since the ranges were extreme, the Mirages and Daggers were unable to exploit their tactical advantage of speed.

High and fast is theoretical. Never were the Mirages able to exploit this tactic IRL on the theatre.

So you do think that you buy an F-35 without ever trying it? Just like an icecream?

Era settles H225 helicopter lawsuit for $42 million

In a stock exchange filing, Era says that the agreement settles all litigation against the manufacturer without either party admitting liability. Airbus Helicopters will pay $42 million in cash, as well as giving certain trade credits lasting for five years.
Although regulators eventually cleared the 11t rotorcraft for service following the implementation of a number of safety measures, most offshore operators have kept their fleets idle.
Era had claimed that Airbus Helicopters had sold the H225s with the full knowledge of a safety issue with the main gearbox.

Norwegian investigators recommend H225 gearbox redesign

“The investigation has shown that the combination of material properties, surface treatment, design, operational loading environment and debris gave rise to a failure mode which was not previously anticipated or assessed.”
[…]
In its sole recommendation aimed at the manufacturer, SHT recommends that “Airbus Helicopters revise the type design to improve the robustness, reliability and safety of the main gearbox in the AS332 L2 and EC225”.
Airbus Helicopters is unlikely to undertake a wholesale redesign of the main gearbox for the Super Puma line, but will instead bring incremental changes to the component.
[…]
In addition, EASA was equally at fault, it says: “In summary, Airbus Helicopters and EASA did not successfully manage to realise the safety potential from the G-REDL accident report.”
Noting that the failure of a single component caused the catastrophic failure of the main gearbox and subsequent loss of the main rotor, SHT also recommends that EASA develop a main gearbox certification specification to prevent such a situation occurring on future designs.

Low power and drag of a delta wing in sustained turn.
Now you see how the Harrier made it in the Malvinas/Falklands 😉

Technically, given the said 200kg explosive contained on the head o the missile… It has some stronger armor than a T-90. So how do you say rolling front line in Lockmart‘s pidgin?

Not a single journalist dared to write an article in any russian speaking website or newspaper about these?

May I suggest this to correct your typo?

While Boeing and Embraer agreed to form a joint venture for their civil airliners (80% Boeing, 20%Embraer, 4.8b$), A new joint venture for Embraer military products is to be formed:

@Mercurius: I am totally on the same opinion. sadly, this is a trend widely found all across the internet’a forums where the expertise and time lost to ensure the quality of the thread is often disregarded in front of other priorities. Internet (and this is paradoxal) widely disregard IP question.

[…] the shocking admission of program failure by Russian officials.

When was that?! I last read about the order of 12 Airframe.
