Cosmonaut Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 Russian way of weapon delivery was always in some "In Your face!" manner! That's why you have 30 mm cannons, common practice in VVS was to fill your HUD with bandits and press a trigger! I'm surprised I see no axe hanging from outer pylons! There was a bicycle though! .. Well no axe's, just prop blades ;) . When some Russian pilots ran out of ammo they would ram the enemy aircraft. :pilotfly: Cozmo. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Minimum effort, maximum satisfaction.

Vekkinho Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 .. Well no axe's, just prop blades ;) . When some Russian pilots ran out of ammo they would ram the enemy aircraft. :pilotfly: This particular maneuver is called "Taran", propeller blades are not neccessary tool to execute taran as some say that Collision between P-3 (Norwegian 333 sqn) and Su-27 over Kola peninsula in 1987 was also intentional! But also read here of incident between HuAF and Soviet VVS over Austria: http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,893297,00.html?promoid=googlep [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
