  1. Identify this Aircraft

    OKB of Semyon Alekseev. Sadly even the two seater night fighter of this was never even flight tested as many claim that Yakovlev 's comment during a Kremlin meeting "just another copy of the ME-262" might have influenced Stalin when he decided to shutdown the OKB without even allowing flight testing of the I-212 as a result also the I-215.
  2. Identify this Aircraft

    Not a SU-9. Gunrunner is close. Need a hint ?
  3. Identify this Aircraft

    Does this count ? Easy or far too vague ? If so let me know and can try to post something else. Dont have access to my books or mags for the cool stuff as reference since I'm in Dubai instead of home, Toronto.

    Recognized this as a yugo bird by the tail pic which how I found it when I posted my question. Actually a simple gogle of Yugoslavian jet prototypes and wiki search paid off IKARUS 452M General characteristics Crew: One pilot Length: 5.97 m (19 ft 7 in) Wingspan: 5.25 m (17 ft 2 in) Height: 1.77 m (5 ft 9 in) Gross weight: 1,100 kg (2,420 lb) Powerplant: 2 × Turboméca Palas 056A, 1.5 kN (330 lbf) thrust each Performance Maximum speed: 780 km/h (466 mph) Endurance: 1 hours 15 min

  20. New Chinese Stealth Fighter F60

    Wasn't the MIG 1.44 supposed to have stealth like characteristics by incorporating "plasma stealth" ?
  21. You're right. I missed that fine detail. Funny how Democracy can get dictators elected, just like it worked for Hitler as well. EDIT:- Still no word on the pilots right ? Sadly, I suspect their fate is now a forgone conclussion, would love to be wrong days/weeks from now if it turns out that they're being held by Syrians.
  22. Makes one wonder that the same people in the West cheering the Arab spring are now going "Oh Crap !" seeing how it's Islamistist that have come into power, the very same people who're not too fond of the west. Here as well as in other western countries I would suspect, the media was throwing around the words Freedom and Democracy. Did anyone stop and think that as great as those would be perhaps Democracy doesn't work everywhere, kind of like when Elton John married that chick ! Changing countries, there has been a siginificant boost of Greek GDP due to huge increase in pop-corn sales.
  23. The only way to resolve this is by both sides to quietly and quickly.....
