinsk… 300km away… They could do what ever they wanted there.. What ever reparations they needed.

    Where is my opinion above? Please quote!

    AFAIK I am the only one here, who published some real data, the facts from a WP pilots logbook, the flights and flight hours from the late ’70s. 3 years in a row.
    You do not need to respect me for that…But at least I would like to see similar pages from NATO pilots logbooks from the same period. Thanks in advance!

    But I do not understand, what’s the problem with a simple quote with Soviet stats. from 1978?
    Where is this data:

    compare with F-4F, early F-15A etc.?

    I am not convinced about that “log book”. It doesn’t look like any log book I’ve seen. A log book if is not tied to the name, grade, classification of a pilot is basically fluff… Get the first page where you can tie it to a specific name. Other it could be Squadron log book for all we know. Do you have the first page with Pilot’s name or daily records of it.

    Secondly a single log book doesn’t make it a rule for Magyar LΓ©gierΕ‘ that all pilots shall flight 180h a year. During communist era … well there were cases and cases… That dude can be a Regiment leader that did whatever the **** he wanted… or a political officer…

    The statements above are completely ambiguous – 23.0% and 1.8% of what? Are you trying to quote ‘Mean Time Between Failure’: MBTF?

    The MiG-23 suffered horrendous losses in the Czechoslovakian and Indian air forces – a real ‘lawn dart’.

    Don’t bother… he is on an obvious path to prove the ex-Warpac countries that they were wrong to dump the 23 and that they flew more than anybody else on the world πŸ™‚

    I still don’t understand what was flawed with Topol-M that needed replacement or a new missile.
