    After having won the competition for a light attack plane, FIAT had encountered problems with the structural integrity of its two-part fuselage system in the G-91. The first model, built the way it was meant to, in the wind-channel showed the possibility of unusual wear in the connection system of the two fuselage parts, which could have lead to the breaking and the loss of the plane in medium to high-g exposures. The construction team had to overthink a possibility for a workaround without making the airplane much heavier, more expensive and more difficult to maintain. Italian minister of defense, Paolo Emilio Taviani, not happy about this matter, sought an other way to reinforce the italian air force with a suitable and comparable aircraft until the problems of the G-91 would have been solved. He was then offered the A-4 Skyhawk, which was also a light and easy to maintain aircraft. Three italian pilots of the Aeronautica Militare received the possibility to test the aircraft in the US. Their reports included a satisfactory review of this nimble aircraft. It was described as nice to fly and easy to maintain. The ministry of defense, not willing to upset FIAT but showing impatience, ordered 72 A4D-2N (renamed A-4C; with an option for eventually more), which got allocated to squadrons of the 6th, 32nd and 51st Stormo in 1962. An A-4C of the 32nd Stormo, 1962 At the end of the 1960s, the A-4Cs got replaced by the more modern A-4Es, with better engine and radar and also the possibility to take more payload on board. Some of the A-4C, which some of the italian pilots called "topolino" (little mouse), got retained for training purposes while most of the fleet got back to the US or sold to other countries. A-4Es from the 51st Stormo, 1970 At the end of the 1960s, FIAT finally was able to start delivering G-91 to the air forces. Italy, though being local customer, was doubtful about replacing the Skyhawks with the Ginas, since all pilots were satisfied with the capabilities and the flight characteristics of the aircraft. Mario Tanassi, then minister of defense, declared, after having discussed this matter with the Adreotti administration, that the Skyhawks would be replaced by G-91 in a matter of two years with the exception of the 6th Stormo. The replaced Skyhawks got then sold to other countries or scrapped for spare parts. The 6th Stormo was the last wing having the Skyhawk, receiving in 1973 the last upgrade with the A-4F. A-4Fs of the 6th Stormo The wing did not have the Skyhawk for a long time. In 1978, MoD Attilio Ruffini on behalf of the italian government, got into negotiations with SecDef Harold Brown of the Carter Administration about the purchase of 24 A-6 and 4 EA-6 aircraft of Grumman for replacing the Skyhawks. In Spring 1979, the negotiations were successful and Italy was to receive the new aircraft in early 1980. The days of the Skyhawk in italian service got fewer and fewer. The last Skyhawk was taken out of commission and sold to Brazil in April 1980. A-6S' of the 6th Stormo, around Summer 1980 EA-6S', Summer 1980

    Please test this LOD and let us know if the shadow thing was fixed. We tested and didn't find that black line anymore with this fixed LOD. https://files.fm/u/zh2py64w5

    These are Abu Mahdi' naval cruise missile. But do you believe that they hit target from 1000 Kilometers with accuracy??? Line for video and Iranian propaganda "Iran's inventory of anti-ship missiles is today built around four Chinese missile families, the C-801/C-802 (CH-SS-N-4 Sardine /CH-SS-N-6 Saccade), the YJ-9, the C-701 and the C-704. Both the YJ-9 and the C-701 are known in Iran as the Kosar family, while the C-704 is the Nasr." This is other photo of the 1000 kilometers cruise missile they look familiar to the old Chinese missile with cosmetics outer shell. I really don't like to talk about Iran and there weapons as a lot of them are for propaganda, and yes they do have good one like the shahed 136 drone. But generally I don't even consider reading a bout them.

    This is an interesting video. I expected to get close to the S-300 but not as close as I get in the video. It shows how stealthy game-wise the F-35C is. Now I don't think the game accounts for underwing ordnance but anyway, I make it quite close to Farid's SA-10A:

    Here's mission 4, where there just always seems to be one more enemy! If you are kind enough to give it a like, I think it increases the visibility to occasional viewers.

    VonS you outdid yourself here. It gave new life to this sim and corrected the problems plagued with the AI for years, in my opinion. Thanks!
