The seventh part of the report from MAKS-2013 and the first part about indoors exhibits. The photos of various avionics, airborne radars, flight control and management systems, electro-optical systems as well as UAVs and land-based radars.

Good look getting that test procedure past a safety board in Europe.

They have three. The biggest one being the mouth.

LRS-B. The B-52 carries the long range cruise missiles. However I would have replaced it because it's going to need replacing soon anyway being about the oldest plane in the airforce. That would leave B-1, B-2 and LRS-B (B-3) by 2025-2030.

Even the new ZU-23 looks ugly. Those little 23mm gun positions on DCS now have Igla-S. http://www.rusi.org/downloads/assets/Dr_Igor_Sutyagin_part_3.pdf

Maybe repost, if so sorry. http://www.northropgrumman.com/Capabilities/B2SpiritBomber/Documents/pageDocuments/B-2-Spirit-of-Innovation.pdf

I got to thinking that something like a Pershing II with a modernised version of RADAC and up-to-date propulsion system could work as a bomber deployed or surface/sub-surface launched AShM with 1800km range. With modernisation the weight and size could probably be reduced too, or the Pershing IB would work as a shorter ranged version. I'm actually sat here questioning whether a Pershing II or IB would work even in its original state. The RADAC was programmed to recognise and home in on specific targets to within 30m CEP. That's accurate enough for an aircraft carrier strike or taking out a launcher. So as well as intercepting the missile you could reply in kind. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pershing_II#Pershing_II

I was distracted by the green magazine cover to the right of the article. Did I miss anything while my palm was also busy smacking something? http://www.vanityfair.com/includes/mag-cover-feature/_jcr_content/par/cn_features_containe/cn_manual_feature/cn_image.size.vanity-fair-cover-2013-10-146px.jpg

I keep hearing that 241 will remain in service until 2040 despite all this fear-mongering.

^Usually swap over part-way.

From article. They're now effectively using an unmanned plane that needs manned planes to escort it.:D

I like to think of them as hypersonic Tall Boys. That would put a really big dent in your VLS.:D

So neither Fox 1 nor Fox 2.:D

So there are fighters escorting UAVs? That makes sense not.

I've sourced the original graph that was modded.

Found this lying round. Can't be sure of the origins.

Kh-22MA?

More S-350 information. http://militaryrussia.ru/blog/topic-633.html Looks like the (9M100 is a self-defence missile, possibly for use against enemy AGMs.

Crap. Threads were too close together. Funnily enough I just bought a new mouse because the button on the last one was getting flaky.
