Heute verloren wir wieder 4 unserer Jungs. Nun sind es 43 die in Afghanistan ihr Leben verloren. Link zur Meldung im Spiegel

I think he means the one i made for DRV terrain ages ago. In the last version of this terrain it is included and there was a seperate download for the railwaystation in the download section. http://forum.combatace.com/files/file/1043-railwaystation/

I prefer the Near East conflict. Israels wars from 1956 to 1973. I think that the modern times avionics cant be handled well by the TK'games. For instance i miss the "silent shot" capibility of the modern soviet fighters or the multiple target capability of modern radar systems. Thatswhy nearly never past 1980.

I dont believe that is was a crash caused by the plane. The Tu-154 is a safe bird and the polish technicians and pilots are well trained and know their job. Their planes are safe. The accident is a sad and strange thing. Whats is know? What are hard facts? Point 1. The plane crashed and killed all people aboard. Point 2. The Smolensk airfield was covered by fog. Point 3. The pilot of the plane was a very skilled, high professional flyer. Point 4. The tower said, that landing at the Smolensk airfield was not safe and it would be better to go to Minsk or Moscow airfields Point 5. The pilot made 4 attempts to land. Point 6. The last attempt failed. On the first view a typical pilot error. But, its also known that on a travel to Georgia (The land in caucasus, not the US state) the polish president Kwashnewski had some times ago said to one of the pilots of the government plane that he made a insubordination if he wont land at a fog covered airfield. The president forced the pilot to land at Tiflis airport, while Tiflis airport was covered by fog. ... With this in mind .... I ask me what i would do in the situation of the pilot of the polish plane. Would i land under such no go conditions? Would i have the bravery to say "No Sir!"to the heads of government and military? Would i resist against the urges of the "big bosses" and risk my career? I dont know.

Its said that is was a pilot error. 4 landing attempts for a airfield covered by fog. Why he does not went to Minsk or Moscow airfields? Who decided to land at Smolensk? A lot of questions.

Nice pictures of your overloaded MiG-17. In reality i wount fire the missiles under the belly. They would cause a flame out of the engine. And by the way, i have never seen a MiG-17 armed with R-3S (AA-2 Atoll) missiles. I think it has to do that the R-3S had a minimum launch speed of 750 kph and the best combat speed of the Fresco was far below that speed.

Arent the canadian and the US airspace a common air defence area? So i have heared it 20 years ago. If this is correct then US planes over Canada should be not seldom.

Today we lost 3 man. 5 are heaviely wounded.

Wieder 3 Jungs verloren. Nun sind es insgesamt 39. Wieder 5 Schwerverletzte. Ich weiß nicht wieviele noch. Scheißkrieg! Als letzten Gruß das Trauerlied, das wir einst sangen. Von einem deutschen Soldaten der einst stolz Ein-Strich-Kein-Strich trug für die Jungs die in Sandfarben starben. :salute: Als Freunde und Kameraden standen wir in mancher Schlacht. Die Kalaschnikow geladen in Mitten dichter Pulverschwaden trotzten wir der Feindesmacht. Eine Kugel kam geflogen gilt sie Dir oder gilt sie mir? Es hat Dich fortgerissen. Du liegst zu meinen Füßen, als wärst ein Teil von mir. Kann Dir mein Wort drauf geben. Schwör es Dir am heutgen Tag. Dem Feind wird nichts vergeben. Du bleibst in meinem Leben, als Freund und Kamerad. :salute:

If the TSR.2 would have been fielded the Luftwaffe certainly today would not have the Tornado. I think the west germans would have looked for an other european solution, perhaps a cooperation with France, so they perhaps would have a twin engine version of a french bird, maybe a Mirage F-1 clone or a Mirage4000. The intention to build the Tornado was to strenghten the german airplane industry. Dont forget that the Airbus development was in that time frame and today Airbus industries is one of the big players in the civil branch. A licence manufacturing of american planes would not have been so efficient (profit keeping ) than building an own bird.

Tja, the american claims! Its a story of his own. I want to tell you a story that i have heared from the uncle of my mother. He was fighter pilot in the Reichsverteidigung (air defence) and has flown the Me-410. In one combat he was shot down after mixing with 4 american fighters. After the war he learned that all american fighters were credited with a kill because all of them had shooten on the Me-410 and all of them were credited that they hit the Me-410 with 7 bullits, what meant an official "kill". So in reality the germans loss one plane, the americans claimed 4 kills. A very similar story are the american claimes in Korea War or Vietnam. Or to say it with the words of Pepelyayev, the Korean War top scorer: Not all claimed kills are really kills.

The Pilot is a mod of one of Troopers Red_Pilots_Part1 pilots. The cockpit is taken from Zurawskis F-86. Thanks to all whos files i have used to make this MiG-17PF. *************************************************** II. MiG-17F Fighter version *************************************************** TK's MiG-17F based more on the fighter bomber versions which the polish or east germans used in the late 70th and early 80th. In this mod i made the pure fighter version the soviets delivered to the Democratic Republic of Vietnam in the 60th. This version had no wiring for using air to ground weapons in their wings. So they were unable to drop bombs or fire missiles or use rocket pods. On the other hand the soviet delivered MiG-17F had a radio range finder, a radar warning reciever and a 5 shot flare dispenser in the right side of the tail fin. Later the vietnamese got chinese J-5A (MiG-17F copies) which had not such devices. ********************************************** III.

VVS is the wrong term. This is the soviet air defence. Yaks were used in the frontal aviation. Its a big difference. In Korea the units of the frontal aviation fought very successfully while the VVS units failed. To the descriped combat. It is not uncertain, that such things could happen. Unkown types of planes in the sky and suddenly one of the own is falling with a smoke trail. Its easy to guess what you would think and do in such a situation. Especcially if there is no way to communicate with each other. I dont think that the americans could speak russian and vice versa. In one of Koshedubs interviews after the fall of the soviet union he said that the numbers of the planes he had shot down was beyond the 100. One or two of them were Mustangs, he said. But only 65 of his kills were accepted by the soviet aviation authority.

Nice bird and a great video!

MiG-29 isdelije 9.12, 9.12A and 9.12B had no internal jammers and had no jammer pods. MiG-29 isdelije 9.13, MiG-29M isd. 9.15, MiG-29K isd 9.31 had internal jammers MiG-29UB isd.9.51 had no jammers. By the way, a MiG-29A does not exist. Its a mixture between the NATO designation code and the soviet designation. MiG-29 (isdelje 9.12) Fulcrum-A became MiG-29A. So MiG-29 (isdelije 9.13) Fulcrum-C became MiG-29C. Both designations are wrong.

Good idea.
