Notice the 5 bottle of wine per 32 attendants* (Napa, Bordeaux or delicious Bohemian?). Definitively, the private sector is more relax. :very_drunk:

T-ViP, you get the ‘Phrase of the Month’ award! :D;)

Noise reduction headset for deck crew during F35B operation

Advanced technology was also on display in small packages, such as Aegisound’s noise-reducing headsets for flight deck personnel supporting the very loud F-35 jump jet. By placing digital active noise reduction in custom-fitted earbuds inside larger cups worn over the ears, the Christiansburg, Virginia-based company offers three forms of hearing protection for on-deck personnel.

Used properly, the headset can reduce noise levels by 30 decibels, making radio communication possible when paired with a noise-reducing microphone and muzzle.

Aegisound’s top-of-the-line headset can run up to $5,000, but a relatively minor cost up front could save money down the line, as hearing loss while on active duty can lead to huge expenses later on.

I remember that we spoke about such and closed the debate that way.

No they are not, not for either, especially in light of the additional Su-30SM the AF is ordering.

Not to mention their major direction is MS-21.

Btw, regarding Iran:

Apparently Russia and Iran have agreed to a series of contracts worth 21 billion USD recently (at MAKS), including SSJs and space technology cooperation.

21b$!!! There we are with the incentive to suddenly go in Syria. 😉

Do we have a report in English?

BarnesW, this forum has no appetite for your racist reviewing of modern civilizations. Thx in advance to keep the focus on the topic of this thread.
