Just imagine this scene ... wife returns home and there is a Phantom's in bed ... she goes to the bathroom and there is also a Phantom's ...probably there was also a F-4J Phantom VX-4 "Black Bunny" somewhere? 😁 B.R. Serge

I just remembered an anecdote on this theme! "The patient comes to the doctor: - Give me pills for greed! ... and more, more, more pills! " 😁 ....HLJ - give me Phantoms ! ... and more, more, more Phantom's! " 😁😁 B.R. Serge

India was finally able to make a copy of the Firestreak: ??? 😉😁😁 B.R. Serge

More powerful (because more long) modification R-77 with classic rudders instead of grille-rudders? B.R. Serge

Su-57 in flight without canopy on testing: From this video: https://voennoedelo.com/uploads/video/kbshsiyfhbphmqub6ror.mp4 I already wrote in this topic - Sukhoi need canopy had to buy from Rob-Tauros! 😁 B.R. Serge

Dear, Noelh In short, the answer to the first statement is ambiguous, according to the second statement, I think so. State structures, for this, are state structures that would play a long game and for the future outside the state, regardless of any events inside. If such structures stop doing this, then the state has ceased or ceases to exist. I do not think that there is no state in the United States now, so I disagree with Your thesis. I will describe in more detail late. The tactics of using a drone is nothing new, drones were massively used by Israel in 1982, countermeasures can be quite cheap and highly effective. In this conflict, Azerbaijan for the first time massively used the An-2 drone flotilla: which open the air defense group of Armenia, after which combat drones strike at the air defense system while the air defense system is reloading the ammunition. It is interesting, of course, that the An-2 or SAM drones will end earlier, but in any case, the exchange of the SAM for the old An-2 is not equivalent to the SAM. This tactical innovation can lead to the fact that now all exhausted aircraft from storage bases can be converted into drones. B.R. Serge P.S. Some good humor. Short guide how a Georgian, an Azerbaijani and an Armenian are recognize. On video 1 - Georgian style , 2 - Azerbaijan style 3 - Armenian style : 😁 There are some Caucasians on the video, but I don't know which ones. But I can assume that in this company in the video, Georgians, Azerbaijanis and Armenians are sitting at the table. ☮

Now we know, how to make "Squadron green putty"! 😁😁 B.R. Serge

Perhaps, a specially trained person, crosses out the name "Heller/Trumpeter/Hobbyboss" on the box with a marker and writes "Revell!!!" next to it ? 😉😁😁 Seriously though, I also thought about this question. The explanation may be that they considered it unprofitable to print their boxes, instructions and decals. B.R. Serge

Hi, all! Reading the technical manual for the I-300, the prototype of the MiG-9, drew attention on two type wheels on this aircraft: Soviet type. Main wheels: 660×160 mm Nose wheel: 480×210 mm ....and American 😲 wheels. Main wheels: 26×6 inch Nose wheel: 19 inch. The question is, on which American aircraft were these types of wheels used ( maybe P-39 or P-63?) ? B.R. Serge

Do You have doubts?😉😁 I have a photoproof:😎😁 the truth is inside, not a MiG-23, but something more valuable ... a complete collection of Lavochkin's single-engine jet fighters, except for the La-190, La-150 and La-15 ... La-150 and La-15 they are elsewhere, La-190 just nobody does. I do not know. 1. I need to find my disaster with the MiG-23.😁 2. I need to see Your model in these drawings: http://www.airwar.ru/other/draw/mig23m.html B.R. Serge

Ahaha...Rob, when the first good drawings for the MiG-23MLD just appeared, it was in the early 90s, I tried to make a MiG-23 from Hasegawa using them ... I failed! But I still have the details of this disaster somewhere lying around! 😉😁 All I got was a fin, and when I sometimes see it in some kind of box .... I look at it and think: "But I was once able to paint with a brush!" 😁 B.R. Serge

Pete , that's why I wrote - make it the way Heller intended it, without changing anything! I am sure that sooner or later a normal, accurate and good MiG-19 from some manufacturer will appear. frame - grey cushions - black or brown. More details on colors, as far as I remember, I wrote in my unfinished build MiG-21F from Modelsvit. B.R. Serge

Some preliminary results of the conflict for the UK: https://rusi.org/publication/rusi-defence-systems/key-armenia-tank-losses-sensors-not-shooters#.X3zd6zjNfap.twitter Do You seriously consider this the only behind-the-scenes player? I have to disappoint You, not the only one and far from the main one. 1. Before the start of the conflict, joint Azerbaijani-Turkish maneuvers were carried out. Turkey transferred a number of F-16s to Azerbaijan, they claim that they did not return to Turkey, but remained in Azerbaijan. 2. Azerbaijan denies that the F-16 shot down the Su-25; according to their version, the Su-25 was shot down by the Azerbaijani MiG-29. 3. With the wreckage of the downed Su-25 on hand, Armenia can determine the type of missile by the fragments of the submunitions and the remnants of explosives. Where is this data? 4.Both sides are actively using disinformation. Therefore, the fact is only that the Su-25 was shot down. Interesting as a version, but most likely not for current conflict... although this should not be completely ruled out. If for Christian it is possible to drink alcohol, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ararat_(brandy) then as far as I remember Islam prohibits the use of alcohol. But not bad brandy(cognac) and wines are made in Azerbaijan: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azerbaijani_wine At least for this factor, it is not entirely correct to reduce everything to the struggle of religions, let's say both sides are not religiously fanatical. Religion naturally plays an important role in these countries, but these are more secular states, I think, since my region is multinational, I came across both Armenians and Azerbaijanis ... both of them drink vodka ...😁 A fairly accurate definition of the current situation, I fully and completely agree. This is very superficial. Formally You are right, but in fact there is a large Armenian diaspora in the USA, France and other countries ... Difficult question, yes and no. And again, this is very superficial. I will return to this issue later, because this is a very big question, but for now I can say that the Russian Federation does not need this conflict from the word "absolutely not needed". In fact, You described the situation before 2017, until that time it was really so. Also superficial. According to my information, this is not the case. The United States is not uniform on this issue. I plan to describe all of the above questions after October 20, when there will be a little more time. The conflict is really very confusing and who is right and who is wrong is hard to say. The conflict is part of more global processes, the intermediate results of which we will probably see until 2024 year inclusive. B.R. Serge

...or ....In space, with this cat, no one will hear xenomorph scream... Yup, should have added "..... until it's too late" And now we know the depth of the horror that the xenomorph experienced at the end: 😁 B.R. Serge P.S. Where are my food? 😁

Hi Pete, I did my best! 😉😁 O.K. Early MiG-19 Late MiG-19SV Tail early MiG-19: (Not movable, with conventional elevator (or rudder)) Tail late MiG-19SV: (full movable without Not swivel, with conventional elevator (or rudder) And now look at Heller tail panel line: Feel a different? 😉 B.w. look at too thick anti flutter weights at the ends tail of Heller in comparison with the original! Also pay attention to the trailing edge of the wing! For the MiG-19 of all modifications, it is straight; for Heller, there is a kink on the back. B.R. Serge

In reality Lulka work over jet engine starts pre-war in Leningrad. But at the beginning of the war, when Leningrad was surrounded and the city was under the threat of capture, 80% of the finished engine was buried in the ground on the territory of the plant with drawings. In the middle of the war, when information appeared on the intelligence line about work on jet aircraft in Germany, Great Britain and the United States, work intensified in the USSR. Gudkov is working on a modification of the LaGG-3 for a jet engine known as the Gu-VRD, begins work on the LK and Sukhoi, the LK will later become the Su-9. Lulka returns to Leningrad, digs out the engine and continues to work on it. Late he will make his own engine, which will be known as TR-1, will be installed on Alekseev I-211 and Sukhoi Su-11 ... but the engine will be unclaimed since Nine was already looming on the horizon. There was work on the aerodynamics of swept wings, which I mentioned here on the forum. But in general, these were scattered works, and after the war, the leadership of the USSR underestimated the importance of the aviation industry and the Air Force on the creation of jet aircraft. After that, many lost their positions (Yakovlev, Shakhurin, Novikov) and some lost their lives (Khudyakov*)... some writing in Russian Wikipedia in article "Aviation litigation" https://ru.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Авиационное_дело However, one should not assume that prison sentences were received only because of the lag behind the West, there were complex reasons. See below footnote about Khudyakov. There were many stories about why they did it .... the most curious story is that Mikoyan won a contract for the supply of engines from the director of Rolls-Royce to billiards ... but in reality, Britain just needed money. True, it should be noted that Vampires and Meteors in the USSR were not sold, despite the fact that ours wanted to buy them ...but I think that the factor of time played more in this, while the British ministries and departments agreed on the sale, the realization came that the former ally of the USSR had become an enemy. B.R. Serge ____________ * - in reality Marshal of the Air Force of the Red Army Sergey Aleksandrovich Khudyakov, real name Armenak Artyomovich Khanferyants, in 1945, organized a landing in Manchukuo, arrested Emperor Pu Yi and seized the gold reserves of Manchuria. However, during the transportation of this stock and other trophies, one of the two aircraft on the way to Moscow disappeared along with the gold. https://ru.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Худяков,_Сергей_Александрович Thus, it is not necessary to say that Khudyakov suffered nothing, perhaps he would have gotten off with just imprisonment, but the stolen gold from the plane simply left him no chance ... although the story is dark enough, gold was never found, of course as an option Marshal could have simply been framed, but we are unlikely to find out about this. Therefore, talk about unfounded Stalinist repressions is all talking to the public, most of those who were repressed really had real reasons for this, such as espionage, sabotage, embezzlement of money or theft of state values, as well as intrigue and inept leadership. Khudyakov as one example. As a curiosity, we can mention a group of pests that in the 30s, in the Crimea, invested their own excrement in delicious canned fish sold for export to the West. During the investigation, they explained that they did this in order to undermine the prestige of the USSR and thus terminate foreign economic contracts for the supply of delicious canned fish, thus depriving the USSR of foreign exchange earnings. This group of "excrementator's" 😁 was sentenced to seven years in prisons and camps, but later in gorbachov periode they were rehabilitated as innocent convicts, yepp..

.....and this is taking into account the fact that most companies like Kaspersky, AVZ, Antivir, Avast, Dr.Web and others look with very great suspicion* at such topics: 😉😁 _______________ * - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trojan_horse_(computing) B.R. Serge

In the MiG-19, the reason for the appearance of the stubs was the improvement in maneuverability and controllability. F-100 stability problems was during takeoff and landing due to the slat: a non-symmetric release led to this. I saw only three MiG-19s in the form of a monument, one ordinary MiG-19S in Khartsyzsk that I managed to photograph with a film camera, one PM in Donetsk I gave a link to my walk-round, and one in the Avdeevka area, which is now on the other side of the front line and The photo of which is practically not available on the Internet (I really regret not having photographed it before the war!), but the problem is that the Donetsk MiG-19PM was literally flooded with silver paint by the crazy restorers, as You see: http://walkarounds.scalemodels.ru/v/walkarounds/avia/after_1950/mig-19pm/MiG-19PM_0013.jpg.html http://walkarounds.scalemodels.ru/v/walkarounds/avia/after_1950/mig-19pm/MiG-19PM_0015.jpg.html http://walkarounds.scalemodels.ru/v/walkarounds/avia/after_1950/mig-19pm/MiG-19PM_0061.jpg.html?g2_imageViewsIndex=1 http://walkarounds.scalemodels.ru/v/walkarounds/avia/after_1950/mig-19pm/MiG-19PM_0063.jpg.html it is practically impossible to determine what color it was originally without a ladder.

Announcement! Watch over the next 10 years on Hook Facebook great photos: - Siberian bears; - Siberian forest; - frozen thermometer summer; - mosquito size with a dog. 😉😁 Ahhh....I forgot to add that Pak* was the name of the teacher of higher mathematics https://ru.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Пак,_Витольд_Витольдович at my technical university, to whom I once took an exam in this subject. Since I do not have very good relations with higher mathematics (I had no luck with good teachers, as I think), my memories are not very good either ... therefore, "Pak-Fa" associations are for me "mathematics and soap" ...😁 But in some sense any modern aircraft for designer it's many "mathematics and soap"! 😉😁 B.R. Serge ______________ * - many stories were told about him ... one of the most famous is when a student could not get a grade in higher mathematics for a long time, and one day he was in a hurry for an exam, stumbled, fell, dropped a student's grade book in which grades were given, a grade book dropped out of my hands and slid across the floor through the gap between the floor and the door and flew into the auditorium where V. Pak was taking exams in higher mathematics for students. The student froze in horror and bewilderment, because this was his last chance to pass the exam and in case of failure, he would simply be kicked out of the university. Imagine his surprise when, five minutes later, from under a crack in the door of the lecture hall, his grade book flew back across the floor. He took it with trepidation and excitement, opened it .... and was surprised to see there a positive assessment that allowed him to continue his studies at the university.... According to rumors, when Pak was asked why he gave a good grade in this case, he said, "Because of the originality! So nobody gave me the grade book yet!" 😁😁😁 What is true in this, and what a fairy tale now no one will say ...

Caption under the photo: "This one here, on the Internet writes nasty things about You!" 😉😁😁 PAK-FA? Mike, as for me, there is something soapy in this! 😉😁 Su-57 more traditional....as for my. B.R. Serge

Inside intake big portrait Putin*, 😁having met with him radio-electronic waves of enemy radar in horror scatter in different directions without getting back on the radar receiver! 😉😁😁 B.R.

Pete, do not be sorry, because in reality my name is Sergei, but in the spoken language Serzh, Seryi, Seryoga, Seryozha is also used in the old language, Sergiy will be in general ... I am writing Serge so that the English-speaking forum users would not break their language once again.😉😁 If there is an almost identical Western version of your name, why not write it on the Western forum? Therefore, everything is correct, You can write any of the above variations of my name. In principle, the MiG-19 from this will be. But even this photo shows some inconsistencies. But I would recommend not to fix anything in this model, but to assemble it as it is from the box. Most interesting moment tail has an elevator. In reality, with such a keel there were only the very first and very early rare models of a pure MiG-19 without letters. It's a very rare model, not exported. Only one surviving model of this type is known, which was in the 90s on Khodynka, now the fate of this aircraft is not known my. Late model (including MiG-19PM) have fully movable tail. All correct until Bronze missiles. B.R. Serge/Sergei/Serzh/Seryi/Seryoga/Seryozha
