Jedi, the Comanche was stealthy so that's much better than the Apache Longbow any aircraft can be shot down by RPG... but the RPG is not guided... it needs to be in a straight path to the aircraft

MoD announces air-to-ground upgrade for Eurofighter
Nesher posted a topic in Military and General Aviation
The Eurofighter Typhoon combat jet is to receive a major update, gaining the ability to effectively attack ground targets – a thing it currently cannot do. The UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) announced today that the governments of Britain, Spain, Italy and Germany have agreed to pay the Eurofighter consortium £830m to sort out the controversial wonder-plane. "The MoD has taken another significant step to equip the Royal Air Force with the capability it requires by signing a contract to transform RAF Typhoon fighters," says the MoD, tacitly admitting that the Eurofighter is not what the RAF requires. Current Eurofighters – when they finally go operational later this year – will be pure air-superiority platforms, good only for fighting other aircraft using advanced missiles such as AMRAAM. They have taken 22 years to develop. The MoD anticipates a final UK procurement cost of £20bn based on 232 planes for the RAF, which would work out at £86m per airframe. eurofighter on the groundHowever, the RAF only plans to establish seven Typhoon squadrons, which would mean an operational fleet of 140-odd. The remaining 90-plus aircraft would have to be mothballed if 232 were bought. This has already happened in the past with other RAF planes ordered in excessive numbers, such as the Tornado F3 and the Nimrod MR1. If all 232 are delivered, the cost to the taxpayer per Typhoon in RAF service would be an eye-watering £140m. Understandably, there is speculation that the partner nations may decide to cancel the third tranche of orders. That would result in the UK getting 144 jets and save perhaps £2bn from the total British bill, leaving individual Typhoons price-tagged at £125m each. No matter how you look at it, the Eurofighter is a very expensive piece of kit and will need to work hard to justify its cost. But air-to-air combat doesn't crop up all that often nowadays. Military jets spend most of their operational time blowing up targets on the ground. With British troops in Afghanistan calling for airstrikes on an almost daily basis, the RAF will be keen to make sure that its latest toy can get in on the action. The UK's share of the upgrade bill is reportedly £325m, which puts the cost of fixing up each plane at a mere million or two quid, a snip compared to the cost of buying it in the first place. This enhancement will certainly make the Eurofighter more useful, but it's questionable if anything can make it cost-effective. As a comparison, the UK plans to buy US-made F-35 Lightning II strike planes as well. These planes aren't as manoeuvrable as a Eurofighter, but they can carry AMRAAMs perfectly well. In many ways they're much better than the European super-jet: they'll have stealth, for instance, and probably vertical-landing jump-jet capability too. The price of a Lightning II? Currently estimated below £55m per plane, less than half the likely price of a Eurofighter. Against competition like this, it'll take more than an upgrade to make the Typhoon look like a good deal. (TheRegister) IMHO nothing like american made jets! :) Cheers -
Let me ask you this, why 3 Israeli soldiers that were in Israeli territory when they were kidnapped can't spend Passover at their homes? the holiday which celebrates freedom!! if the world (by that I mean the U.N.) did anything to fight this acts back then, the Iranians would event think about kidnapping sailors in any territory I hope all of them come back safe and sound... the Israeli and the British Soldiers!!! <S!>

This is the new "Toy" for the Israeli Special Forces
Nesher posted a topic in Military and General Aviation
(hope you can see the picture) new Israeli made Insertion vehicle for SF... The AXE make a long story short, after searching for vehicle suiting the SF and no match Mazi (the Land Forces HQ in the IDF) began to engineer a new vehicle and this is the result the vehicle can carry 9 troops with full gear (up to 3.5 tons) designed for regular roads and rough terrains accessing high speeds other countries are intrested... maybe the U.S. Army or USMC will have it in the future or other armies in the world. Cheers! -

Nesher replied to Nesher's topic in Military and General Aviation
nice idea RedDevil but the vehicle if for insertion the troops in it can carry the nadelauncher (M203 on an M16 or TAR-21 in the not so far future) about the 50 cal, soldiers can carry M249 or Negev (IMI) instead... -
