    It’s an AIM-9, it just doesn’t have the front fins. FFAR’s don’t leave that much smoke as they are fired. Must have been a test of concept firing of an unguided round.

    Interesting… Why would the front fins be deleted. They are the steering mechanisms correct?

    AIM-9 from Ch-53E,that’s strange

    Thats not an AIM-9. Looks more like a FFAR.

    Are we talking AIM-9 Sidewinders only in this thread, or generic Sidewinder type missiles that were inspired by the original AIM-9 Sidewinder? Eg: Magic, PL-series, Atoll, Darter, Piranha, Python…..

    Any unusual IR AAM mounting. No need to limit ourselves!

    Just remembered this thread! Anyone got any more pics? P-3 maybe? Non-western aircraft with AIM-9’s?

    the uh60 are still alive because US still supplies the spare parts to the chinese using underground channel.

    continue dreaming when the canadian dollar is worthed 1.25 US dollars and the Yen has reached records values of 96 yen per a single US dollar

    What? One Canadian dollar buys .79 USD. That is a fact. You have it backwards. Read the news buddy.

    not specially against the Euro, canadian dollar and Yen

    Yes actually especially against the Euro and Canadian dollar. Canadian dollar is down nearly 25% against the USD since summer. Euro and pound are also dropping steadily.

    in fact many Chinese companies have lost value due to the dollar devaluation.

    Devaluation? Are you talking about currently? Dollar is looking pretty strong compared to most currencies right now.

    They can be classified as good as the European and Russian systems for sure.

    The J-10 radars are as good as the Israeli and Russian technology they are based upon, Israel has excellent radars and Russia too, China has probably mastered that technology they have already recieved, most Eurofighters have old radar technology and the same applies to the JAS-39, the current operational MiG-29s and Su-27 or Su-33 are the same even worst, so basicly they are on par to most operational aircraft fielded in Europe and Russia and even most fourth generation fighters in the US

    In future air wars the Chinese most likely will shock the world with the J-10

    Just screaming fan boy tonight aren’t we?

    The above paragraph has no qualifiers, makes no sense, has no proof and even contradicts itself by saying first Chinese radars are based on Russian therefore they are good. Then the last sentence states that Russian radars are worse then Eurofighters and Gripens.

    Grasping at straws at this point, this has degenerated into fan boy nonsense.

    NO i am not flat out wrong, a nation with aircraft manufacturing capability can build in a non total war economy easily 2 to 5 fighter jets a month.

    This is just to supply orders.

    MiG and Sukhoi easily can build for russia 5-10 aircraft a month if the money is available.

    however in a time of defence cuts its hard for Russia since they do not have a war economy but just Lockheed can deliver 2-4 F-16s a month and most of them for export customers

    see [B]Russia’s Sukhoi can produce up to 40 SU-35 aircraft a year – director-general (2008-07-08)

    SO if you calculate a nation like Russia and the US can easily build 100 fighter aircraft a year

    Are you kidding me? Trying to be funny maybe? 100 planes a year is NOTHING in a modern war, nothing. That will not even come close to attrition replacement. You just proved my point. You fight with what you start with, period.

    41 F-16’s in one year? In a modern war that could be lost in a matter of hours or days…

    You are flat out wrong.

    Your statement only holds true in a nuclear war, however in a conventional war between two nations is not true

    Flat out wrong. Sorry. Next…

    It the RAAF runs out of weapons needs exports to replace them or allies to base their aircraft in Australian soil, so the Australians have a compromised defence, that requieres that the currrent political situation remains the same all the time, if by any major reason it changes they are uncapable to defend themselves against a power like China or Russia that build their own weapons.

    This just shows even further how little you understand modern warfare. In todays modern war, you only get the weapons, platforms, planes, etc, that you start with. There is no speeding up assembly lines for F-35’s, J-10 etc. They are far too complex. This isn’t WWII, where you could outsource the making of a bomber to a car manufacturer. There will be NO new build attrition replacements in modern warfare. You get what you started with. Period.

    With sufficient investment Aircraft carrier is much easier trian than what was in 1960s. Aircrafts have TVC, excess thrust, fuel and can deliver bomb in all weather conditions within meters of targets from very high altitude. navigation, optical and communiction systems are very precise. Carrier landing and takeoff should not be a big problem. similar is the case with simulator technology with all its software and processor speed. It is the best time for making aircraft carriers as steel prices have considerably gone done and construction machinery has sufficiently advanced for large ships.

    Yea dude, not talking about putting bombs on target. We are talking about launching, trapping and deck movements… dropping bombs is easy compared to that.
