. . . serbian J-22 Orao/Eagle vs F/A-18 . . . :lol:

. . . well I try Ricardo's pit for Su-25T but it didn't suit to me. Somehow I found it's to much "sterile" for me . . . I think that cyrillic alphabet and russian Bety is must have ! Without that russian birds loss the essence . . . Can't imagine russian's birds without: ПУСК РАЗРЕШО, ВКЛ, ДВИГАТЕЛ, АТАКA . . . :smilewink: . . . mother Russia :wub:

. . . Russian cockpits can not be without cyrillic alphabet, it is sacrilege! ! ! :shocking:

Grazzie :)

Well, after more then 30 years I doubt that any Stingers (if is left some) are still operational. One is for sure, I would not dare, due to age, to fire from that thing :music_whistling: PS. I read somewhere that CIA already take care of it . . . they,allegedly, buy out from mujaheddin . . .

. . . sorry about my ignorance :cry:, but can You translate me "34k", "10k" (?) . . . They didn't teach us this kind of stuff in English classes . . . :book:

. . . Пуск Разрешо . . . А Г О Њ ! ! ! :D

not quiet for free! After that education You must work out couple years in service and then You are free to go. Other wise You must pay for all Your education . . .

. . . Top Gun, Tom Cruise and Kelly McGillis to blaim :D

From my perspective (frog perspective from the mud :smilewink:) they look like elite to me :D.

Well, I ask this because pilots are the elite in every army in the world . . .

C-mon guys, You are talking with army sargent with more then 15 years of army life :music_whistling: - so please give me a break with "what if . . . " @swtx - thx, that was I'm looking for :thumbup:.

. . . well it's not polite to ask about someone salary but I wonder how much money makes pilot's in different air forces . . . especially US Navy and USAF ?! I ask that because I watched some videos and it's obvious that pilot's have lot of fun during these flights . . . and just imagine to do the things that You love and being payed for that ! ! ! That's the perfect job . . .

. . . :doh:, just now I realized Your point . . .:doh::)

. . . gone with the wind . . . I think that the guy who worked on it give up :( . . . I was thinking about some company would produce such piece of equipment :music_whistling:

. . . if I'm so smart :smartass: then I would built the whole aircraft . . . Tupoliev Tu-144 for instance . . . :lol: I'm just like p'n'p - plug and play . . . :D

I had in mind something like this one : :joystick:

. . . sorry not enough Russian :D ! ! !

. . . well, imperialist from the West will get very soon their fancy Warthog joystick :thumbup: . . . and what about us comrades :( !? How come there is no any replica of Russian style pilot stick . . . :joystick: взделано в СССР

. . . this one is god :megalol: ! Watch out for the KGB or GRU . . . You might hurt their filings . . . and for the Israeli, I want to say that they take piece of some equipment ("our" Mercury for instance), do the changes and modifications (reduce weight, increase range for spotting the targets . . .) and then sold again to us . . . :smilewink: (I read how Israeli improved boom for AAR that was in service in USAFA and than Americans must paid for that modification :megalol: . . . ) . . . but any way,find that Russians already work on new opto-electronic systems (as Boberro mention . . . )

ok, you won ! . . . russians suck in opto-electronics . . . :cry: . . . but that's the moment when the israely comes and do the upgrading . . . :P odbiór !

. . . after some research : . . . although it's Skhval, every target is in range less than 3 Km ! ! ! The 3rd target is at the range at 3 km and it's completely unrecognized . . . So, the Mercury pod is probably even worse due to night conditions :cry: . . . . . . do piekła, odbiór ! :D

c-moon, can't be so bad ! I admit that russian/soviet equipment can be very large and heavy but also it's very simple and efficient in use . . . Nie wierze ! :D

. . . we are trying to find out that :book:. . .

well, it's little beat strange, the picture. . . It must be taken from the aircraft that stand on runway, because the T-55 is in the same level like aircraft . . . . . . hmm, I shell make the experiment :smartass: ! I will take picture of T-55 from approximate 1 km and let we see how it will look like . . . just give me couple of days. (. . . I just hope that I will not be arrested by military police because of espionage :D . . .) PS. thanks for the tip about the settings.
