Donward Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 I guess that's why I'm lucky there's a perpetual rain cloud and the Olympic mountains separating me from seeing any of the Navy's shenanigans out in the Pacific. The most we get upset about here in sonar use and its effect on whales. The pictures have been epic and disconcerting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meplat Posted November 16, 2015 Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 1980s, MiG-23s of the PVO forces, Kursk. What is that truck and what is it set up for?

Sturgeon Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 Oh my god that myth apparently comes from Suvorov: As for why the repaired damage was duplicated on the first Tu-4, I've heard that a likely reason was the men doing the project feared that any visible discrepancy could mean at best the loss of their jobs or at worst their lives. I also heard somewhere that it could've been a bit of a joke, to see if the project's government inspectors would notice what should obviously be seen as a patch. The idea of duplicating bullet holes is silly. The people doing the work would certainly have been familiar with such damage and would never mistake a bullet hole for a design element. - IP 67.136.145.224 , 16 November 2005 It is said that Stalin himself ordered an exact copy of the B-29 to be produced, and it was not up to the engineers to question the wisedom of "the great leader of the advanced world" so they probably copied even the bullet hole patches and according toViktor Suvorov they even had a problem if they should paint a white or red star on the exact copy. Mieciu K 18:14, 10 August 2006 (UTC) "To every detail" is a considerable exaggaration. In reality there were considerable redesign in fuel system, defensive armament, bomb bays etc. Viktor Suvorov is not a credible source. --Mikoyan21 19:19, 3 February 2007 (UTC) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Collimatrix Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 Air and Space magazine had an article on the TU-4, and while they didn't buy the story about damage being copied, they did say that an unusual interior paint scheme where half of the interior was one color and the other half another color, which was an expedient measure forced by paint shortages, was copied.
