Pilotasso

I also read that once F-14's were sent to train with Israeli pilots. The tomcats were handily outclassed in the WVR arena by the netz. The F-14 was deceptively agile for its size, but was still below the falcon in that regard simply because they were designed to specialize at different envelopes.

well... :) kSlnAhSxPWY

heh, but by how much?

I have doubts about that text. They have no scientific basis to come up with those numbers whatsoever. The article should be taken as someone's opinion and nothing more than that.

corner speed is at 350. Once at 6 o'clock it'll be hard to shake the guy off regardless of aircraft performance differences between 2 jetfighters of same generation.

I believe some of the details of the original TIE could not be achieved with a model any smaller than this. This was evident when making the cockpit area, and the details at the center of the panels. This is 1600 pieces VS 1500 of the X wing. The later would have to be in the region of 2500 pieces in order to get it to the same scale (B wing likely up to 3000). That would be 300$ plus worth of LEGO.

here we go gents. For those who intend to build one and haven't yet, letting you know it's best to build both panels at the same time rather than coming back for the 2nd time. It takes some time to build them and repeating can be tiresome. The cockpit took some 45 minutes and the panels about 3,1/2 hours. Look how the Tie dwarfs the X wing making it look like the playable version of it in the last picture (they are at different scales). It sets a new standard for UCS.

That's still better than the Mig21 (in theory), as the migs corner speed can only be attained well under 300nm/h. If you make it a fast dogfight your guaranteed to outturn the mig every time. It's an older generation plane.

guys, I'm building the UCS tie fighter now, to make company to my X wing. :) So far got the cockpit module done, but the side panels are 2/3 of the work and are the next step. Will post pics of the build soon.

^^^^ that was a momentous achievement. heres why explained: 7kTozZDlxJg

The first video is 1 year old, cant be Russia then.

First re-susable rocket success! :eek: 9pillaOxGCo

givem hell

It gets better than that. haven't you heard? they are developing DCS F-5. :)

risky as hell

:megalol: sorry ;)

Alfa, the RVV-AE is an export missile only supposedly using commercially available components due to original manufacturer AGAT being located in Ukraine after the USSR splitup. The RVV-SD is the new domestic all Russian and improved version.

LOL you exaggerate a bit. If you dig in in the thousands of productions today you will still find real gems.

these missiles strayed inside Iran where they detonated. Indeed I was wondering where they were being fired at when I saw these videos.

Several cruise missiles fired from the Russian navy yesterday detonated inside Iran. meanwhile Assad's regular army advances its armoured columns under the protection of RuAf but the rebels are picking them up as they show up with little difficulty (using western anti tank missile systems). All this is very reminiscent of the Afghan campaign in the 80's. I am baffled by this strategy.

the left wing seemed to lean into the left dangerously on some of those landing.
