sorry to add a layer but hammer made could be synonym of hand made too which could be proof of prestige also . i canno't end without underlining the fact that Mig-29 helmet was the first fitted with eye following system so you know dress doesn't make the monk :)

Actually there was a Mirage Variation that takes that spot. And before that some testing for the F-14 (although not fielded). Granted the Mig-29 was the 1st to make the most use out of it in conjunction with the 73's.

What concept? Using a prop aircraft for attack?

 

That you don't need costly jet fighters to do precision ground attack missions.

 

On this mission were involved 27 supertucanos, the aircraft filming is a king-air or most likely a c-47 fitted with recon equipment, there were also several modified uh-60. In total there were 34 aircraft on this mission; This number of aircraft was due to the fact that the air force was bombing the camp of the worst and most merciless terrorist of the farc Mono jojoi; that individual was responsible for more than 2000 assassinations, and the creation of concentration camps on which he held captive several civilians, police officers, soldiers and 3 Americans prisoners (he also ordered the killing of a police sergeant that went insane after enduring 8 years captive).

Nope the SAAF was the first to develop and operationally deploy the HMDs, the Russians even stole the design from us with their high level spy in the SAN.

Thank you for you patience.

So I guess the soviets also copied the r-73?

 

Did I say that? Now let us be civil here, all I was doing was stating the irrefutable facts.

One of 6 Galeb G-4s to be transfered from Montenegro to Serbia, according to an agreement between two states. External damage is due to planes not being used for 4 years with no or basic maintenance. During one of the transfer flights, the landing gear could not be raised, resulting in a flight time much longer than planed.

Never forget that World War III was not Cold for most of us.
