significant Posted August 15, 2009 Posted August 15, 2009 I'm very lazy for this contest, Me too. Besides i'm not a missile expert.:pilotfly:
topol-m Posted August 15, 2009 Posted August 15, 2009 Ok. Here it is. It`s the chinese QW-3 anti-aircraft missile. It is similar to the QW-2 in design but the seeker is different (QW-3 uses semi-active laser guidance) and has a booster with greater diameter. As i said it`s already in use in China`s newest missile boats with the FLS-1 launcher system (which has 2 versions - with QW-3 and type-90 missiles). :music_whistling: I`ve tortured you for so long ;) that someone else should ask a question although mine hasn`t been answered. So feel free to ask... Oficially promoted - "King of riddles". :) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
gigz-on Posted August 15, 2009 Posted August 15, 2009 I knew thst this is China's missile, but didn't know its name! :megalol: My YouTube Channel:

ED Team Groove Posted August 15, 2009 ED Team Posted August 15, 2009 having the plane name in the picture URL doesnt made it really hard to guess <^^> Our Forum Rules: http://forums.eagle.ru/rules.php#en
topol-m Posted August 15, 2009 Posted August 15, 2009 having the plane name in the picture URL doesnt made it really hard to guess <^^> Actually it wasn`t very difficult having the Taiwan markings to find out what that aircraft is having in mind that the fighters they have are F-16s, Mirages, F-5s, and F-CK-1 ;) But take note zakobi and change the picture`s name in future ;) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
zakobi Posted August 15, 2009 Posted August 15, 2009 do'h hadn't noticed, had hoped to confuse with the mixture of the F-16 and F/A-18
topol-m Posted August 15, 2009 Posted August 15, 2009 Ok. The King of riddles has something for you :) Not very difficult but since you don`t like my missiles i`m giving you an aircraft: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
significant Posted August 15, 2009 Posted August 15, 2009 and F-CK-1 ;) How can they use plane designations like that? I mean it's like "-General, our new uber modern plane's name is obscene! -Ok, then let's just remove one letter" :doh:

topol-m Posted August 15, 2009 Posted August 15, 2009 Polikarpov VIT-1 antitank airplane (1937). http://www.airwar.ru/enc/aww2/vit1.html Wow incredible. You found it very fastly. That`s what happens when i don`t give missiles as questions. :) Good work. Your turn. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Namenlos Ein Posted August 15, 2009 Posted August 15, 2009 Thank you, Your Majesty. Very simple question: what is the nickname of this aircraft?
mvsgas Posted August 16, 2009 Posted August 16, 2009 Thank you, Your Majesty. Very simple question: what is the nickname of this aircraft? Is it the MIG-105 EPOS (Experimental Passenger Orbital Aircraft) ? 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..
