По-моему, так же отсуствуют американские HEMTT: Без Челенжера, Меркави и Лео, наши ещё умеют как-то воевать, но - без Jessica Lynch? :no: Как?! ;) -SK

Так! Т-80БВ лётчику лучше не смотреть через Шквала, прежде танки противника! Нам надо цели, не ИИ, чтобы всё рушить вместо нас, и так избалуйть нам игру. Как теперь нам летать по МиГ-29, без никакого низколетаемого F-15E, чтобы рушить? :( Давайте Т-55, противника! -SK

Хм, да.. интересно! http://community.livejournal.com/foto_kpblm/81802.html http://www.kpbim.ru/MeG-showpic-pid-978-orderby-dateA.html -SK

Хм, а что такое на г. Бедене-Кыр, недалеко запад от Ялте? Наверно, не только ус.. http://geokrym.narod.ru/ufizzi/il/378.jpg http://studiamik.narod.ru/photo/West/Big/Ay_Petry.html -SK

Интересно, спасибо. А что такое "ус?" -SK

Yeah, let's look on the bright side.. At least it isn't covered with rainbow-coloured Floggers! :balloon: -SK

On a good day, maybe. ;) Am I the only one who thinks the Varyag pier looks nicer than the Kuznetsov pier? -SK

LOL! I like the question mark next to the words "in decay" :) Like, maybe it's a berth for Oscar-class submarines? ;) Ah, Russia... :) -SK

A well-informed Russian tells me: 'Now Russia has a PMTO (“point of material-technical supply”) in the Syrian port of Tartus inherited from the USSR times, and nothing more is planned for the near future. This PMTO includes one berth (the second has decayed by the present), two depots and one residential building (built in 1988 ) with parking. As they were in bad state, the repair has begun in 2005 and also dredging was ordered, because now the depth near the berth is too shallow for cruiser-like ships. Thus, the Tartus “base” can be used only for short rest and minimum resupply of little navy squadrons cruising in the Mediterranean or sailing towards the Indian Ocean in order to avoid constraining diplomatic formalities and excessive expenses. The facility is useful and suitable, but it should not be exaggerated. The main Syrian port of Latakia is actually modernized by the Russian firm now, but these arrangements (mostly dredging) are quite civil and bear no relation to the Russian Navy.' Judging from the description (i.e. one "berth," with a second one decayed), it sounds like he's most likely describing the two little piers attached to the breakwater at the extreme left of your screenshot. They do seem to lead to some kind of parking lot, but the only buildings around seem to be the ones near that Osa missile boat hauled up on dry land. Maybe that one's Russian too? There seem to be a lot of other patrol boats nearby that are obviously Syrian Navy though, and a sort of half-wall separating the buildings from the piers/parking. There does seem to be one floating vessel parked at the "berth" though. I don't suppose you can ID it? Maybe the Russians were paying a visit, the day this photo was taken. -SK

Now for a real challenge, where's that Russian berth in Tartus? -SK

Tsk tsk. "earthgoogler" sounded more sure of himself. http://bbs.keyhole.com/ubb/showthreaded.php/Cat/0/Number/439592/page/1/vc/1 ;) -SK

Ka-50 has them too. Some kind of Doppler antenna radomes for measuring altitude and ground speed, IIRC. Presumably because the pitot tube sensors aren't precise enough at low airspeeds, esp. to help the plot maintain an accurate hover, or because of wind. -SK

Я так же интересуюсь Т-55 - откуда вам идея? :) -SK

Is it my imagination, or did they just update Google Earth with some nice new imagery of Caucasus airbases? :) -SK

Что такое "8 ЯК" в Сочи, пожалуйста? http://warfare.ru/?linkid=2240&catid=321&image=1540 -SK

Maybe they are thinking, "oh no... not another English forum discussion about our looks... and our women..." :disgust: ;) -SK

An interesting theory. The first question would be - from where would UbiSoft get a copy of FC to give to Evolved in the first place, if not from ED itself? And for what purpose did ED think they were handing it over to UbiSoft, if not for Evolved to release it? And how did ED hand it over, without knowing what they were handing over? Sounds like a job for: ;) -SK P.S. back to original topic, thanks GG for forwarding a good post. Why isn't that guy's constructive criticism on this forum?

The tapered tail is called a "boat-tail." It reduces the aerodynamic form drag. It's present also on other missiles and even artillery shells. -SK
