Have anybody seen such a combo?
Kfir C-7 + Pave Penny under nose and two LGBs…
from http://www.aircraftresourcecenter.com
As F-16A/B Netz squadrons proved their low end air to air supremacy during the first three day of the June 1982 Lebanon war by downing over 50 Syrian fighers, the Kfir C2’s air to air roll came to an end. To improve the Kfir’s air to ground attack capabilities, it was fitted with a Pave Penny pod which gave it Laser Guided Bombing capability. For this new ground attack roll, it was painted in the same camouflage colors as applied to IAF F-16’s consisting of f.s.33531 sand, f.s.34424 green, f.s.30219 brown with an f.s.36375 light ghost gray undersurface. IAF delta wing fighter operations came to an end in 1994 with the delivery of USAF surplus block 15 F-16A’s which replaced the Kfir C7.
MiG-29M uses it, but not the K. And the SU-27MK and Su-35 uses it.
Not so right.
MiG-29M (Izd 9.15) and his naval cousin MiG-29K (Izd 9.31) used Al-Li alloys mostly on front part of fuselage plus some in mid section. This saved some 80 kg of weight.
This was abandoned on “new” MiG-29K (Izd 9.41) for India becouse of structural problems.
The system of refuelling in air now corresponds not only Russian, but also western to standards that MiG- 29K from various types of air tankers allows to refuel. And in case of a suspension bracket of the container the GROOVE-1MK the fighter and itself can represent itself as zapravshchika.
What is Groove-1Mk?
Is it similair to Flight Refuelling Mk.32 used on MKIs?
Jazz, take a look at book:
Cold War Submarines by Polmar/Moore. There are few pages related to CONFORM design and also few pics (one from them is posted in this thread) 😉
BTW, its very good book.
Cheers
