RE: MMW radar.

Just thought I’d throw a couple of pics in…

Good pics!

Keep them coming, there aren’t enough pics of Croatian forces on this forum.

RE: Bear of the week?

Rabie,

Are you sure? How good is your knowledge of wildlife anyway? Maybe Carling Premier is a species of bear.

Also, always quite liked polar bears, they’re quite powerful and quite intelligent – more than a match for any other bear.

RE: MMW radar.

Well, TI isn’t a perfect system – range is a problem as is weather and smoke (especially from burning tires 😉 ). Because armoured vehicles are so reflective MMW can look through light foliage and camo-netting easier than TI. Also, it can (at certain ranges) provide a near photographic image (minus the colour) and therefore be used to reliably id an enemy tank. As many nations are struggling with advanced TI (I still maintain that Russia is behind the west – hence the interest in British UAVs from Yug) MMW could be an interesting alternative. MMW is used by for Hellfires and Brimstone to fire at tanks – why not stick one on a tank to fire at other tanks?

RE: Armour

Are there any practical, economic or technological reasons why MMW radar cannot replace (or supplement) TI? Apart from tactical considerations (i.e. radar is an active sensor while TI is passive) I cannot see any reasons – besides, how many tanks are fitted with RWR? Apologies, this is not my field so I’m not entirely certain whether these questions are pointless or not – bear with me.

RE: Armour

Flanker,

Everything I have read (and every one to whom I have spoken) has indicated that the Russians are still about 5 to 10 years behind the west as far as TI technology is concerned. If you have information I hadn’t heard before I would very much appreciate it if you shared it on this forum.

RE: Armour

Flanker,

Re-read my post. Where did I say that the Russians were behind the west in tank design?
