Soldier36 Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 As part of the third stage of the exercise of non-strategic nuclear forces of Russia, footage of the MiG-31 aircraft being equipped with an R-33 air-to-air missile has been published. The R-33 medium-range missile was accepted into service in 1981, information about it is in the link to the video in the comments to the video. It is assumed that in this case, the R-33 missile is shown for the first time equipped with a special warhead, that is, in a nuclear version. Officially, the warhead of the R-33 missile is not reported. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soldier36 Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 Ukrainian Su-24 launches SCALP-EG cruise missiles. The only footage to date of the launch of Ukrainian Strom Shadow / SCALP-EG cruise missiles developed by the French company Matra and the English British Aerospace, now produced by the European company MBDA, has been published. The SCALP-EG missiles are launched from a modernized Soviet-made Su-24MR frontline bomber. The Strom Shadow / SCALP-EG missiles have a range of about 560 km when launched from an aircraft.

Colin Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 On 8/2/2024 at 6:35 AM, Markus Becker said: A comment I got elsewhere: !Might be doable, especially with the L39 variant. But i would question if it's worth the effort of establishing compatibility with the old platform. Making a whole new towed howitzer chassis may be more worthwhile, or just ask around for old towed western howitzers. Part of the issue may be that western modern ones like M777 and FH77 are so fancy they give Ukrainians sticker shock, but then again, a big chunk of that is probably the advanced fire control they come with, while Ukrainians have good locally made solutions in that regard that are certainly cheaper." Carriage and recoil mechs are not that easy to produce. Once you have the right machines and people for barrel production, it historical seems barrels can be made faster than the carriages. As long as the outside diameters work and the recoil pulse is similar, it would give you a gun with common ammunition requirements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also not for nothing, the only fireworks in the CT/NY area that can compete with black communities in a low income neighborhood (I always hit Derby Avenue in New Haven by the hospital because my friends live there) is a white community around any lake or beachfront. I kinda wish these two groups could have a firework fight off, because both are fiercely competitive with their neighbors over who has the biggest bangs. Unfortunately I cannot imagine a venue for that… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soldier36 Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 The first two Danish F-16AM fighters have arrived in Ukraine. The aircraft were personally presented by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the Vasylkiv airfield, 40 km from Kyiv. The aircraft's side numbers have been obscured, but thanks to photos from the flights, they were identified as UA 80-3596 and UA 80-3599. Both Ukrainian fighters were built under license at the Belgian aircraft manufacturer SABCA, and in 1982 they were transferred to Denmark under the numbers E-596 and E-599. Denmark plans to transfer a total of 79 F-16 fighters to Ukraine. The estimated service life of the F-16A/B airframe is 8,000 hours, while all "European" F-16A/Bs have a flight time of 7,000 to 7,500 hours to date. The Ukrainian F-16 fighters are equipped with medium-range AIM-120 AMRAAM air-to-air missiles and short-range AIM-9 Sidewinder missiles. The aircraft have external fuel tanks. Presumably, the F-16's task will be to support the remaining Ukrainian Su-24MR and MiG-29 aircraft, as well as launch Storm Shadow and SCALP cruise missiles. Ukrainian F-16 pilots received JHMCS helmet-mounted targeting sights, which allows the pilot to shoot where his gaze is directed regardless of the direction of the helmet. The aircraft are equipped with the Terma PIDS+ and ECIPS+ missile attack warning system, with a jamming device and the release of additional heat traps. The F-16 fighters transferred to Ukraine will be based at the Limanske airfield in the Odessa region on the border with Romania. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soldier36 Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 An unusual hybrid of military equipment was noticed in the Marine Corps of the Pacific Fleet of Russia. The MT-LB armored transporter developed in 1964 was again used as a test subject. Servicemen of the repair units installed a 100-mm anti-tank gun MT-12 "Rapira" on the Russian military transporter MTLB, technical information about the gun MT-12 "Rapira" in the link to the video in the comments to the video. The approximate firing range of the hybrid MT-LB and the gun MT-12 "Rapira" will be about 8200 meters. It is worth noting that the Ukrainian army is also actively creating hybrids of military equipment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTLB is well known for it's Baumkommando Becker style conversations for quite some time. Both sides have been putting all sorts of interesting things on them since shortly after this shit show started. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_Becker I really like the version with the ASW rocket launcher.

Stuart Galbraith Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 Depends on how many men they have called up for service in Ukraine. After all, there cant be that many young, fit and relatively poor enough to send without drawing upon other services who depend on precisely the same demographic. But yes, Id want to see some more explanation before accepting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
