  1. No infra red pants in a Pantsir. It means body armour ;)
  2. ___________________________________________________ I take no responsibility if you injure or kill your self reading this. DO NOT play with electricity. ___________________________________________________ First, you are throwing around the lethal current values like it's a football. The exact value depends on many factors, but generaly 100mA will be lethal. But what will make that current flow? A car battery will happily put out 50A if you put a wire accross its poles (until it catches fire), but if you touch it you will not go up in flames. How come a source capable of producing 50A currents is not killing you? It's our old friend voltage. A wire has low resistance, so it will let high currents pass even at low voltage (usually 12V with a car battery). Human body has high resistance (1000-100.000 Ohms, again depending on conditions) so you need more force (ie. higher voltage) if you want to push current thru it. Generally, a value of 50V is taken as enough. If your skin is really dry that day, even 100V may leave you standing. In extreme cases, with people who have an illness that prevents their sweat glands from working can handle even higher voltages. Example . Now let's take a cigarette ligher, the one that makes a little ark to light the flame. This ark will be 10000V+ but will not kill you. Why? The little magnet inside can't produce high currents. The maximum current it can produce is so low that even if the voltage has no problems going thru your skin, it will do you no harm. Note the maximum current thing. Even if a source is capable of producing high current, the actual current passing thru you is limited by your body's resistance and the source voltage. Low voltage, low max amps = Ok Low voltage, high max amps = Ok High voltage, low max amps = Ok High voltage, high max amps = not ok
  3. I find it bad taste, at least, lecturing Ohm's law on a topic dedicated to an event where people have died.
  4. You Sir, know absolutly notthing about electricity. :noexpression:
  5. No, it needs to detect it more than 4-6 seconds before it gets to Rmin edit: gg beat me to it :D
  6. will use.. when (if) it gets released ;)
  7. It's not ours to rule out or confirm anything. Btw, a few days ago I was on the roof when lightning struck a lighthing rod on that roof 5m from me. Unique feeling. Made my hair go up. The funny thing is, the router (PC based) on the roof, grounded by that lighnig rod didn't even reboot, let alone fry. On the other hand, we've had noumerous failures on our equipment during lighning storms when it was kilometers away.. You never know with lightning..
  8. Yeah, they smoke like hell on Максимал, but not at all on AB :)
  9. It would have no problem destroying the HUMRAAM from 5km :D
  10. yeah, we know :) MiG-29 low pass
  11. it blends in with a russian cockpit, so it will be dificult to see at close range :D
  12. Serbian Gazelle doing cool stuff :)
  13. J-22 Orao Miodrag Ristić Čenej Airshow 2009 rehursal
  14. Eurofighter visits Pleso air base
  15. when you turn away, don't you loose weapon datalink
  16. Batajnica Airbase near Belgrade Outdated shots before the second runway was repaired, craters still visible.
  17. but what does it have to do with anything :D it's good if you want to bbq some meat, but it's not gonna make you go any faster :)
  18. An AESA can freq hop and split beams all day long, but its peak output power is still weaker than the return of a MiG-25's radar sweep :) (given a non-low-RCS target)
  19. It counts as a starting point for suicide therapy :D
  20. That's too bad, but I guess that serviceing K-36 from there would be a pain.
  21. that + your engines point backwords for a moment ;)
  22. Asymmetric loading limits your max G. It does not make you unflyable.
  23. No. It compensates on every output.
