In the last days Bavaria was hit by a lot of acts of terror. First a young Afghan attacked a Hongkong chinese family in a train with an axe, wounded them, then run away, killed more people outside the train and was shoot by police. One "goodwilling" politician asked wheter it was neccessary to shot the assassin to dead. What a stupid question of a stupid wife! Then we had the amok run in Munich. Then there was an other amok run, where a syrian refugee attacked and killed a woman with a machete. And finally the bomb attack at Ansbach, again by a syrian refugee. I dont understand, why people, who were not accepted for asylum, can stay in our country. Why people, who violated our laws can stay here in Germany. The guy, who bombed in Ansbach, was well known as drug dealer!!!

The Sondereinsatzkommandos oder Spezaikleinsatzkommandos der Polizei, short SEK are not a new development. They are a result of the big mistakes during Olympic Games in 1972, where the west german police failed dramatically. While the Federal Republic of Germany founded the Grenzschutzgruppe-9 GSG-9 for central use, the single german federalstates founded thir own SEKs for use in their territories. By the way, in East Germany the Alpha Anti Terror Units were founded at the same time. Back to the amok run. It seems to be, that the attacker was a big fan of the norwegian terrorist Breivik. All informations, which are available at the moments indicate, that he startet his amok run to remember the Breivik attack 5 years ago. He was armed with a 9mm Glock automatic pistole and had ammo of 300 rounds. The question is, from where he got the weapon. Pistols are not easy to get in Germany.

F-4E(F) single seat Phantom detailed info?
Gepard replied to dtmdragon's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
AFIIK, the single seat Pjantom had no Sparrow capability and was not able to air to air refueling. -
It was no terreor attack. It was a "normal" amok run. (If amok runs could be normal) The attacker was 18 years old. He was descriped as iranian-german. He had two passports, one german ond one iranian. It seems to be, that he had mental problems, was depressive and was in psychiatric treatment. It seems to be that he wanted to revenge for something, perhaps mobbing or so. He hacked the Facebook account of a young person, which was very popular and invited all "FB friends" to an fast foot restaurant. He declared. that he wanted to pay for all, they would eat. He set a trap. It seems to be, that he shooted especially for young people. The age of victims is said between 13 and 18 years. The Munich police asked help from Special units. Beside the well known GSG-9 group of the Fedral Police Bundepolizei, the special action teams SEK of the police of Bavaria, Baden Würtemberg and Hessen and the austrian special action team COBRA was involved in the action. 2.300 policemen were on the streets of Munich.

80 years ago: the dream of a people becomes the nightmare of a nation.
Gepard replied to Capitaine Vengeur's topic in The Pub
A lot of volonteers all around the world fought on the side of the Republic against the Franco fascists. There were 5 international Brigades. One german "Thälmannbrigade", one italian "Garibaldi", one mixed nations "Dabrowski", one french "Marseillaise", one anglo american "Lincoln/Washington" Song of the international Brigades: Spaniens Himmel breitet seine Sterne Spanish sky spread his stars über unsern Schützengräben aus. over our trenches Und der Morgen grüßt schon aus der Ferne, and the morning greets from far Bald geht es zu neuem Kampf hinaus soon we go to new fight again Die Heimat ist weit The home is far away doch wir sind bereit but we are ready wir kämpfen und siegen für dich for fight and Victory, for you Freiheit! Freedom! 3 Songs of the american Lincoln Brigade -

The video sequence shows a hit on tail rotor or on tail fin. It happend during an attack with unguided tockets on ground targets. Russian sources claim, that the third fired S-5 had a fail function, stuck in the launch container UB-32 and the fin-ring of the rocket was pushed out backwarts and hit the tailrotor. The Mi-25 started to spin, what was an undoubtly sign of tail rotor loss, and crashed. The video sequence show no indication that the Mi-25 was hit with ATGM.

Norway has oil, plenty of oil and gas. What the UK has? Only oil and gas off shore of Scottland. What will happen if the Scotts vote for stay and the English for leave? Will Scottland leave the UK? What will England do without scotish oil and gas, without a proper industry? What will happen with London as centre of the banks if they are cut off from european market? It are a lot of questions. Of course the british proud and the british heart says "Leave!". But what will the british brain say? Dont understand me wrong. I wish the british all the best. Wheter they stay or leave. Its your decision. Not my. If you ask for my opinion, i would vote for "Stay". Why? Please dont let us alone with this money wasting south and east european countries!

Do you tried the compatibility mode? -
It is no fairy tale. Humans, like all animals breath out CO2 and Methan (CH4) is also a product of all animals. But CO2 is a fertilizer. Without CO2 no plants. Plants need CO2 as we need their Oxygen. As more CO2 as better the plants are growing. The only crimes on sky were the shooting on ejected pilots during the parachute descent.

Are you sure, that you use the correct cat extractor tool? The one for SF2 will not work with WoX. Try this. http://combatace.com/files/file/343-sfp1woewov-cat-file-extract-utility/ It should work. -
V-1 in SFP2
Gepard replied to Wilches's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
Should be possible. It was the first cruise missile. So it should be made as weapon in the way like a very slow cruise missle. Plane launched fro a He-111 should not be the big problem. The other thing is a ground launched V1. Silkworm coastal defence anti-ship missiles were made in past, but they had ships as targets. Dont know, wheter the KI would fire a missile on a non moveable taget? -

I get a error message when i try to unzip the file with 7-zip. Is this a failure on my system only, or has someone else this problem too? -
The cockpit was always in russian language, even the export models had russian descriptions and names. Without a minimum of knowledge of russian language you was lost in such a cockpit.

The quality of the soviet airplanes depended heavily from factory who built it. For the MiG-15, MiG-17 series it was said, that the planes made by factories in the european part of the USSR had a much better quality than the ones who were made in eastern part of the union. The same is with MiG-21 and MiG-23. One factory worked for the soviet forces, the other for export. Export planes were downgraded and from worse quality. I know that technicians of the LSK (east german air force) were astonished how good the quality of planes was, which were delivered from a factory, which originally built planes only for the soviets themself.

Your words are basing on the statements of american pilots who flew the former egypt MiG-23MS during Red Flag exercises. And for this version the statement is correct. It is also correct for the MiG-23BN. Both planes had the same autopilot and the MiG-23 pilot needed the support of autopilot. Without the autopilot support the plane was a beast. The autopilot of the MiG-23MS and BN were slow and sluggish. They killed some good pilots. From MiG-23M it became better and the ML had a very good autopilot system. The MiG-23ML was a good fighter and when the USAF got 12 former LSK MiG-23ML for Red Flag all complains about bad plane behaviour ended. The MLD was even a step better. The list in this article is not my list. For me the top 7 worst soviet planes would be: 1. MiG-19PM, radar was more defect that working. The fuel system was leaking constantly. It was a nightmare for the ground crews 2. MiG-19S, very low readiness level due failure in engine and fuelsystem. 3. MiG-17PM, radar unreliable and often defect 4. MiG-3, underpowered, undergunned, useless in fight 5. MiG-2, medium catastrophe 6. Tu-104, to loud for passengers, terrible fuel economy 7. IL-62, real dangerous plane

Why so many people believe it must be an act of terror? If it would have been a bomb, the terror group would shout on all TV channels that they had done it. But there is no single voice from this side. I guess it was a tragical accident.

Did the Battle of Jutland Really Matter...?
Gepard replied to Hauksbee's topic in WOFF UE/PE - General Discussion
The german navy port in the North Sea was Wilhelmshaven, not Kiel. The german Hochseeflotte operated against UK always from Wilhelmshaven, never from Kiel. The german ships proved better, because they had a better damage resistance. The german crews were better drilled for combat conditions and they had learned the lessons from Dogger Bank desaster. For the british it was a victory because the german Kaiser was unwilling in future to risk his "loved toy Hochseeflotte" again. There were no longer raids toward the british coast with big ships. The Royal Navy was able to replace their losses faster than the Hochseeflotte. So the RN was able to hold close the entrances of Nort Sea for german commercial ships and blockade the sea trade of Germany. It was a britis defeat, because they lost more ships, more modern ships and more sailors. As Craig said already, strategic victory for the Royal Navy, tactical and operational victory for the Kaiserliche Hochseeflotte. -
Alternativen für die Lw bzw. LSK zwischen 1955 und 1980
Gepard replied to PraetorH's topic in Deutsch
Als die Bundesluftwaffe einen Nachfolger für den Starfighter in der Jagdrolle suchte war eine einsitzige F-4 im Gespräch. Die einsitzige F-4 sollte als Übergangsmuster bis zur Einführung eines Tornado Jagdflugzeuges genutzt werden. Aus dem Projekt ist nichts geworden, weil die notwendigen Änderungen das Budget gesprengt hätten. Aber das Teil, ich habe es einfach mal F-4FG (Fighter Germany) genannt, könnte, falls es realisiert worden wäre, so ausgesehen haben: -
That were no destroyers. It were cargo ships and submarines. And it were soviet, not russian. The bad guy Khrustchev, who put the missiles to Cuba, was not a bad russian, he was a bad ukrainian. The results of his stupid politics we have to cure up today (Crimea, Donezk). Bu you are right. The behavior of the american pilots some 50 yeras ago was similar to the mock attacks of the russian pilots today. This are all young guys with big balls and the strong believe to be the best in the world. Its always the same. So no need to worry. Lean back and enjoy the show.

The US sailors had fun too. Look into their faces. Like visitors on an airshow. And by the way, what would US planes do, if a russian destroyer start sniffing less than 100 km in front of the american coast?

To F-14 fans, would like your enlightment on avionics. Thank you.
Gepard replied to Boresight's topic in Air Combat School
I must correct myself. The AIM-9L in 1982 was able to do a head on shot if the incoming enemy plane was on afterburner. Under such condition it was truely an all aspect missile.
