An 124 loading some truck to help Fukushima

 

Not just some truck, it's pump with a 50m long arm that can be used for water or concrete.

A-10 CSAR training (video)

 

Here is a link to a pretty cool video of CSAR training on the Nellis range in Nevada, USA. The training scenario includes live cover fire from 2 circling A-10s (Sandy 1 Flight) for enemy suppression, whilst the rescue helo (Jolly Flight) hovers in to offload 2 Air Force pararescue troops to aid a simulated injured pilot. Sandy 1 Flight (A-10s) continuously circles in the background, alternately firing smoke rockets (as cover), as well as firing LIVE 30mm rounds at 'enemy' positions. A JTAC controller (Darkstar) coordinates everything on the radio.

 

This is how it goes down in actual combat.

 

This is a great illustration of the A-10's low speed manueverabillity, allowing more of less continiual cover fire during the helo rescue scenario. And wow, if you were the 'pilot' in this training exercise, and/or the PJ's from the Helo, you'd have to have a great deal of trust in the A-10's close air support capabilities. Those are live rounds being fired in very close proximity to all personnel involved!

rip :(

 

Wish I could listen to the upcoming conversations between him and 'Kelly' Johnson - now THAT would be interesting...

 

 

Sure ,would be far more interesting than the one between M.Kalaşnikov and Eugene Stoner's famous meeting AK-47 versus M-16 .. Kelly is most probably the greatest with SR-71..

The Airbus is superior at all levels link (french)

 

 

Well, is that all you can come up with ??? Boeing 777 has wiped out the the crappy A-340 from the markets , even your Air France has recognized this and it operates today more 777's than most of the US carriers..

At last a modern corvette for the russian naval forces. A version of this ship will also be equipped with Klub missiles.

Yeah it`s a bit larger than the average corvette but still there are frigates with twice the displacement of the 20380.

To whom it may concern,

I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that.

Thank you for you patience.

 

 

Many people don't want the truth, they want constant reassurance that whatever misconception/fallacies they believe in are true..

Another country struck by another type of disaster is not giving up defence either. PoAF latest addition. One more airframe overhauled and modified locally:

tail number 15107, ex-peace Atlantis I ADF.

 

I lost count but the number should be around 30 airframes now. They would be of tremendous help in Libya...

love the gunner helmet @ 3.05

 

HGU-56/P + MFS

 

I quit using the MFS because I only fly nights, and the MFS doesn't work very well when the visor is up have to have the visor up when the goggles are down). Good for keeping wind noise off of the mic boom I suppose, but I guess I'm just lazy. ;)
