Next question ofcourse is whats the brevity codes in russia(n)? :)

 

fyi theres a Field Manual floating around in internets with usaf brevity codes.

No, still Fox 2. If you're shooting it far away, 'Fox 2 long' will do. :)

 

R-27ET would be Fox4 (Long Range IR)

My regular Fox 2's (Archers and Sidewinders) are usually accompanied with '2 is merged!', 'splash bandit', 'I'm down' or 'ejecting', and too much excessive language :music_whistling:

What are callnames for Ground missiles or bombs?

Reminder: Fighter pilots make movies. Bomber pilots make... HISTORY! :D | Also to be remembered: FRENCH TANKS HAVE ONE GEAR FORWARD AND FIVE BACKWARD :D

Rifle for mavericks, magnum for HARMs, and 'weapon away' otherwise.

For a bomb drop you call 'pickle'. Converting GG's calls to Russian weapons, 'magnum' for Kh-25MPU, Kh-58 and 'rifle' for Vikhr's, Kh-29T/L, Kh-25ML and S-25L. I'm not sure if firing rockets has its own call, but using guns is called out with 'guns, guns'.

What about "rockeye" for Mk-20s? You hear that all the time in Falcon. Is that one legit? Kinda like saying "Sparrow" or "Sidewinder", isn't it?

That I don't know, I haven't dug quite as deep into A2G brevity ... the best way to find out is to try and find comm tapes or transcripts :)

yes. Fox 4 is not used for IR missiles :P

S = SPARSE(m,n) abbreviates SPARSE([],[],[],m,n,0). This generates the ultimate sparse matrix, an m-by-n all zero matrix. - Matlab help on 'sparse'

Because foxes chase chickens ;)

 

...which is why I really like the term "pitbull". Its as if that little fox suddenly smells blood, you let him off the leash and he goes for the throat.

And runs straight into Farmer Browns' 12-Gauge - Both Barrels at that!

And Tally Ho comes (believe it or not) from Arabic Fox hunting "Tally" in that practice meant I see the Fox :)

 

So Fighter aviation is full of Fox related trivia.

 

Before the advent of Aim120s etc Fox 3 meant Guns kill ... certainly in Commonwealth Air Forces.

 

Before the use of Fox designations it was even more mundane the terms were "Mission Accomplished" abbreviated to "MA"

 

"MA Primary" = Semi Active Kill

"MA Secondary"= IR Kill

"MA Tertiary" = Guns kill
