Its KNAAPO. That plant finished chinese contracts and was short of orders. Now it have time to wait for next big chinese contract.

Its over with Chineese you stupid,thats what everyone here was warning government about now they have their licence production ,tooling,etc.
Some more equipment will be sold and thats that…Cooperation will continue with sophisticated equipment ,with new radars,warnings and self-defence systems ,engines and thats that.No new planes!

Komsomolsk Su-30MK2 flew down there, so I would not be so sure of Irkutsk…it’ll be Komsomolsk.

Too much involved with MKI (French, Israeli, Indian subsystems) for Russia to do a unilateral sales deal with Chavez on this…hence, Komsomolsk and the much less sophisticated (and politically/economically easier) Su-30MK2…

LOOKing at the price 1 billion i would say KOMSu as divided by the 30 Su-30 is 30mil for 1 Su-30.thats about that price range,their craft.not the best type but still very potent .[and available for more upgrades latter :)].Government was cautios little bit since this is first Sukhois in western hemisphere…I think this is just a start of our great cooperation…

as per latest reports the test did not meet parameters due to inflight snags and can be classed a failure/partial success max. So there will certainly be more A3 tests going fwd.

2nd stage failed to separate at height of 12km and missile fell into sea.

that seems slightly not high enough for 1st stage detachment.
whats its speed at 12km separation height or its classified?

Seduce a B2 pilot – oh thats a classic 🙂 .Operation Seduction begins!

It just might work,hmmm lets offer him lots of money ,and 100 virgins 🙂 .Nice joke.
Seriously now,the scenario is this,russia and china would like to get their hands on pieces of b-2spirit.We will use Satelite radar tracking,give exact flight path and time schedule to Iranians,they saturate the area with missiles at precise time.Or quickly send fighter to destroy it since if flies alone!! :dev2: It shouldnt be difficult as they will relax and start to use same paths.We gave it to Serbia and they shoot down f-117a with more stealth then oversized b-2,or semi-stealth compromise supermanuverable supercruising solution named F-22. 😎
Sometimes i wonder when i hear epic stories about glorious american armies conquest/ what have this guys been smoking?:rolleyes:
They couldnt win in vietnam with 3,5 time less population and less training then Iran,couldnt invade a 10mil. population of serbia,made a “victory” in a much smaller in population and in size afganistan thank to support from nort aliance [wich is pro-iranian 🙂 ],[still lot of spots in there where its not safe],cant win an insurgency of 7 milion rebbel suni in iraq….And they want to invade a country thats bigger then iraq and afganistan combined and has a 70+ million population,and is better prepared.With what soldiers?Rebbelions in afganistan and iraq would double in size.usa will have very few soldiers to controll situation and terrain,it would be stretched to thin and destroyed….
That would just be a mass murder of american soldiers….Best u.s.a. can do is establish some no-fly zones at best,and put sanctions on iran but the trade over the caspian to Russia will continue at worst.So there is NOTHING u.s.a. can do,dont you get it,if they could they would have done it so far.
Now nucear instalations are spead all over country like their most advanced planes its in irans doctrine!Strikes would delay a-bomb but not for very long.And after strikes iran would retaliate dont you doubt it.CIA is frantic in searching for agents in usa but still cant find them.
Now some word about long-wave radars,old tech,radio-amateur can make antennas with less 2.000 euros.Simple,cheap,modular structures and electronics cabin can be connected to antenna with long cables for protection.After sead aircraft destoroy them simply build hudreds more out of [for exa. P-16 16 -modules actually not very big in 2 rows by 8 antennas(4,5methers wide) on a simple truck]and reconnect them.I think cruise missiles are way more expencive.Put thousands of false radar beacons around,and truck ,tank ,tor,..decoys, ,,shut down your real AD network for a while and after they think they whiped you out turn it all at once….And they will fall like flies.99% of aircraft in that operation will not be stealthy and will suffer.If they stop shooting at decoys then could put a real thing amongst them.

Radiation leaves everlasting effect on genetic material.Nikita insisted the test to take place.Tu-95 used right outboard turbine powering props directly or reactor-turbine cycle.it was leaking oufcourse and people on runaway was effected and to save weight shields didnt protect crews 100%.the rpm regulation turned out to be main problem and with all the radiation and weight it wasnt practical.The system worked for couple minutes each time,and then the engine would be shut down.
However for the high altitude,endurance,unmanned aircraft this source would be perfect.

The Webmaster made the decision, we Mods had nothing to do with it. I’m as suprised as you guys are..

In that case u are worthless [as a connection between member-admins]… RESIGN!!![as a mod].

You can’t have the password because there isn’t one (and I don’t think we could hand it out if there was!), it’s asking for your password. Only it won’t work, because you don’t have admin rights on your account. But if there’s something in particular you remember that you want to have, let me know and I will find it.

Like this link?How do we get other topic back when it requires pass u dont have? 😮
SHAME!
