Eight Ball Posted October 23, 2017 Posted October 23, 2017 From the description: "Produced in 1964, this awesome U.S. Air Force film shows tactical weapons tests against various types of targets using F-100 Super Sabre and other aircraft. Over 100 target complexes were built to simulate enemy positions including anti-aircraft missiles sights similar to those used in Cuba. Tests were also conducted of air to air missiles, air to ground and anti-tank weapons, and bombs. At the 3 minute mark, a radio-controlled drone is destroyed flying at 180 miles per hour. A sidewinder missile fired from the F-104 sidewinder is seen destroying an F-80 at the mark. The F-105 Thunderchief is also seen performing ground attacks, including attacks with napalm. F-84F Thunderstreaks are also seen in the film. The Zuni rocket is seen at the mark. At four Starfighters are seen dropping napalm on a simulated enemy convoy. Barges were also used in the test to simulate enemy landing forces (see ). At the 15 minute mark a terrible accident is seen, in which the chase aircraft and primary in a test strike were destroyed by fragments, forcing both pilots to eject. At the 16 minute mark, F-100s and F-104s fire Bullpup missiles at a parked train including a steam locomotive. The Fairchild C-123 Provider, shown in 123H prototype form with wide track undercarriage and two underwing J85 booster engines is also shown being tested at the mark. The C-130 is also shown being put through its paces as part of combat testing." 1 Find The Links To All My Mods And Liveries Here (in the gallery)
