Apparently, the new batch of Hellducks are supposed to start being delivered to their base (Voronezh?) about 24th of December, if all goes well (i need to look again for the link with these news)
Here it is :

Lockheed Wins $563M Export Order for F-16s
Who are they for ?:confused:
All T-50-4 pics available in one folder , thanks to Vladimir_75 @paralay.com
We love you KnAAPO.:)
Guys i hope some of you saved them all, it’s very slow for me here ( must be traffic!) and i’m very late for my daily chores! Can someone put them in one file like Flateric did with the previous high-rez ones? Thank you ( i hope they won’t disappear before i get back!)
Thanks. Do you know if they plan to upload a T-50-4 gallery in the near future?
(Darn, if i could, i’ll give them a server for free so that they can upload pics of their birds in high-rez for us fanboys. And pretty sure i ain’t the only one thinking like that :))
Why do you bother Haavarla, you’re wasting your time. Ignore the trolls (or sock-puppets?).
Hoping everything goes as planned , does anyone knows about when 50-4 is scheduled to do it’s flight transfer to LII ? I presume sometime in the next year ?
Any idea as to why the high rez pics dissapeared from KnAAPO’s site? 🙁
Was also hoping that by now the otherwise excellent PR department of KnAAPO would have uploaded a T-50-4 gallery. Can it be superstition, or is it linked with the disapearance of the large pics? (i know Su-35S-4 f.e. was not featured, it’s been first photographed when in or on the way to Akhtubinsk)
Anyway, just small things.:)
OR a bot that pretends to be chinese, spilling anti-russian (or other) stuff about and looking to seed discord between chinese and russians (and others), damaging the image of the chinese etc etc. I bet you tigershark and panyimao are not chinese.
Divide and conquer as they say. Wanna take a guess as to whom such a state of events will benefit most?
Anyway, lets not respond to obvious baiting and trolling in this thread , let’s focus on the news and discussion on what is arguably the most impressive ( and certainly the best looking) fifth gen out there.:)
🙂

Pretty sure that Skyray must have had a strong german Lippisch influence on it (like pretty much everything back in those years.):)
The first picture is unknown to me, thanks Gerard! I assume it’s an yugoslavian /serbian bis? Anyone knows when these dispensers started to be used on yugoslavian MiG-21s? Before 1991 perhaps?
PS: Yes the Lancers have IMI (MPMS-36(V)?) dispensers, while the Ugandan MiG-21bis have also israeli made dispensers. Speaking of the israelis, anyone knows on which country’s MiG-21 are these dispensers fitted? ( very similar to the ones on Lancer, but obviously that’s not romanian)
Hellduck 21 red.:)

Right, the link i posted above does not work anymore. Meanwhile, couple more pics of MiG-21 in Warpac or Warpac alligned countries fitted with chaff@flares dispensers.
First check Sainz’s posts here, very interesting.

Pictures posted by Sainz:

Secondly , this is apparently an Yugoslav mod on their MiG-21s, have no idea how this dispenser is called ( or if it was used on large scale). I don’t think it’s the ASO-2, must be indigenous.

Great picture Sainz, new to me, thank you. If by any chance you stumble upon more pics of MiG-21’s with the ASO-2I, or some drawings of it even, please do post them here, there’s a topic on the subject of countermeasures on the MiG-21 made some time ago:

Thank you again.
I have missed these news somehow, on December 10th two AAF MiG-29s collided during a night training mission (on the algerian fora the collision is said to have happened at supersonic speed). Both pilots were killed.

Rest in peace to the fallen pilots.
