Very nice site, keep up the good work 🙂
Comments (constructive please) welcome.
Can you change the thumbnail selector so you don’t have to click on the arrows all the time? I prefer horizontal scroll bars or pages of thumbnails 😮
The Angle Rate Bombing System (The ARBS is a combined TV camera tracker and laser spot tracker) and the Laser Rangefinder and Marked Target Seeker (LRMTS) are best described as ‘smart systems for delivering dumb bombs’, the pilot or FAC does the targeting and the ARBS or LRMTS provides the information for weapon release.
Im interested in the missiles carried in these pictures, Brimtone?
Would Brimstone be a suitable replacement for Sea Skua?
I think Brimstone would be a good replacement for Sea Skua as it’s a fire and forget weapon and it can hit targets at sea and on land, but I expect the range of a Brimstone is less than a Sea Skua (15km?) when fired from a helicopter.

2nd and 3rd pics, Putting a Pylon in place. Members of 37 Squadron Royal Engineers put in place a Pylon for Electricity On the 19th February 2004. The idea was to have a Chinook Helicopter to lift the pylon up into the air by hoist and place it in the correct spot.

Here is a F-16 UCAV concept with 12x AMRAAM and a model of a Predator B UAV with 10x Hellfires.
