Thought you said about the AGM-158 :stupid:. Yes they’ve tested Storm Shadow. It’s been around 2002-present. Initially, the Eurofighter Typhoon will begin to recive Storm Shadow in 2014. While Tornado, Rafale, and Mirage 2000 have been having storm shadow
…flight tested (with a Typhoon)?
It’s the same for Captor-E and Storm Shadow, trials are currently underway
Has the Storm Shadow already been flight tested?
Hi everybody,
does anyone know how much is an IPA heavier than a current production aircraft?
Thanks in advance.
The number i mentioned should give you a start.
(SM-57…) Thank you very much.
I thought the new SM3 pods were all external mounted, you sure this is definitely not SM3?
Also what is the deal with the delivery pace….10 were supposedly already delivered in 2013, but the plan was for 12 this year, and I have trouble believing it was done THAT early. Left overs from 2012?
I think these could be upgraded airframes that were not delivered in time in 2012. Or just shuffled from another location.
Do you know how many Su-25SMs have been delivered till early 2012?
finally, a few pics from my external walkaround of the new kid in the town.
…MiG-29M2?

Awesome! Where can I get a hi-res? Thanks.
I tried to google it (search by image) but it seems there is no HQ version…


Nothing official, and i doubt we will see it soon. Su-47 dimensions are still secret i think. It is supposedly 13.95m, but that is not “official”. However, it sounds very reasonable if you compare to Flanker. From 13.95, one can work out the length roughly basing on the official patent drawing…
…and a rough estimation of the weapons bays lenght and width with the help of this image.
Did Flateric’s image refer to this section of the aircraft?
Is there an official statement about the T-50’s wingspan?
Why is single-axis vector thruster called 2D, and dual axis 3D? Looks like they both have one surplus dimension in naming 😉

The RAF (http://www.raf.mod.uk/equipment/mauserandaden.cfm) states: The cannon is a single-barrel, high performance, breech-cylinder gun operated by a fully automatic electrically fired gas-operated system at a selective rate of 1000 or 1700 rounds per minute.
Nico Sgarlato and Angelo Falconi (Panavia Tornado, Delta Editrice) report the same rates of fire.
