Kula66 Posted August 10, 2005 Posted August 10, 2005 Great find ... flight times seem short and a bit less smokey than the FC ones.

Gazehound Posted August 10, 2005 Posted August 10, 2005 Woah that plane was in the air? VVS504 Red Hammers
192nd_Erdem Posted August 10, 2005 Author Posted August 10, 2005 Yep,you can see the altitude "3600" from upper right side :)
504 Wolverine Posted August 10, 2005 Posted August 10, 2005 Woah that plane was in the air? Looks like a TU-16 Badger. Badgers...Badgers....Badgers... LOL [/url]
britgliderpilot Posted August 10, 2005 Posted August 10, 2005 Looks like a TU-16 Badger. Badgers...Badgers....Badgers... LOL Question: Why did Nato never give an aircraft the designation "Mushroom"? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v121/britgliderpilot/BS2Britgliderpilot-1.jpg
504 Wolverine Posted August 10, 2005 Posted August 10, 2005 Oh no. I've started BGP off. RUN FOR YOUR LIVES !!! :icon_wink :p [/url]
D-Scythe Posted August 10, 2005 Posted August 10, 2005 Interesting. In the video, the Vikhr was launched at the Badger flying at low altitude and with its gear down (so probably really slow). To me, this just convinces me further that LOMAC's Virkhr's sniping any plane in LOMAC slower than 1000 kmph and pulling max Gs out of the air as unrealistic. Cool vid though.
Brit_Radar_Dude Posted August 11, 2005 Posted August 11, 2005 B_G_P asked : Why did Nato never give an aircraft the designation "Mushroom"? NATO gave Warsaw Pact aircraft categories names that all started with the same letter. Aircraft of the same/similar type had letters (A,B,C etc) after to distinguish:- Fighters / fighter-bombers begin with F eg. Fitter-A/B/etc for Su-7/17/20/22 Bombers begin with B eg Badger for Tu-16, Bear for Tu-95 Cargo/AWACS aircraft begin with C eg Colt for An-2, Candid for Il-76MD Helo's begin with H eg Helix for Ka-27, Hind for Mi-24 Maritime Patrol aircraft begin with M eg May for Il-38, Mail for Be-12 So if anything was called Mushroom, it would be a maritime patrol one, but Il-38 and Be-12 are about the only Soviet MP a/c i can think of....

Prophet_169th Posted August 20, 2005 Posted August 20, 2005 Explosion is very impressive. Much larger than what LOMAC gets.

You got part of M and C wrong. M names are given to AWACS as well. The Mainstay for example. C is strictly cargo. I also recall some maritime aircraft given bomber designations as well, though this is likely because of dual-use or a varient of an exsisting bomber.

Brit_Radar_Dude Posted August 21, 2005 Posted August 21, 2005 NATO Warsaw Pact aircraft category names.... Nice catch Hyena and Wolverine. It's good to have the friendly Lockon safety net when on the flying trapeze of life...... Is that kinda (wildlife) spooky that it was a Hyena and a Wolverine? :) Or am I still a bit wasted despite walking home from watching Oasis, Chemical Brothers, Kaiser Chiefs, Doves, LA's, Sonic Youth, etc. at the V festival. Incidentally, Chemical Ali is NOT the missing member of the Chemical Brothers :icon_roll [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Sorry Death, you lose! It was Professor Plum....

Sealpup Posted August 21, 2005 Posted August 21, 2005 Great... You just gave them what they needed to make an aircraft spoof of the now-infamous 'badger-badger-badger' flash-video. I hope you're friggin happy. I knew what you were trying to convey from the start mate and it didn’t really need correcting but as you know others cant resist shouting "pwned" and correcting people.
