Su24 low pass over USS Donald Cook (missile destroyer)

Should we recreate them on DCS.

Is it possible to limit a battleships engage area to 10 meters?

I think you could set the ship to 'weapons hold'. Then assign a trigger zone on the ship and add a little bit of simple scripting so that to complete the mission the pilot has to fly within a certain distance of the ship below a certain altitude 3-4 times, then RTB.

It's still not as good as the low level pass on Firefox.

True. The mighty Mig31 Firefox was able to do it at Mach 6.

Cool. Thanks.

On Tuesday, two Russian warplanes flew simulated attack passes past the USS Donald Cook in the Baltic Sea, and while the move was unnerving and aggressive, it's not the kind of event the Navy responds to with force.

 

"You don’t get to kill people just because they’re being annoying," retired frigate and cruiser commanding officer Capt. Rick Hoffman told the Navy Times about the incident.

It was a total mistake by the Russians. They thought the ship was the USS Donald Trump. :lol:

dunno where the news is getting simulated bombing runs,

if that was a simulated bombing run, that Su-24 would be full of shards of metal.

This is not different than when Iran was intentionally buzzing U.S. Base Camps w/ their F-14As a in 2008.

Another source said a simulated strafing run. Because high noon with a destroyer will work well.:D

Ok going home to play. This forum is getting worse in my addiction with DCS. Thinking chatting on real aviation with you was better....

I think the point is (what ever the actual type is) that jamming a ship doesn`t get you splashed across every news outlet around the globe. The point of this mission (political) is made by any aircraft coming that close to the warship and being photographed.

Indeed, and it is more effective if the planes involved in the flyby's are actual Su-24M fighter-bombers instead of Su-24MP ELINT/Jammer platforms (of which the Russians only have about 10 to 15 examples of at most) which further supports my suspicion that both airframes were Su-24M's and not Su-24MP's which is my point.

Ok, that's a challenging mission, what about that:

 

SU-24 mission objective:

1st: Take a selfie with an US warship on the background, neither phone holder or copilot cannot help you.

2nd: Show yourself drinking vodka in the same selfie, yes you need to hold bottle and smartphone.

3rd: Do not activate any enemy AA.

FC2 had an F15 mission where you had to make a low level supersonic pass on a Russian ship to warn it off. It was always a favourite mission of mine.

That's the whole point of these missions, it's to show off and pretend like you're attacking to say "We're not, but we could if we wanted to." The thing is, everyone involved knows they're playing the same game, so there's no real danger of weapons getting fired. You can tell by the Captain's remarks that he's not bothered by the runs themselves, he's annoyed that they interrupted his deck drill, something further reinforced by the quote by the retired captain, no one's scared here and this isn't really out of the ordinary, they're just irritated that the smooth running of drills has been interrupted.

Cool, I just come back from the 104th doing low pass on enemy grind target airfield. Until the shot down my 21

Yes, that make sense. At the end they are all trained to stay calm in all conditions. Flying 20m or sailing in the Baltic sea.

I'm eagerly waiting for the Viggen and the Hornet and their anti-ship-missiles to actually sink some ships instead of just overflying them :D

Can't wait too. In the meantime keep exercise with the radar beam guided kh66 grom.

Hey LimaSierra, you were talking tech stuff, & shouldn't have chimed in. I don't know a SU-24M from a SU-24 Z, so I apologize.

Or how should I write "a house of mother-in-law" right?

:megalol: they seriously believe an 1 kW jammer on an aircraft can magically jam/deactivate an 1 MW radar on a ship from distance few hundred meters? :laugh:

Not sure if they don't understand basic physics or just try to push their proparganda

:laugh: it also quite funny how their " crew statement on social media " can't be found anywhere, no screenshot, nothing.

I think we need more lol, megalol or laugh to be sure that is not only propaganda :smartass:

Khibiny was not even installed on Su-24 to begin with. TBH , this is very low level propaganda
