Well.. if it can shoot down an Su-7, it MUST be the best

He's a poor actor, but it's a cool video :)

It's not about the jet. It's about rust. Everything it went against had it.

If Su-30 is packing BARS, you can simply forget about first look.

Some aircraft captured by rebels earlier, incl. Galeb G2-E

SAMs will not likely be used until there is a threat of ground invasion.

MiG-23 shot down (second video on the page)

is that a belt driven prop?

This is claimed to be a video of a missile hitting a NATO jet over Serbia in 1999. http://www.armyinfoforum.org/Armyblog/index.php/2009/03/26/pogadjanje-nato-aviona/ First video is higher quality upload with some text and intro added. Second one is an earlier upload at lover resolution.

Not everyone can afford to destroy the entire fleet of some type just because someone else has it ;)

The combat record is: until you can see rust - don't touch it.

there was nothing mythical about it among its users. all the myths resided in the west. some of them might have been planted by the likes of KGB and such, but most came about from the enemy not having a clue, like many times before and after. for pilots who flew it, it was just a tool for their job, and most would fly a trabant if they needed, but weren't one bit suicidal.

"Soon" being some 30 years later, after it was phased out...

Put the end of a vacuum cleaner tube next to a wall on a very cold day, and you will see it "bend light" :)

why in the world would someone rest the faith of hundreds of people on an Apple :noexpression: (on any SOHO class gadget for that matter)

Yes, but that is still an actuator :)

Description if you hover mouse above it: ;)

markers for optical tracking

And then you shoot down an F-4 :)

War games in the middle of Belgrade :) "Ušće 2011" Mi-8, MiG-29, Gazela, G-4, An-26, and some AAA fire in the background :)
