And please some more info on their Mirages…
Is it Mirage III?
Where did they got them? when?
thanks.

So what is keeping them from replacing those ancient CPUs with a Pentium 4?
Foor example, as I understand one of the big issues in radar and radar ground mapping is computing power, so wouldnt such a move make a big difference?

Goggle- about the Israeli systems- you were talking about the MNM right?
Is 12 aircraft the total deal or more to be delivered later?

And no one know the answer to my question about the TVC?

Thanks for the info.
But if they have so much financial problems why dont they dispose/sell the F-4s and concentrate on their F-16 fleet?

It doesnt mean that the Russians would like to give it to them. Just like the radar in the F-16I deal.

Yeah, you got me folks… I was confused between track and engage. Sorry if I got someone mis-informed.
And Ive read about a downgraded export version of the N001, for the chinese I think.
It should be around here somewhere, Ill look it up.

The interesting thing however is that the Zhuk on the MiG-29SMT may outperform the N001VE of the SU-27SM upgrade in terms of multiple target tracking and engagement, and the ability to resolve targets on the ground.

How many targets could this Zhuk track simultaneously?
I know the N001VE could track 2, and the export version (designated N001?) only 1.
lol, they really need to catch up with the west. american radars can track up to 10-12 targets now, maybe more right?

maybe a rocket pod?

Garry- the underrbelly looks like a pod or some sort of bombs, but different by the one on the wing.

Im new in this forum, so I dont know what kind of people visit here, but I guess that someone familiar with the aircraft (pilot,mechanic,loader) could identify it by the shape and numbers on it.
