No idea if Skyflash is actually used by Oman, Malaysia, or Indonesia. I have only seen photos with sidewinders, but there are not many MK200 photos around. So who knows?

The Hawk 200 has 11 hardpoints(2 Wingtip, 8 wing, 1 under-fuselage) so max load-out could theoreticaly be 4 AIM-9L(2 outboard wing pylon, 2 wingtip), 2 Skyflash/AMRAAM(Inboard wing pylon) and 1 250 Gallon fuel tank under the fuseage.

AMRAAM is just theoretical I assume, as the 3 MK200 operating nations would not be cleared by the US for AMRAAM sales.

TNI-AU dont have any skyflash, nor AIM-9L
our Hawk use AIM-9P4 (these are standard on our western planes) and FFAR rocket. The 209 can use AGM-65G but rarely carry it….

the plane looks obsolete…. remind me to early mirage III :diablo:

Hi,

do you know the colour deck of the Parchims class Corvette?
Indonesia operates Parchim-I Project 133.1 or Parchim-II Project 133.1M class corvettes?
Do you have any idea of the colour references used on Indonesia Parchims?

BTW Parchim-I and Parchim-II are produced by Kombrig at 1/700 scale.

the deck is very very very dark grey– almost black…
If I could find the old mag about it ill put a photo here….

It’s like comparing a Lada with a Peugeot

better analogue is Mirage 2000 vs MiG-35 :diablo:

Certainly a pretty a little thing. Good way of putting the reasonably good manufacturing skills of the old military industrial complex to good use in the civilian sector too. But surely they could have come up with something more imaginative than Superjet?:rolleyes:

what u means imaginative ? add thrust vectoring and being the first airliner capable of cobra maneuver ? using KM-36DM as passenger seat for increased safety ? :diablo:
unfortunately the conservative airliner dont like those features…. for them nowadays it is fuel/km that matter…..

IMO the ships wont be too useful. too few grad to be useful (8 iirc)… and what the ship for ? bombarding enemy coastal ? ships are too small to cross the ocean. Bombarding their own motherland ? (the special part called chechnya and such ?)… they might frozen in winter river and became sitting duck.

I like the idea of artillery warship but plz put it on serious platform plus…
They should put 1-2 batteries of extended range smerch….:dev2:

Kazan Helicopters is a RUSSIAN company – based in Kazan city on the river Volga.

It was a production plant of the Mil OKB.

They have recently started their own design – the Ansat being one of them.

They have also developed an Armed Reconaissance version using the Ansat dynamics with a new tanden two seat fuselage.

I took the accompanying photos at MAKS a week ago….

They also make the ‘Aktai’ – a small piston engined light helicopter.

Check out their website at :- http://kazanhelicopters.com/index.php

Why they copy Hughes 500 and early Mangusta ?:eek:

It flew and demonstrated low RCS against then state of the art radars. Compared to a simple mockup yes indeed, it is a big deal.

Sorry must disagree…
In fact Have blue life begun with silly mockup too. And the mockup is totally silly much worse than skat.. much less airworthy.
