  1. Cause it was a bad deal. First of all what made Poland so eager to sell 'em?! They just got 'em few years back...They don't sell any jets from their Malbork sqn... Secondly, it's a '80s aircraft outdated by today's standars. I just watched "Jagerpilotene" 'bout RNoAF 338th Sqn with pilots craving for F-35 with their Falcons being close to their life expectancy of 8.000 flight hours.
  2. Probably posted b4, Syrian tanks vs rebels: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AshmKAU_goM It's amazing how Syrian tank drivers manage to drive thru these streets without crashing into buildings or debris.
  3. During Yugoslavia Years Very close to Zagreb was the largest overhauling plant in EUROPE. Its almost abandoned now with lots od stuff missing. Iraqi floggers Were refurbished here back in 89 . MIG MAPO offered Croatia to reequip the Plant to once again maintain MiG aircraft of european armies. As YOU can see It never happened si Croatia can maintain rest od its fleet in Plants looking quite funny IMO.
  4. Well it's been debated numerous times here in Croatia however no agreements or contracts signed do far. Various tenders Are in question from SAAB with lease of Gripen up to used turkish and dutch Falcons. Best offer came from Russia with MiG35 as they would also Invest in Croatian factories for spare parts AND overhaul od mig jets. However croatian balls are held by Bruxelles AND NATO stating its not western equipment
  5. Is it a Kuz or some Indian version of it? Helos and jets Are Russian
  6. IMO F-18 from Jane's was full of s**t...:smilewink: Unless you can calculate you sholdn't be flying...:smartass: Speed of 360km/h should cover 1km in 10 secs. So when ATC says: fly 320 for 18 you do the following: - Fly 320 for 3 minutes (180secs) maintaning your average approach speed of 360km/h to reach ILS fix. When you wingman (leader) calls: fly 180 for 20 You do the next: - Fly 180 for 1:40 minutes (100secs) maintaining your average cruising speed of 720km/h. Now you see why imperial units simply suck big time...I never flew F-15C, A-10A, or german MiG-29A with LOMAC and FC simply because of imperial units.
  7. It's a great website indeed.
  8. They're there to support actual civil unrest on the streets of Kiev... just kidding ;) General overhaul of 5 Croatian MiG-21bis Fishbed L + purchase of additional 5. Croatian Fishbed fleet was made of 12 aircraft (10*bis and 2*UD) in March 2013. Last overhaul and upgrade was done in 2003 in Romania so 10 years later it's time for doing it again. These 5 "new" fighers are to replace 5 Coroatian ones gone FUBAR. Ukraine also upgrades Croatian Mi-8 Hips ATM.
  9. ^^^^ Libyan...
  10. Will-, RU from Libya?
  11. Sad news, I'll remember him for his "Eight below" movie, IMO much better than F&F stuff that made him famous.
  12. I can't see whatever's bizarre here? These ALL seem pretty decent attack aircraft
  13. That's a FC Running on the sceen.
  14. Threads like this should be banned...
  15. What was the purpose of this visit?
  16. It's the wheels rolling over rough runway. Lots of scandinavian airfields have hard airstrip surface roughness to prevent skidding.
  17. Last photo In pervious post made me wonder are there any operational MiG-25P in RuAF today? All I can see being used are recon ® and trainer (U) versions of Foxbat...
  18. BTW what's up with IRONHAND?! Haven't heard from him for too long now!
  19. Water vapor in electric jet's cockpit?! Humidifying the HUD MFDs, canopy...That's even worse...what's the percentage of short circuits?!
  20. Well having any kind of smoke in the cockpit is a no-no...
  21. I was aout to say that it's a very unforgiving system and I wonder who granted it...
  22. I beg to differ...retiring entire B1-B fleet doesn't spare a dime... That means retiring remaining dozen of 'em that fly once in a while. I'd rather raise US taxes and fuel price, rest of the world is guzzling a very expensive fuel for the last 22 years, why wouldn't the americans... ...but, but Hog was lucky 'cause all of the opponents it ever ran into had slingshots...you can go hunting big game in Africa with A-10A... Buy few of 'em and start your own Safari company in Zimbabwe...
  23. IMO there's no need for sudden eruption of SH series... SH5 doesn't look any beter than SH3 in terms of eye-candy. On top of that I got bored by just looking at a single YT video of it, I mean what's there that you haven't seen in previous versions of the game? Another dislike for me is a constant stormy wather in open seas that makes me wait and wait and wait for a conwoy which noone can see...I can watch my nails grow by the time I get a contact... BTW I wish for a proper WWII, cold war & modern day tank simulator...more dynamics there...
  24. Where was this...Kentucky?!! I ask because I noticed that guys from that power company are idiots, having a neutral on top with both phases next to eachother... :music_whistling:
