For you SuperKungFu!10 min of working:)

I spoke about this earlier and somebody asked if I could provide more info. Whell, here it is. Since it was unable to operate a larger number of airforce missions (for vareious reasons: cost, shortage of spare parts, enemy with far grater number of aircraft), but had a large supply of air2air missiles it was decided to put them in use as SAMs. First atempts were seen in early '90s, with truck mounted AA 2 Atoll (R-3) from MiG-21. It had poor performance due to Atol being rear hemisphere only, and missieles were old aged and often detonated right after leaving launch rail, and sometimes not detonating at target. In early '99. new version was developed with R-60 (model RL-2 and RL-3) and R-73 (with model RL-4) mounted on praga and brdm's. Control was done from the wehicles cabin and software was developed for automated searching for a target. These models undergone quick testing process that lasted only a few days and then put into active service. Since the rockets were desinged to be fired from an aircraft where thay had initial momentum, range was limited when used from standstill. So, a new model was developed, the RL-4M. It had unguided 240 mm rocket booster mounted to R-73. No specific data is provided for actual war time performance, but it is sayed it had success against cruise missiles and UAVs. The seeker proved to be very good, sometimes detecting targets 25 km away at 15000m in ideal conditions, much further than even the boosted version kinematic range. :joystick: Sources: airserbia, aeromagazin

Its about time to give her her own thread ;) This is the latest as of today File quota exceeded! hosted them on lockon forum server:

NoseGear..Almost there When this part is totally finished,fitted and properly animated, a major milestone in finalising the model would be reached. NB. To chizh or forum admin, Is it possible to increase my file attachment capacity, Im running out of space.

That would be nice.

It doesnt need to be said, his actions speak volumes.

Satan you are such an ignorrent prick. It has to be said.

In the last F22 thread, I posted (then removed the post) that we need a forum rule that states: The F22 pwns all. That way, when somebody wants to argue otherwise, or about how a Typhoon or Su-XX or something else might give it a fair fight, we can say 'Uh-uh buddy, read the FAQ/rules, ok?!' This would purely be in the interests of saving time and effort, regardless of what the actuall F22 can or can't do. I now know I shouldn't have removed the post the last time I wrote this, so here it is again!
