  1. More aereal photos I hope none of these have been posted yet: http://virtualglobetrotting.com/category/buildings/military-missile-sites/ http://bbs.keyhole.com/ubb/showflat.php?Number=373189 An analysis of the Iranian SAM network: http://geimint.blogspot.com/2007/09/iranian-sam-network.html Unit structure of Danish Enhanced HAWK (DeHAWK): http://hawk.legends.dk/dehawk.asp Newport Aeronautical offers US Army manuals with descriptions of many NATO SAM systems - along with other hardware. These usually contain perspective drawings of the equipment, which might be useful in creating 3D models. As an example, they have technical manuals on the HAWK and IHAWK systems.

  2. Redeployment Shoot, I was going to suggest that one. :( Anyway, I'd like to remind everyone that you're not likely to encounter mobile SAM units, such as HAWK or Patriot, in their permanent peacetime facilities. Once a conflict starts, they will move to pre-determined locations in the surrounding area and likely switch between multiple locations on a near-daily basis. Systems with multiple fire units will not move all units at the same time, since one or more units are needed at operational status to provide cover during the redeployment. Afterthought: Redeployment to alternate sites also means that the placement of radars, command posts and launchers become more fluid, although they will still maintain the same basic structure - radars and launchers usually fan out to opposite sides of the command posts, with any specialized target tracking radars closest to the launcher clusters.
  3. Of course, if someone were completely anal, they'd have to ask why anyone would mount 16 laserguided Hellfire missiles on a Longbow. ;)
  4. 1] Sprouting 2D geometry code out my ears at 'work,' here in my home office. 2] Checking the DCS forums. 3] Feeling happy about Spore now having an official release date. 4] Checking the DCS forums. 5] Messing around with the Jad Engine when not on the clock. 6] Checking the DCS forums. 7] Doing menial work for the girlfriend during weekends. 8] Checking the DCS forums. 9] Occasionally trying not to kill myself while skiing. 10] You get the picture...
  5. Has anyone thought of asking the Chinese? I hear they're good at that kind of stuff. ;)
  6. It would make no difference. You don't get more bandwidth, just because you open another port. :)
  7. They're for your nephew, of course. ;) I have a couple of F-18s of the same make right here, on top of my bookshelf. I'm sure I will give them to my nephew some day. :)
  8. Hmm. I wonder if anyone ever considered an IR camera update to the Shkval system.
  9. Oh, 7 8800GTX cards should do the trick. :)
  10. I can see that with 7 vertical 30" Dell monitors. That should be enough to wrap around 90 degrees to each side. :)
  11. Heh. It has indeed been my observation that the worst writers here are actually among those, whose native language is English. Funny how that works... :)
  12. That is funny, considering this was written in 1988, just one year prior to the fall of the Berlin Wall.
