Sadico

I like the model, but the machinegun is very bad. It doesn't even have sights. I've modified it to use the NSV and PKM from Aaron Ash's realistic T-80, and it rocks!!

There is a civilian news chopper made by vit, but it sucks because it's armed with 8 tow's and a .50 cal machine gun.

And US aircraft violated soviet airspace lot's of times during the cold war.

Thanks man!!

Mig-9 Fargo?

I don't think that tiles could stand a high energy laser for a long time.

I don't know if it's true, but i've heard that there was a nuclear alert in the US because the defense system confused the moon with a massive soviet missile attack.

I had a pdf document that explains very well how the ABL works and there is a lot of info about the adaptive optics, i'll see if i can find the URL. *edit* Here it is: http://www.fas.org/spp/starwars/program/docs/97-0581.pdf

Su-47? Why did they change the designation? The Russian Air Force pretends to buy some?

It doesn't precalculate them, you know. You can't predict turbulences (chaos theory and all that shit), but you can correct errors extremely fast. </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE"> I don't think you can deflect enough energy from a powerful laser beam, it will probably just damage the reflective surface and then go right through...<span id='postcolor'> Yeah, i don't think you can reflect a multi kilowatt (or even megawatt) laser for a long time with today's technology. What about a plasma generator like the russian "plasma stealth" to absorb the radiation (electromagnetic radiation can't go through plasma)? It is far too big for an arty shell, but it could be used with aircraft and ballistic missiles.

Couldn't be easier, Sukhoi S-37 Berkut

I know, but they use the same technology. For example in the USAF Airborne Laser, the mirror's shape changes about a thousand times per seccond to compensate atmospheric distortions.

WHy didnt they use "flying fortress"?<span id='postcolor'> As far as i know the last Bf-109's in the spanish airforce were retired in 1969 (spanish bf-109's and he-111's were used in the film "The Battle of Britain").

Adaptive optics i guess. That lasers use computer-controlled deformable mirrors to shape the laser beam and focus it on the target. The atmosphere distorts the beam and without that, the range of the laser would be very limited because most of it's energy would be lost. That technology was developed quite recently for use in telescopes.

The USAF Airborne Laser (a 747-400F with a high energy chemical laser) destroys theather ballistic missiles puncturing their fuel tanks during the boost phase.

Yeah, too many aircraft geeks here . And don't even try to use rare russian prototypes, Tovarish knows 'em all!!!

Get a joystick dude, they aren't that expensive (unless you want a thrustmaster)

Yeah, i doubt it can be really useful against a soviet style barrage of hundreds of cannons, but against a few artillery rockets like in Israel it can be very good.

Maybe the russians will outfit their missiles with that plasma generator they wanted to use in the MFI, photons can't go through plasma.

Soon we'll see artillery shells covered with mirrors to deflect the lasers, or maybe rockets with smoke generators so they can't be hit by the laser.
