I think non of us can.

England must be a mutt mixed with Imperialism and Metricism :D

 

The metric journey; An anecdote by a confused local lad:

 

The other week I drove 5 miles to the shop, I bought 7 litres of petrol and 2 kilogrammes of cheese, on the drive back I saw a glamorous filly, not 100 yards from the post office, naturally I politely waved as I chuffed by but in doing so I missed the 100 metre marker for the next junction.

 

Had to go around to the tune of another 2 miles round the country roads.

 

But at least I can still get a pint of bitter for £2.30 at the local and it's only 500 metres from the Dillon's farm where I get my eggs for 90p a dozen.

 

It's wonderful, you must try it.

I'm sorry to inform you but...world is not flat.:D

It.. isn't? H-hold on, I need to sit down. Wooooooooooow. Has anyone been to the shiny night light? That big circle that lights up the night?

Isn't cool how it's just flat on the back instead of being round like the front. ;)

Great video!

 

I had no idea that the radar guided missiles had such similar range to the heat seekers.

I find that a bit wierd...Why would you go through the trouble of using the radar guided if the heat seekers have the same range?

 

Could someone explain this to me? :helpsmilie:

[mwd2]

about the Kh-66 (Radar Guided A2G)... i thought the radar was only an Air2Air-Radar!?

Yes. However, as far as I know, when firing the Kh-66 the radar operates in a fixed beam mode. In that mode it will point straight ahead. The piper on the hud will indicate that.

 

Now, the missile uses the straight ahead looking radar to guide itselfe down to the impact point.

 

EDIT:

 

Apparently, you can lock a point on the ground with the radar. If you don't deviate to much from course, the radar will maintain the lock.

 

After launching, the Kh-66 will then ride down that radarbeam and hopefully hit the target.

 

There is no "locking" of the target. You keep the piper over the target by flying the plane. Therfore the radarbeam will be on target. And that's what the missile is using for guidance.

 

Hope that makes it more clear! :smilewink:

Sorry, I have to change something of that: You can actually lock onto a ground target. Didn't know that!

 

Hey John!

Great videos. Just a correction though, you CAN lock the KH-66 onto something. You can't deviate too much off course (as you'll loose lock), but you can lock to a point on the ground. :)

Cheers, Nick
