joey45 Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Considering this is military and aviation - here's on of my vids of my holiday [Tour of Duty] in Iraq. it is military and has a few pics of a heli... + its funny. The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

CE_Mikemonster Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 The first photo of the Russian plane of the fifth generation Where does the airbase look to be located? I presume that you'd test any secret prototype in the middle of nowhere and there seem to be houses in the background. Also why no afterburner/thrust rings? Too many cowboys. Not enough indians.

EtherealN Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 (edited) Yeah, shame that one was turned down in the competition for a new littoral warfare craft for the US Navy - that would have been a massive windfall for Kockums. :P (But, of course, it is highly debatable if you could make that one integrate with the world's largest blue-water navy... :P ) One hilarious comment I read in an article a long while ago mentioned that there had been criticism of the fact that it's a carbon fibre hull as opposed to stronger materials, which was feared to compromise survivability. The response from the swedish navy guy was "It's a 600 tonne ship. I don't care what material you build it in - if it's hit by an ASM it's over." :D Edited October 5, 2009 by EtherealN [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Daniel "EtherealN" Agorander | Даниэль "эфирныйн" Агорандер Intel i7 2600K @ 4.4GHz, ASUS Sabertooth P67, 8GB Corsair Vengeance @ 1600MHz, ASUS GTX 560Ti DirectCU II 1GB, Samsung 830series 512GB SSD, Corsair AX850w, two BENQ screens and TM HOTAS Warthog DCS: A-10C Warthog FAQ | DCS: P-51D FAQ | Remember to read the Forum Rules | | | Life of a Game Tester Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

59th_LeFty Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Are those beautiful corvettes stealthy only by their shapes, or - like fighter planes - had coated in a sort of radar absorbing material? - The second case should involve a LOT of money though :) [sIGPIC]http://www.forum.lockon.ru/signaturepics/sigpic5279_1.gif[/sIGPIC] I could shot down a Kitchen :smartass: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To reduce RCS they have shape with no right angles and as EtherealN said they use radar absorbing carbon fibre materials. The Visby’s hull material is thermo-insulating and exterior paint is selected for optimum heat insulation as well as camouflage.

topol-m Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Klingon Cloaking device? :P I would have thought that once they're within Visual range they're gonna have a pretty hard time at Hidin' themselves :) It`s just cammo commonly used in all sorts of military naval, ground or air vehicles making them more difficult to spot. You use the paint pattern on the ship to confuse optical range finding. The use of contrasting angular patterns is attended with depth perception and make it difficult to focus your rangefinder. At least in theory :D It`s not like i`m aiming at Visbys every day :laugh: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topol-m Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Sukhoj and Mig are taking part in LAVEX-2009. The event will last until 8 October. The two russian companies are exibiting Su-35, Mig-35, Su-30MK2 and Mig-29SMT. LAVEX is the biggest military and civil aviation event in North Africa.

EtherealN Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 On "visual detection" I have seen some pretty neat camo systems used on the Stockholm class corvettes where you basically cannot see if unless you know it's there when you're walking by a couple hundred metres from them. Drawback of those are that they really are just very very well made camo nets, so you need to have terrain of the right kind to anchor by - and you can't move at the time. :P I'm not sure if they've made a version for the Visby, but I'd suspect they would. Debatable exactly how useful this is, but it does improve the possibilities of hiding in a situation where the enemy has air superiority, at least.
