Samander is the NOD buggy from C&C ! :)
ReplyDeleteAhahah ! you nailed it, now that you say it, I cannot agree more :-D But Iran needs to build more Obelisks of Light instead though :-) Thanks for the fun moment.
Delete-A
IRI is just a front for NOD reborn. Kane is pulling Khamenei's strings! A new Obelisks of light is part of special projects design, maybe even at prototype stage :)
DeleteIran has some serious missile capability at all levels. Well Done.
ReplyDeleteAre the soldiers in these parades conscripts or from professional corps? Does anyone have any idea what the ratio is (conscripts vs. professional corps)? Also, and this is a side question, why can't IRN upgrade their Cobras to quad blade copters? Is it that much harder?
ReplyDeleteThey are working on 4 blade version as an indigenous national helicopter project but it is very slow. Meanwhile just compare the exhaust gas coming out of the Russian jet engines and that of 50 years old American jet engines.
ReplyDeleteThe smoke entrails from the Mig 29 are nothing to worry about, it is just that the Klimov RD-33 is a turbofan jet engine that does not burn JP fuel as efficiently as the US engines. If anyone ever flew an older F4 fly at low altitudes? They also left a good trail until the advent of JP 7 and cleaner fuels and refined General Electric J79 engines after the Vietnam experience when SAMS would lock on to the trails. The Russian SU-30 is more refined and better at burning fuels at low altitudes.
DeleteAs you can see in the second picture, the F-4 has a smoke trail too, and it is not quite in position relative to the F-5s. The F-4's engines produce visible smoke when thrust is above 70%. This is an indication that the F-4 is accelerating. Perhaps the pilot is trying to catch up with a group ahead of him. You can easily see in every other picture the aircrafts are flying in formation as well as maintaining correct positions, except one that shows the F-4 with the smoking engines.
Delete60% conscripts in the Artesh while Sepah is 100% volunteer professionals. Basij is all volunteers. The Cobras will be replaced by a joint attack helicopter program with Russia and China. Most of over 100 plus fleet has been upgraded anyway. Many militaries including the Turks, Pakistan and Zionists operate Cobras.
ReplyDeleteIt is not only Mig-29 but Su-24 s has also the same black smoke trail. In general almost majority if not all of the Russian jet engines have that black smoke trail which is indication of the incomplete combustion and as a result low efficiency of the engine in relation with the amount of the consumed fuel.
ReplyDeleteWell, wait for american engines, it may happen during your lifetime............
