strahi, those flares look different (not bad different, just different). reminds me of a bit about Sidewinders basically being cued to defeat western flare, but Russian flares still defeat them cause they do it different. even worked against AIM-9X over Syria

anyhow, mandatory screenie

Okay, its far away from precision. But cheap and simple.

A more realistic payload for the L-410UVP-T (east german designation for a sub version of the UVP)

To be honest. You must be mad to jump out of an airplane without need, only with a thin sheet of silk between yourself and the happy hunting grounds.

21 years ago on March 27, 1999

A formation of 4 F-117As is about to take off for another strike mission near Belgrade... That night escort jammers EA-6B were grounded due to bad weather...

So the Nighthawks had to rely exclusively on their stealth characteristics... 

img00627.jpg

F-117As were basically following the very same routes... The 3rd Battalion of the 250th Air Defense Missile Brigade managed to acquire and track the "Vega-31"...

img00633.jpg

At about 8:15 pm local time, with a range of about 8 miles 2 V-601P missiles were launched...

img00638.jpg

The first one passed very close but didn't detonate... and the second gets very close...

img00656.jpg

The second missile detonates causing significant damage to the aircraft and causing it to tumble out of control...

img00665.jpg

The aircraft crushed near the village of Budanovci...

The shotdown of "Vega-31" was the first and only verified combat kill of a stelath aircraft and interestingly that kill was achieved with outdated 60s era surface to air missiles.
