Mighty_Zuk Posted June 1, 2017 Report Share Posted June 1, 2017 First images of the Stunner 6th generation missile in its AAM version (evolved from SAM). In 2nd photo, the Stunner is on the right wing (left side from our perspective). The range of the AAM is not yet known, but the specifications for the Stunner in its basic (SAM) variant are: 250km range. Mach 7.5 (terminal stage?). Hit-to-kill. Dual seeker (Dual electro-optical and AESA). LostCosmonaut, Ramlaen and Zyklon 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoooSeR Posted June 10, 2017 Report Share Posted June 10, 2017 Quote As reported by the newspaper Le Figaro, the UAE supplied combat helicopters and combat aircraft to Marshal Haftar's regime, thereby violating the UN embargo on the supply of weapons. This follows from the UN report. Combat helicopter Mi-24 (on-board number 858) of Marshal Haftor's armed forces, Ras Lanuf airfield, Libya, March 2017 Quote According to the report of the UN experts sent to members of the Security Council in May, "The UAE is providing material and direct support to the National Libyan Army, which significantly strengthened its aviation component." Also, foreign aid to armed groups has increased in terms of arms supplies, training and technical support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mighty_Zuk Posted June 10, 2017 Report Share Posted June 10, 2017 Didn't know if it should be in the whirlybird thread or this one, but considering it centers around the armament I'll put it here: The AH-64D Apache in IAF service will (likely) replace its Hellfire missiles with Spike variants. Thus, the AN/APG-78 Fire Control Radar will be removed as seen here: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramlaen Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 The (US) House Armed Service Committee wants to carve a Space Corps out of the Air Force in a similar fashion to the Marine Corps being carved out of the Navy. Quote Section 16xx—Establishment of Space Corps in the Department of the Air Force This section would authorize the creation of a Space Corps within the Department of the Air Force and require the Secretary of the Air Force to certify its establishment by January 1, 2019. The Space Corps would be led by the Chief of Staff of the Space Corps and would be composed of such offices and officials determined appropriate by the Secretary of the Air Force, in consultation with the Chief of Staff of the Space Corps. This section would further provide that the Chief of Staff of the Space Corps would be appointed for a term of 6 years, be a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and would report directly to the Secretary of the Air Force, as a co-equal of the Chief of Staff of the Air Force. The Secretary of the Air Force would be given Milestone Decision Authority for space acquisition programs, including with respect to research, development, test, and evaluation and procurement. This section would not affect the authority of the other Services to purse Service-specific user terminals for space programs. This section would also not affect the authorities of the Director of the National Reconnaissance Office and the Director of the National Geospatial-intelligence Agency. This section would terminate the Principal Department of Defense Space Advisor and Defense Space Council. Nothing in this section would authorize or require the relocation of any facilities, infrastructure, or military installations of the Air Force. Lastly, this section would require the Secretary of Defense to provide to the congressional defense committees an interim report by March 1, 2018, and a final report by August 1, 2018, on the plan for the establishment of the Space Corps, recommendations by the Secretary of Defense, and other specified matters related to such.
