    FAE 807 shotdown a peruvian Sukhoi SU-22 during a war in 1995.

    Wow ! Do you have a link about the story ?

    I must say, I’d be curious to have a summary of the F-1’s complete combat record. This plane saw action in many conflicts of various intensity and seems to have performed very honorabily…

    No.. It was F1EQ-4.. #4563 with Kh-29L laser guided A-G missile

    And I believe the laser target designator system was an ATLIS II pod, right ?
    Because the picture is far from clear, here…

    Goiong back to the exocet-equipped Mig-23; how good was its radar in Air-to-sea role ? I have my doubt about its efficiency is that domain. Or have the iraqi modified the radar for air to surface role ? or have they replaced it by something more appropriate ?

    Merlock… Some days I wish I was there, alas, I only post the photos – its my buddy who has to work in it (oh what a bad bad boy he must have been in a previous life) I’ll just settle for the glorious (dust free) high20s – low 30s of south eastern Canadian summer and drool over the subject matter.

    If you don’t mind my question, what is your friend’s job ?

    And here’s another ‘Regional Airport’ I think the translation is a bit off. (I’m not positive but I believe its actually Batha.)

    I’m not sure, but I think I read “A?roport du Premier D?cembre de Baha?”.
    Meaning “Baha?’s First of december Airport”

    First of december ? Is it Chad’s day of independence ?

    And some of the Government troops as mentioned previously… gotta love the ‘urban’ camouflage on their kit… fits right in at the local laundromat. (note the somewhat ‘secretive’ vantage point of the photograph)

    An old friend of mine is an officer in the french army who spent some time in Chad, he had many things to say about Chad’s Government’s troops. All not very kind.
    Your friend is right, it’s better to take the pictures cautiously…

    As i recall,recently an Polish Su-22 pilot made couple of posts on this forum.Maybe he will notice this topic and write something in favour of the Su-22 :rolleyes:

    I always had a soft spot for the Su-17/22. First because I think it looks really cool, but also because it is a rather impressive strike planes in terms of payload and accuracy, plus they have a reputation of being really sturdy and reliable… all that makes a good combat aicraft, IMHO, and I think Poland has been well inspired to keep them as long as possible.

    Just my two cents… 😉

    I suppose the following will be the answer to all those anomalies.

    Jane’s Defence Weekly reported that the next stage of the development will utilise small turbo-jet drives, as used on unmanned aerial vehicles, allowing jumpers to be carried longer distances without jumping from such extreme heights.

    So, the Rocketeer finally came true!! GREAT!! 😀
