horses might pull your boat along the river, but they sure can't fly, so no point in comparing jet engines to horses. ;) It all depends on how you want to fly that airplane. B-52 uses a low bypass, and Concorde used a no-bypass ;)

It's interesting that the MiG-21 manual states something like that, only a bit in reverse about the R-3: prop aircraft have a smaller heat signature, so that is why you have the radar version :) But that is anchient hystory...

hmm.. hard to find. there is some info at the manufacturers web site: http://www.amntksoyuz.ru/engines/airengines/history/#r79v-300/ but even there they only show the nozzle. btw, its bypass ratio is 0,81 edit - here's one:

they also had technology that was utterly inapropreate for the circumstances. from uniforms, gun oil to tank construction. saying that they were simply outnumbered is oversimplification, that would bite the ass of anyone who depended on it.

false, sorry you just forgot to include the airfield maintenance

No, he was very precise and right. It's not that those who don't upgrade would not be able to run it, but they would not see any benefit from the additional waiting time.

no, the myth that the ruggedness is a myth is a bigger myth :)

lol... I remember people getting their hopes up each time black shark site got down :D

It doesn't matter. If you loose contact with an airliner, you HAVE TO intercept it, according to international regulations..

It's harder to miss this way

I propose a nickname for it - X3, the Wobblecopter :D

ain't the first time..

it's a missile launch detector, part of the defensive package

and don't you love that big wooden prop

@Tez http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_stabilization as for post processing, I guess it gives you more options

60 minutes? That's a bit long :huh: Isn't there an interseption pair? Those should be in the air a lot faster, or they're defing own purpose.

Nice pit, but not a mig ;)

Yup, Russian pilots train there.. Google translate of the Russian wiki: http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=ru&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fru.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2F%25D0%259D%25D0%2598%25D0%25A2%25D0%259A%25D0%2590

Srećan rođendan, Kukislave :)

i was gasping for air for 5 minutes :D

Yes, that's what NITKA is ;) Su-25UTG landing at NITKA

..... NOT !!!!! :D

man...:doh: I use to watch Discoveries Unlimited and Beyond 2000 at that age :/ Not only that. You will also have all FC2 aircraft in DCS level, and that's more important ;)
