  1. Some more interesting things from Lybia. Chinese Dahua DHI-UAV-D-1000JHV2 anti-UAV gun with LNA Ramains of RIM-66E missile allegedly fired by a Turkish frigate against LNA/UAE UAV.
  2. L-39NG started flight envelope testing. Short video is bellow. So far the top speed M0,8 and the ceiling 11580 meters was confirmed (top speed achieved in the testing was M0,822). In the same time on the ground they finished destructive tests of the fuselage and first level of wing testing (full destruction of the wing is yet to be performed).
  3. My way of social distancing applied today (waking up at 4 a.m. was hard though). North-western Bohemia, near the motorway Prague - Dresden. I didn't meet a single person...
  4. A view inside the Luftwaffe MEDEVAC A-310 (preparing to load Italian patients).
  5. A helmetcam footage of a French foreign legion patrol in Mali. https://www.parismatch.com/Actu/International/Au-feu-avec-la-legion-etrangere-1680079
  6. Last few days of anti-air war in Lybia be like this... First LNA "shot down" a drop tank from a Mirage 2000 of its allies just to be countered by GNA shooting down its own Bayraktar Mini drone.
  7. Nice photo of Antonov crew after another arrival in Shenzen four hours a go.
  8. LNA captured damaged ACV-15 (first time). HEAT hit is easily visible.
  9. I don't know. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable can answer that.
  10. It's not T-90A. That's a fact. Can You see that it does not have T-90A turret? It is T-84AB1. It's the same thing as on this photo from Serbian expo (with few small details being different on the particular display tank).
  11. Drag race between M3A3 Stuart and Ha-Go. The result isn't suprising
  12. A correction because finally the airlift looks somewhat different. At least three An-124 flights will take place (it looks like both Antonov and Volga-Dnepr) and three fligts per week for at least six week by China Eastern A-330. Today first A-330 arrived and the An-124 is loading in Shenzen now.
  13. Yes, agree, but the tanks and the philosophy is so different that direct comparison is difficult. The side armor of late T-series tanks cover no ammo, it has much smaller area and it's so angled that it can't be hit from frontal 60°arc. IMO the turret side armor of Abrams or Leopard was not made for stopping direct side attack either but it had to be stronger because unlike in T-series the turret sides can be hit from the frontal arc and there is a lot of ammo behind it.
  14. A question to WH98. What's the point of not using full diameter for the warhead size and why is the second warhead smaller than the first one?
