Then it gets shot down by trees :D

@Ghostraider
As far as I can see, that only governs interception of civilian aircraft.
One of the documents to the UN mentions some rules of engagement changed in 2012. Does anyone have those?

Holding a camera and flying low altitude...( talking about multitasking)
It's a two-seater ;)

I've heard in a video that in the MiG-15 you get about 6 applications. o.O

Currently, the RPM gauge drops down to 0 when you turn off DC power. It should not. The RPM gauge (ИТЭ-2) does not need electric power other than it gets from its sensor. The instrument connects via two 3-pin connectors to a pair of pickups (ДТЭ-6) mounted on the engine, one for HPR and one for LPR.

I remember when this bug was corrected on Su-25T years ago. :)

And actually, the preferred method is steady pressure, not pumping. I know that some new pilots chewed through the brakes in just a few flights by pumping them. (IRL)

BMD-2 air-drop over Serbia GoPro from the vehicle!

A tragic event not far from where I live today. A brand new SkyLeader 600 crashed during an opening ceremony for a new private airport. The airport owner who flew it and one passenger were killed.
The crash was captured on video that can be found here.

> R-3S if I want to deliberately handicap myself to take on weaker opponents without stomping them
> R-3R if you want the all aspect ability that radar-guided missiles offer
No, the point of having radar guidance on R-3R is not the all-aspect ability. The (real) manual describes that it is to be used on propeller driven aircraft that have a much smaller IR signature and would be hard for the R-3S to lock on.

In fact, some scenarios when MiG-21bis went against (or shall we say tried to do its business and not get shot down by) F-15Cs and F-16Cs (or F-16A MLUs) carrying AMRAAM and AIM-9M happened in 1999 during the NATO bombing of Serbia.
No, only MiG-29 was used for air combat. MiG-21 was used for ground attacks. In a few instances, the 21s were armed with R-60x4, but never took off in such configuration.

Do away with the canards (limits speed) and side by side canopy and that would be beautiful.
Side by side is great actually, if you can manage to have it.

That video is a classic. I can recognize it just by listening to the first few seconds :)

Likewise!

I just remembered this thread of mine. Eight years later, things are not so fun. :|

In a defense situation, why would you go against F-22 with your top dog anyway? A combination of MiG-21 drones and MiG-25 would be my choice. Or just MiG-21s. I bet there are more of them than operational deployable amraams anyway.

Info was from Bosnian MOD. I'm glad that it's wrong or has changed. EULEX is also helping. Several private helicopters, one of which from Hungary also arrived.
EDIT: info was from 15th of may

Worst floods in 120 years hit Balkans (mainly Bosnia and Hercegovina and Serbia). Serbian police and military helicopters rescue people from flooded areas and deliver food and medication. Civilian volunteers are also helping with boats and trucks. About 7000 people are filling sand bags and placing them on the river banks.
Help is also arriving from Russia, Slovenia, Hungary, Croatia, Macedonia, Israel, Czech Republic and others.
One force that has plenty of resources in the area but is NOT helping EUFOR. They officially refused to use their helicopters for rescue.

That would be very hard (expensive) to do and they don't have much reason to do it.

Hobby rockets were very popular when I was growing up, least in my world. Adding guidance to them as part of that hobby doesnt seem like something to get you on the no fly list, no more so than talking about learning how to be come proficient in simulated arial combat, which I assume you do a lot here?
Actually, in most countries having ANY kind of guidance on your model rockets is illegal, so it WILL get you on the no fly list.. at least your rockets :)
As for using a home made missile for shooting down aircraft... Don't see why anyone would do that when you can simply buy real ones.

That was an engine failure.
