Gepard

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

Not all muslims are terrorists, but it seems to be, that all terrorists are muslim.

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.

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?

It was a problem with my 7-zip. It was from 2006. Downloaded a new version and it worked fine now. The SeaStorm is a nice bird. Well done!!

Im using the program 7-zip. I will try to download bandit zip. Thx.

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.

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.

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?

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.

Its difficult to compare fighters which were made for different roles. One plane that fits perfectly in one role may have been an desater under different conditions. As example: The Mustang was the perfect long range escort fighter, but was not really fit for the rough conditions of the eastern front and it was also not able to operate from carriers and for night combat it was nearly useless. So i may give my own ranking: The best frontline dogfighter: Yak-3 The best escort fighter: P-51H Mustang The best Navy Fighter: F4U-4 Corsair The best day interceptor: Meteor

To say, that the AIM-9L was the first all aspect IR guided missile is popular, but not 100% correct. (Its perhaps 95% correct.) In reality is was not able for a direct nose shot. There was a cone of perhaps 5° in which the Lima was unable to lock on. I must look into my archive to find an east german graphic about this subject, which was really close to reality, how i found out in the early 90th when i discussed this topic with west german F-4 pilot. In 1982 the AIM-9L was used in Lebanon War. Only in the first battles the Israelis used the AIM-9L in head on shots, because the most shots missed the target. Shots from a slighty sideward moved position already hit the target. But there was a big problem with Friend or Foe discrimination, so that they used the Lima in tail on dogfights in the most cases. Up today, i have not yet seen a HUD screen movie of a AIM-9L head on target shot and kill. Perhaps someone of you has a link to such a video.

Yep, but because someone though a molotow cocktail on it or made a fire under it. No normal car burns out because of loading the batteries. Its not the first time, that Tesla cars lit up. Two or 3 years ago they had a fire series with 3 buring cars in one week. Not because someone had messed up something while tuning the car, but because the cars had production failures. Lithium Ione batteries are strong, but potential fire dangerous. Boing had the same problem with the Dreamliner batteries. Show me the conventional car that burned out two days after delivery! Show me a new built car that burned out caused by technical failures only two days after handing over to the new owner! Not pictures of old cars, not pictures of cars which were victims by arson. Do you know the latest Tesla commercial? I like it!!

A two days old Tesla S after supercharging in Norway on January 3rd 2016. Have fun with Tesla! Enjoy it!
