This very Tornado shown on video is already available or not?

Not yet, just 1st plane of 617 Sqn that Pierre did, but it'll be available soon with GR.1B download.

Very stupid way to check weapon stations ;-)

I'm not an Alarm expert, but shouldn't they fly off forward that siderail like the Sidewinders? Dropping down straight would likely collide with the tanks I think..

It is very good question ;-) I'm looking for this information, but in Gulf they used them only under fuselage,  so it can be some problem.

I've just added these underwings stations and testing .

I'm not so sure if they are so close of tank, but can't find reaaly good photos.

I'll appreciate every help.

From under fuselage dropdown start shouldn't be a problem or if it is placed on a rail on the place of the fueltank, but from the side rail must go forward otherwise would not clear the tank.

 

seems to be quite close from this angle

unfortunately the net is not full with this small detail and most videos lack this aspect, you can see brimstones fly off in quick intervals or winders, etc but not this thingy..

I agree. In some cases the Big Jugs are carried under, a missile with drop-down start with hit those tanks no doubt.

EDIT: *will hit those tanks no doubt.

Meanwhile, there's a site called Air Power Australia by Dr. Kopp, the articles there are peer-reviewed so it's reliable source

a page about the ALARM:

http://www.ausairpower.net/alarm-armat.html

 

And this is to guuruu:

I will find as much as I could on that ALARM for you:smile:

Note that the rear Brimstone launcher is slightly angled down to make clearance either for the ordnance at the front/LITENING pod as shown.

these are some of the many details on the Tonkas alone. That said, we could improve them step by step. Mods by definition are the improvement made by the modders in our community.:smile:

MATRA/BAe Dynamics ALARM

  • MATRA/BAe Dynamics won a contract for 750 missiles in 1983
  • Originally, delivery was scheduled in 1986 but Unfortunately the development of the "Nuthatch" rocket motor (missile's engine) ran into problems.. results in delay
  • Later undergone testes in USN Naval Weapons Center at China Lake using modified Red Top AAM Missile Motor(Yes, guidance & mission control units were the whole point at that time)
  • in 1987, German firm MBB/Bayern Chemie and later LFK designed a new rocket motor for the ALARM
  • in 1990, the weapon was certified at China Lake
  • in JAN 1991, operational on RAF Tornado GR Mk.1(in most cases, 3 missiles were carried under the belly; although later a typical load was 3 under belly 2 on INNER wing pylons(both facing outwards)

Specs:

Length       4240 mm

Diameter   230 mm

Weight       268 Kg(although weight should be in Newton, anyway)

Range(High alt launch)  Brochure: 58 miles; 93 km/ 28 miles; 45 km (depends on source data)

 

Hope that helps
