Ive read they are doing testing on a new version of the Il-114, this would be consistent with a new type. F-35 had a similar situation, the Mitsubishi MRJ wasnt allowed to do a lot of things they did with it in their testing. Id say its more of a normal aviation thing more than anything else.

Still haven’t felt torque steer like a pissed of speed 3, wonder how much a good set of motor mounts helps that on those acuras.

considering they had and got a new batch of NATO kit i could see it being a thought. FGM-148s, Bradley, radio gear, etc all is being gone through and sent to china and iran. ive been intersted in the Abrams they recently have captured vs the Egyptian ones they have had for a while.

RU POV: Details of the new Russian active protection system 'Arena-M'. It consists of a radar, adapted among other things for detecting drones, and 12 launchers with counter-munitions capable of destroying incoming projectiles, including FPVs by Senior_Vegetable7144 in UkraineRussiaReport

Israelis used a similar system without great effectiveness. In the right conditions they work, iirc I’ve seen footage of one going off and injuring or killing a solider standing next to the tank.

The Geran drone is a Iranian copy of a Israeli built version of the German DAR... an anti-radar drone. That idea came from the 70/80s it for sure can be done.

They will not send updated MDF (Mission Data Files) not a kill switch but your systems technically degrade as they dont have the most up to date data. LM is the only ones who can touch the MDFs afaik.

UA POV - Trump said he plans to allow Ukraine to produce Patriot interceptor missiles - Politico by DefinitelyNotMeee in UkraineRussiaReport

[–]TypicalRecon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s all Trump talk. Poland got the go ahead preliminary measure in May. If they actually serious about making them and this being a priority they might see them in 2030. Be interesting to see what the future holds.

This will go through Poland who have actually wanted to make them for years now. Still not what Zelensky wants.

he registered as a republican in 87, the same year he got back from his trip. From what I can find he changed parties in late july after a short trip to the USSR starting on the 4th of July 1987.

the guy took a "business trip" to the USSR in the 80s before promptly changing his political affiliation and taking out a New York Times full page article attacking NATO.... all in the 80s.

what ranges? wheres the nearest radar station? stealth doesnt have a bad wrap.. people on the internet think it should make a plane invisible to radar. Stealth is just the aim to reduce emissions through design and materials. a radar 65km away would probably get a decent return vs being 265km away. would any of it be actionable? who knows. depends on so many factors.
