topol-m Posted July 16, 2009 Posted July 16, 2009 This is fun... so whats this? Don`t be so hasty with new riddles while there is an unanswered one. :) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
ED Team Groove Posted July 16, 2009 ED Team Posted July 16, 2009 Let me remind you guys about the rules ;) Neverending contest (military aviation knowledge). The rules are simple. First to answers correctly posts next question :) Our Forum Rules: http://forums.eagle.ru/rules.php#en
topol-m Posted July 16, 2009 Posted July 16, 2009 Looks an awful lot like a PL-8/Python 3. Yep you are right this is the Python 3. Let me remind you guys about the rules ;) Groove is right. Apologies for asking a question before Bimbac. He should be allowed to ask his any time. But i`m still wondering if anyone can find what the bomb in post 401 is :) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
CE_Mikemonster Posted July 16, 2009 Posted July 16, 2009 Well i presume it's a practise bomb, hence the blue. As for the red/yellow colours, what do they mean? The tail looks as if it wasn't made for dropping/free flight (a hunch), and there is a wire coming from the front [sensor] bit. Also you have blurred out the cradle it's resting on... Bit odd ;) is this a 'crash test dummy' bomb? If it is, erm... Mk-20? It's got to be a sensor package either way. Possibly for testing guidance control surfaces? Too many cowboys. Not enough indians. GO APE SH*T
CE_Mikemonster Posted July 16, 2009 Posted July 16, 2009 This is fun... so whats this? JP-233? Too many cowboys. Not enough indians. GO APE SH*T

AFAIK it`s not a practice bomb, the colors may mean it`s a piece for tests but i`m not completely sure :) Nope it`s not MK-20 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Pilotasso Posted July 16, 2009 Posted July 16, 2009 (edited) It looks like the JP-233 (or something like it) anti-runway submunitions dispenser. Same as the one on the bottom right corner in that picture. Used that thing lots of times in the old DID's TORNADO SIM. Together with the ALARM missile it was loads of fun those base attack missions.

CE_Mikemonster Posted July 16, 2009 Posted July 16, 2009 (edited) Paveway gps experimental guidance [Topol]? Edit: I'm not familiar with the colour coding used, but it's obvious this is an inert and probably experimental weapon. Edited July 16, 2009 by CE_Mikemonster Too many cowboys. Not enough indians.

Edit: I'm not familiar with the colour coding used, but it's obvious this is an inert and probably experimental weapon. It`s not Paveway. And it`s actually in use. I doubt the bomb will be painted that way in war time but thats what it actually look like. I might find another good photo of it though... Edited July 16, 2009 by topol-m [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
shaggy Posted July 16, 2009 Posted July 16, 2009 Is it a GBU-24`? Intel Core i7-8700 3,20GHz - EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti SC2 - 32Gb Ram - DCS on 500 GB SSD - Windows 10 - Thrusmaster Warthog - Thrustmaster TPR pedals - Track Ir 5 - Samsung Odyssey+ [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] http://www.virtualredarrows.com

mvsgas Posted July 16, 2009 Posted July 16, 2009 CE_Mikemonster and Pilotasso You guys are correct, it looks like JP-233 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..
mvsgas Posted July 16, 2009 Posted July 16, 2009 (edited) :D GCS-1 IRGB The bomb having a blue body make is inert for testing or training The Yellow and Red are fore testing to be able to track the bomb as it falls. Lets get question form Someone else, topol-m, so we can spread the knowledge and more people participate, What do you guys think? Who got a cool aircraft fact or trivia?
